I realize your church has a long history of just making stuff up, but you should try to at least look like your beliefs are Scripturally-sound.
Cor. 3:6-7, “I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase. So then neither is he that planteth any thing, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase.”
My point is that under a predeterministic belief, then there is no point to anything that I do or don’t do. The Calvin sermon couldn’t explain why anyone on the list, or off, should actually do anything other than what he or she wants. I’d challenge you to go back and read it yourself. He’s painted himself into a theological corner and cannot get out.
And nobody here has yet been able to explain it either.
I’m still trying to catch up, but what’s the deal with the poster who is chasing around after you?
