Gotta love that Calvinist attitude that says "to hell with the rest of the planet, as long as I get in."
Sorry if you see that as a flame Dr. E. But that's always how your posts read to me.
Where do I say I know who "gets in?" Only God knows that. And I have always maintained that IMO anyone who follows Christ as their Lord and Savior, and lives a life reflecting God's glory is most likely saved.
Your post was rude and in error.
Same as it ever was. And life goes on.
I could care less if I'm a puppet or not, the only one to get in or not....all I care about is being biblical in what I teach. I don't think tulip is correct.
Corin are looking to start a flame war?
That is not what she said.
It does not matter why a man says no..only that he does. You say that the man choose God..We say that the sovereign God has the right to choose men ..either way it is still that same number .
The issue is the expressed distaste for the idea that God might choose you..it is so awful a fate (eternity with God) that one can not understand how anyone but a puppet could respond with joy.
