Dordtist in these conversations obviously relates to the city of Dordtrect. I suppose the Synod of Dordt is a figment of my imagination?

In which, according to the rules of our language....one subscribing to such a philosophy could rightly be called a DordtIST.

One into communes is called a CommunIST.

One into philanthrophy is called a PhilanthrpIST.

As suppose you remember that rule now?

I'll be a fool for Jesus.

Unfortunately, as any bilingual Russian knows, our language is notoriously inconsistent:

Think (present) - thought (past), not "thinked".

Fish (singular) - fish (pl.), not "fishes".

Or, for that matter, Calvinist and Arminian.

And so on... As an Army chaplain and educated man, you're aware of this.

Of course, "strategery", "femi-Nazi", and "mcJob" are examples of newcomers to our highly mutable vernacular, so if you get enough people on board, who knows?

This may be your worst one yet.

Dordtists are inhabitants of the city of Dordtrect. Not all citizens of any city believe the same way. Are all New Yorkers democrats?

one subscribing to such a philosophy could rightly be called a DordtIST.

What philosophy??? City's don't have philosophies. Communes are not cities. Philanthropists are not cities.

I'll be a fool for Jesus.

Well, He asks different things from each of us.

xzins, your whole purpose with this is to incite and inflame. You know it, I know it, and so do most of the others reading this thread. You do NOT subscribe to the Canons of the Synod of Dordtdrecht. In actual fact, you oppose them. There is no such thing as an Arminain Calvinist. What you are doing is dissimulation, and mocking. Neither are things that Christ would do. If you name the Name of Christ, you must stop this. You started it. You can stop it. You are not acting as Christ would.
