Before this is finished, God will have us being friends.
I thank you for standing up for the literal interpretation of any portion of scripture, even if I disagree with your interpretation. I pray that God always force me to look at what he says rather than to see what he says through any lens of my own philosophy or theology.
An interesting point for you to ponder here. Most of us have been where you are. I certainly started out as a "Calminian" or "One pointer" in that I have always affirmed eternal security as a Baptist. However, it was my continued study of the words of Scripture itself that led me to where I am today. I truly believe that all of us are Arminian at conversion, at least this is what I have seen demonstated in my life and the lives of many others. I didn't become a Calvinist by reading Calvin, I became a Calvinist by reading Scripture.
Brothers aren't always on the friendliest of terms. However most brothers, even in a strained relationship, will defend to the death their brother from an outsider. Isn't that right, brother?
