And here are the fruits by which we know our "opponents": in my near year here on FR, every time I have seen a clearly lost soul posting on these boards, it has been the Calvinist who have been the ones to stand up and give the Word of God. It happened again over the last 2 days. Calvinists on thread preaching gospel, 2; all others combined, 0.
I am not ashamed our their Biblical doctrine. To say I am a Calvinist is to simply say "I believe the Biblical presentation of Predestination." Therefore, as a Biblical Predestinarian, i.e. Calvinist, I am not ashamed to be labeled with my brothers. And I am not ashamed of their witness of the Word to the lost. They truly do believe that the Word itself has Power. If I were you, I would be ashamed.
BTW, apart from myself, has anybody consistently called White Mountain to repent. Or do you believe that mormons are saved?
I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God for the salvation of everyone who believes: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile. - Romans 1:16
But Woody, the fact that you're standing on the street corner proclaiming how holy, how Biblical you are is exactly what I'm talking about. You can sling the scriptures with the best of them (so can Satan, by the way).
But Jesus said they would know we were His disciples by our love. That has not been evident on this thread.
I came on this thread hesistantly, not wishing to prove my point as much as to understand others. I shared openly and honestly.
Instead of hearing "now I will show you a more excellent way..."
What I got was, "you're an idiot if that's what you believe."
And when I question that, all any of you can respond with is "we're right because we know the Bible better and we witness more on computer forums and after all there are more of us."
I never met him(her) before this thread and did not know he was Mormon.
Let's cut to the chase. Instead of your chastising Ward, answer this question. Do YOU confront abusers or do YOU ignore them?
