but the truce has lasted so long I don't remember if I was an Arminian or a Calvinist in those debates.IIRC you were an Arminian when you were debating Calvinists and a Calvinist when you were debating Arminians.
And a lawyer all the time.
I stopped worrying about you, Marlowe, after you posted the Institutes. They are solid enough to persuade the persuaders. 8~)

So you’re suggesting we need a “witch of Endor?”
Anyone know if Hillary is a freeper?

It’s sort of like a family reunion, only
we aren’t family
and we haven’t been separated
and we aren’t reuniting

I think I have it. Do you realize that the Annointed One, the Obama, is a member of the Reformed faith?
To: xzins; P-Marlowe; nobdysfool
You BOTH can make the list if you simply agree that salvation is monergistic and not synergistic ("Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith.")
That and a Calvinist verse by a favorite reformed saint sent to nobdysfool will get your name...on...the...list.
You know you want it. So close...

Were there *any* German citizens whose lives were not forfeit at the whim of the SS? Weren’t their lives cheapened by the euthanasia, the polgroms and the camps?
Which of them could say that they enjoyed liberty and the right not to be killed from 1933 until 1945, if they hid Jews or, as Bonhoeffer did, plotted to overthrow or kill Hitler?

I always believed salvation was monergistic. What we argued over was whether faith, being a gift, was an act of human volition.

You make a good point. Scott Roeder is no hero. He’s anti-abortion, but he’s not pro-life, as no person who’s pro-life would shoot an unarmed man in a house of worship. Also, this murder does not do benefit the pro-life cause in any way.

We’ll never know, will we, since so few of them tried.

Also, this murder does not do benefit the pro-life cause in any way.There have been no late term abortions in Kansas since 5/31/09.
Who are you going to thank for that?

You're quoting Whitefield?!?
Be still my heart.
As for human volition, I was reading Jeremiah the other day...
"The word which came to Jeremiah from the LORD, saying, Arise, and go down to the potter's house, and there I will cause thee to hear my words." -- Jeremiah 18:1-2
We're all deaf unless He "causes us to hear."

Thank you so much for sharing your insights, dear brother in Christ!

Although believers by nature, are far from God, and children of wrath, even as others, yet it is amazing to think how nigh they are brought to him again by the blood of Jesus Christ. George Whitefield

Yes, it does. It forces us to decide whether we think abortion really is murder.
If it is murder, then Tiller was a murderer who murdered 60,000 souls.
Are you just mouthing words, or do you REALLY think that abortion is murder?

Someone else will fill the gap, and in the meantime, Tiller the Killer has become a martyr. Don’t be surprised if Lifetime Television films a bio. This happens just as public opinion had turned in the pro-life movement’s corner.
