An endless, frightening revolving door of salvation/condemnation/salvation/condemnation... As opposed to the frightening revolving door of doIbelieveEnough/dontIbelieveEnough/doI/dontI/doI/dontI ...
Someday, for better or for worse, you will know the truth.

No blasphemy. All who repent do so Which has zero relevance to Paul saying that God appeals through him. According to you, it's blasphemy when a Catholic priest says anything like that. When Paul says it, you change the subject.
You contradict yourself endlessly, not to mention contradicting Scripture and making false statements about Catholic belief.
What's really strange, though, is that you think we are in such terrible error, but you sprinkle "LOL" in your posts. Do you think our damnation is funny? Does it amuse you?

Except for the Scriptural error and misstatements of fact, sure, I suppose.

Oh, wait, all Calvinists are elect, I forgot. Someday, I want to meet a Calvinist with enough integrity to admit that he's a reprobate. Because, if _all_ Calvinists are really as elect as they say they are, then their salvation is absolutely by "works" -- the work in question being that of knowing the (allegedly) correct Calvinist doctrine.

Scriptural error from Dr. E.?
Please, sir, point any of them out to me. And remember, since you are saying SCRIPTURAL ERROR, use scripture to back you up.

Someday, I want to meet a Calvinist with enough integrity to admit that he's a reprobate. By the grace of God, I think you'll have a long wait.
Perhaps I've incorrectly assumed you know the defintion of "reprobate."
A reprobate is one who has not been named to be among God's family and who has not and who will not and who doesn't even want to receive God's grace through faith in Christ.
All who ask Christ for His salvation will receive it, as He has promised His "living water" to all who thirst.
The reprobate does not ask for Christ for salvation because he thinks he does not thirst. And if he does, he satisfies that thirst by other means.
On God's earth, there are only two types of people -- the reprobate who is condemned by the sin of his disbelief and the redeemed who is acquitted of his sins by Christ on the cross, and is thus saved by God's unmerited mercy through faith in Christ.
What Christian believer would ever call themselves a "reprobate?"

To be saved in Calvinism is to perform the act of becoming a Calvinist.

The Protestant believes in no "revolving door of salvation," because he knows Christ has already paid for all his sins on Calvary. Read Hebrews 10.
It's the RCC who preaches "you're in one day and you're out the next."
And that loop plays endless, not only UNTIL death, but almost laughably it supposedly continues even PAST death into the fiction of "purgatory" where the length of your time-out from God's presence after death is determined by your good works on earth and ludicrously, by the good works of others on your behalf!
Fables and lies, all of it.

Ping to 632 and 635.
It looks like our RC FRiends don't know the definition of "reprobate."

Like a dog that returns to his vomit is a fool who repeats his folly
Ergo, the Protestant churches sprung from vomit. Is that what you're saying?
