Genesis 2:16-17 And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, "Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat; but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it. For in the day that thou eatest thereof, thou shalt surely die."

Conclusion; man is spiritually dead. He needs to be reborn. How does a dead man breath life into himself?

How does a dead man breath life into himself?

Point 1: This is a political page, not a theology page.

Point 2: A tirade against Calvinism is a waste of time since few follow it any more.

Point 3: The bloated, flowery language of the article gaurantees that few will read it. Such writing is more about the author's enormous ego than practical evangelism. Get a book by Max Lucado, and find out how to write prose that people will actually read.

Good stuff, Woody. The difference between Reformed Chrisitanity and others, as you point out, is that Calvinists profess that man is TOTALLY DEAD in sin, like a corpse, while other falsely teach that man is just sick.

Only Christ, our Lord, can revive a dead man. And this is exactly the power of the Resurrection.

One poster said "few follow Calvin anymore, anyway".

As if "Majoritarianism" is Biblical! LOL.

The Remnant has always been "the few".

We are all born dead. Letting the ego die is the quickest way to begin living.
