In the actual outworking of things, many of the neeners (no list) are far more predestinarian than the grpl (big list).

I mean Blue-D is almost a grpl and they don't even know it. (Sorry for outing you ole buddy.)

And this nonsense about the world gettin' gooder 'n' gooder does not sound like it's working with totally depraved building blocks, does it?

But, along comes the dispensational neererites saying, "depraved people will live in a depraved world".....and we're the ones who get yelled at.

It makes me proud to be a double-predestination, quarter-pelagian, fundamental, dispensational calvinist in the tradition of arminius.

You should be ashamed to call yourself a "quarter-Pelagian" and there is no such things as an Arminian Calvinist.

That's like saying you're a Democrat Republican.

Pick one. They are different.

Well, if things are getting progressively better then I guess we can do away with the Armageddon battle with all of its gore and the final annhilation of Satan and his cronies just before the great judgment seat. Whew, I can't bear to watch Steven King movies let alone the violence in Revelation, what with vultures eating all the enemy armies. Boy am I glad things are getting better. Now if only the NEA, the ACLU, the NCC, Islam, China, Korea, AIDS, etc knew about this. Of course, there is that little cryptic phrase in Rev. 16:17; "it is done!" I don't think He is saying "finally, man has brought in the Kingdom of God, let's go home"
