Arminian Calvinists?

Yes. The absolutely LOVE jumbo shrimp!

[Corin Stormhands]

Did you just call yourself a hypocrite?

[Quix]

I didn't realize there was a train wreck near the Calvinists with grabbable humor lying all about for the taking.

I guess wonders never cease.

I didn't think their trip to 7/11 for it had been successful.

[Quix]

Interesting descriptions of a reality

I never realized was . . . afoot.

LOL.

[Frumanchu]

Wow. Way to sell it, x. Are all your evangelistic efforts this....brief?

[Frumanchu]

Nope.

[Quix]

Does math count that high?

[xzins]

Yes. As even a cursory reading of the history of the era will testify, Arminius was a Calvinist who never left and was never kicked out. He wrote glowingly of Calvin and recommended Calvin's Commentaries above all other writings save the bible.

Therefore, I am a calvinist in the tradition of Arminius.

[Frumanchu]

Study your history :)

[Corin Stormhands]

Hmmmmm...coulda fooled me.

[Quix]

I suppose that's better than being a super shrimp

or is that a super frump? A frumpy super?

I think I'm getting silly. I should go to bed. But I just got up!

[xzins]

Is there more required?

But -- the point -- one can't say it hadn't been posted.

And, since pgrim was almost obviously being facetious, it was a sufficient answer...UNLESS he bit.

I will make you fishers of men.

[Frumanchu]

After your cursory read, go back and do a little checking on his explitic disagreement with the Reformed university at which he was employed, the Dutch Reformed church, and the Belgic Confession.

He may have been an admirer of Calvin's work, but he disagreed sharply with some main theological points of Calvinism.

[Quix]

I C.

Poor fellow. Maybe his corpus collasum was split.

[Frumanchu]

Hmmmmm...coulda fooled me.

Doesn't take much.

[Quix]

Those readings were boring at the time. And a long time ago. And not overly extensive.

[Frumanchu]

But -- the point -- one can't say it hadn't been posted.

Never was my point. Go back and read.

[Quix]

Sounds like the more fitting description from what I recall of sparse reading.

[xzins]

He says he's in agreement with the Belgic and with many others that existed in his era.

The Synod of Dort which came after Arminius' death decided they didn't like him, but the calvinists kept him in a pulpit and a university professorship til the day of his death.

[Corin Stormhands]

Doesn't take much.

I just consider the source.
