Consider David.
When you really think about it, he was Michael Corleone in a shepherd suit. Everything in his personal life, family life, and public life wasn't worth spit. He was a great warrior 'til he hit mid-life crisis time, but even that wasn't him.
Like he says, "Blessed is the man whose sins are forgiven..."
I'll let everyone else attempt this saintliness gig on their own.
I am definitely a Christian life Calvinist. Calvin nails Romans 7. Wesley and Arminius blew it.

Alright, step back from the computer and take a deep breath. I know how excited it is when the veil is removed and the light comes on. But remember God always knew that you were "definitely a Christian life Calvinist" but He was waiting for just the right time to let the world know so that Dr. E. would not have a fainting spell or heart palpitations. The fun part of predestination is that all of His plans and purposes are exciting and adventurous to us but carefully controlled by His omniscience and omnipotence so that nothing is out of His control or can go awry. Now carefully go back to the key board and don't post the same thing for the fourth time and don't second guess what you wrote. We heard you already.
