Who is “us” and wherein have I offended “us”?

“Us”, who does the article misrepsented.

I told you that your arguments against Calvinism were lame. The fact is that you build straw men against Calvinism and then knock them down. Nobody is impressed.

All I have done is bring out the teachings of Calvin and ask questions like why there is a difference in the way one group oa Calvinists say one thing and why does another group of Calvinists say it means something else and does that make the other group wrong. No straw man, just want to know witch one of you has the true right to say he is right.

Don’t feel bad, I’ve been guilty of using those same silly arguments against Calvinism. They are not good arguments. You can have honest disagreements with Calvinism without misrepresenting what they believe. Try it sometime

I have not brought up any arguments against Calvinism, I just put forth your words and ask questions about them.

Tell me, do you think God is the ultimate determiner of who is or is not going to be saved?

If so, when did he make that determination?

If you mean did he determine who will be saved from the sins of Adam, yes. He did it before people came to this earth.

ooooooooooooooo

If you have any thing to add to the above, please do.

And, answer my repeated question to you, in a separate posting, as if it is another thread.

As stated before;

Please list the denominations you believe to be wrong because they do not understand the words of God in the Bible like you do. I told my cats that they get half my steak dinner, if you had the fortitude to offend others, like you offend us. Will you see that they get their stake?

Did Christ die for YOUR sins, or did he die for the sins of Adam?

I'm confused. Is there a difference between being saved from the sins of Adam and your own sins?

The bible states that it is by grace we have been saved through faith and not of works. Have you been saved?

What have you been saved from?

I told my cats that they get half my steak dinner, if you had the fortitude to offend others, like you offend us. Will you see that they get their stake?

Who are the "us" that I have offended? And who are the "others" that you would like for me to offend?
