Geez! Give you guys just a little rope and it's all of a sudden lynch party time!

I had to leave for a few hours, and the other moderators have neither the time nor the inclination to do even the little background work I've done; in my absence it's easier for them to pull or lock a thread until I can review it.

On this one, though, I have to take a bit of the blame, even though in my Post #350 I did say I don't need answers to any of the above posted; I simply offer them as food for thought. 'Course, no one read that apparantly.

I will restore this thread if everyone will stay on the topic of the thread, assuming there's any interest left and anyone remembers what that topic is.

Isn't this thread about Calvinism v. non-Calvinism, like all the others? ;-)

***I don't need answers to any of the above posted; I simply offer them as food for thought***

Actually, I did read that. However, since #350 was to me and began by summarizing my views (***In other words, this fight will rage on as long as there's a Religion forum.***) in a way that were not my views, I did not want to leave the misrepresentation.

The first question implied that views do not change as a result of the discussions here (***Has anyone changed sides yet?***) which has not been the case.

In answering I was not attempting a flame. Your question I believe deserved answers if only to clarify some facts. They were good questions for which there were some answers.

Welcome back....

BTW, I appreciate locked versus pulled threads.
