Shhhh! You blow my cover and I'll never convert these guys! Good thing they're all sleeping... I'm going to ping the moderator and ask him to delete both of our posts. :-)
I just hope when he finally decides to come out he isn't carrying a tulip :')
Highly unlikely
Yeah, thats the guy, he had a bucket full b@lls and was fun to watch :)
Most of the Calvinists disagreed with him and believed, like John Calvin, who had lost a child in infancy, that God's mercy covers the children of the elect.
Well now ain't that special, I bet it covers teenage calvinists kids too! Sorry Doc but don't you see how phony this comes across?
Warmoose was banned. 8~(
Yeah I watched him flame out.

It is a really hard thing (esp in this medium where sarcasm sure does not work well: trust me here I got in all sorts of trouble with that) to draw a line between being friendly and enabling nonbelievers. I did get drawn into a really bad situation back when (FR mail for details) because nobody bothered to explain to me What the heck following Jesus meant, they were too busy "naming and claiming" or being "seeker sensitive" to provide us really dumb (seriously) baby Christians with enough information to protect them from the wolves (Mat 24:24) And that is enough to make me wary of playing with heretics. Does not mean I live in the Christian Ghetto but discernment is needed. Finding the balance is not always easy or pleasant but it can be vital for the vulnerable.
Only appears to be "talking around" to you. I've addressed every point. YHWH is my Savior. That's not enough for you? I'm surprised you want me to use words that would serve to provoke and offend.
They might read well to you. I read right thru them.
But I sure hope teenagers are covered by the Covenant, since I have two who need as much help as they can get.
I'm trying to figure out how to homeschool them for college.
It's the lampshades on our heads. <<<[8~)
G-d/YHWH uses all type of people. As Dave has pointed out, YHWH even uses pedophile priests.
I love it when someone plays the "humility" card.
What's more "humble?" Thinking you contributed to your own salvation because you chose wisely? Thinking you were smarter than others? More holy than others? More insightful, obedient, righteous or simply luckier than others?
This is what Roman Catholics believe, that every time they say the Rosary they're increasing their portion of God's grace and swaying His opinion to their side.
Or does it seem prudent and faithful to Scripture to say I had nothing to do with my salvation because salvation is a gift from God given at His own good pleasure in His own time for His own reasons according to His mercy?
"And when the Gentiles heard this, they were glad and glorified the word of the Lord; and as many as were ordained to eternal life believed." - Acts 13:48
"Faith alone" was the standard of the Reformation.
Arminians need to return to Geneva and read up on why we're not all Romanists today.
