Did Charles Manson have the spirit of God during his murders?

Sometimes all I can say is wow.

Do you know man is so flawed that he can REJECT the Spirit?

Was the Spirit ever in Manson at all?

You're basing your thinking on the idea that what we do matters. To the Calvinist, one can no more reject the Spirit (I stands for "Irresistable grace") than a rooster can not crow at dawn.

No, the Spirit was never in Manson.

You do realize that in Christian theology, and this is not just Calvinists, it only indwells Christians, right?

This isn't a tough one, nor a controversial issue.

The Spirit only comes to indwell believers. You only are choosing to assert othwerwise now because you know to say otherwise would destroy your position.
