My father & pastor used to do the same thing to me all the time in childhood.
Nakatu, they are carrying a disagreement from a previous thread onto this thread. It was among the first questions asked, even though it had nothing to do with this thread.
You are precisely correct. I'm a conservative, evangelical Christian and have been since Jesus found me in 1972. I'm a believer in a real resurrection, an inspired scripture, and a real return of the Savior.
But because I argue against their brand of calvinism, which I don't accept in any brand, they label me as "under the influence of satan."
See post #52. There is preserved a description of other calvinists who thought a man (Servetus) was "influenced by satan." Their arguments have failed, so now they insinuate and attack. It's truly sad.
I am constantly aware of the potential for satanic deception in my own life, and care enough for my brother that I don't want him to be ignorant of the possibility.
