Kosta. You're irritating me. "THAT'S NOT CALVINISM" "HOW DARE YOU QUOTE CALVIN OR CALVINISTS"

You seem to have in your head what "Calvinism" is. If a quote from Calvin directly contradicts that, you reject Calvin in favor of that conception in your head. If I quote a Calvinist like Sproul who is explicitly explaining a doctrine, you reject it as well. You aren't really interested in what Calvinists TRULY believe. You're just interested in constructing your straw men with which to try to burn us. As long as this is your attitude, I don't know the conversation persists since you have your mind closed to what our true beliefs are.

Kosta. You're irritating me.

The feeling is mutual, Blogger.

"HOW DARE YOU QUOTE CALVIN OR CALVINISTS"

Are those my quotes you are imputing? I can't think of as reason why you could not (let alone dare not) quote John Calvin!

If I quote a Calvinist like Sproul who is explicitly explaining a doctrine, you reject it as well.

Blogger, I don't reject Calvin, I reject Protestantsim, period, no matter what flavor.

I merely observed that what you call "Calvinism" is not what other TULIPs call "Calvinism" on this Forum. Please take that up with them, not me.

They explicitly deny free will, even mock it. Your statement stood out in such sharp contrast to theirs that I had to make a remark, but that remakr was intended only to move you to discuss this with them, not me.

You're just interested in constructing your straw men with which to try to burn us

LOL!!! I have no desire to burn anyone. You are reading my mind and my intention. That's really an ad hominem.
