Alternating telling everyone how everyone is loved by God with hurling insults at me? Does that seem consistent?

I dunno, SD. I've always considered hurling insults at you to be consistent with being loving by God.

It's called being in a state of grace.

I'm pretty sure it was Texas.

Same thing.

And I thought this thread almost dead :') The Calvinists have revived it) As one of neither do you find it as ironic as I do that the Calvinists who believe in predestination and nothing they do will make a difference are giving him hell whereas a lot of the rest of the us who believe in free will seem to feel that we have done all we can and that God's will, will be done?

Cindy i think if you look around the OLD Fr religion forum, you will find it IS THE CALVINISTS that have the most passion for the Gospel and are the least likely to compromise it.

Look and see how often the "arminians" have allowed an opportunity to present the gospel pass, when the calvinist did it instead .

All your post shows is that you do not understand Calvinism and the passion for the gospel it gives.

The "free will " people on this thread should be hanging their collective heads in shame.

You chased off the calvinists as somehow "dangerous" to the precious thread and cheered when we went .

Then you all went about the business of talking cars and movies and making fellowship with darkness contrary to the gospel . So am I surprised that you have lost more Christians than you have converted...nope not one bit.

The problem is that you all thought that playing nice and friendship would convert. That is not what the gospel says ...but for some reason Arminians never give up hope that their personalities or their walk will save .

Not yet. Wanna come down and join me? ;o)

Uh Oh.

Cindy - You still got that hiddey hole prepared?

I've been here plenty long and that has NOT been my experience. You cannot question the "passion for the Gospel" of the Cindys and the MackBeckyS, the Kevins, or dozens of others here without restricting "the gospel" to a "so narrow minded you can seee though a keyhole with both eyes at the same time" definition of the term.

Passion for conflict (for good or bad)? They can take the cake.

I ain't a calvinist or an arminians, I'm a Biblicist hows that for #30,001? :)

I have not wavered in the message of the true gospel to ANYONE here and have plenty of passion for the truth, put them rocks down Mom, remember the last time me and you got into this? :)

I think we thought playing nice and friendship would be nice and friendly.

God takes care of conversion, remember? We can witness to our understanding of truth when it is appropriate. But we need not only witness and do so regardless of its appropriateness or tact.

After all, I'm not trying to deflect attention away from Iggy and make you the subject of the current conversation, am I?

You certainly seem fine with casting aspersions on Steven for the change in his beliefs. I'm trying to evaluate your qualification to pass judgment on the consistency of other people's convictions.

Given your lack of responsiveness, I can only conclude that an honest answer would be embarrassing to you.

[RnMomof7]

Well as Grandma said the proof is in the pudding .

So haw many poster on the NES have repented and accepted Christ as their Savior as a result of all that passion ?



BTW
Kevin is a Calvinist ...

I'm sure a review of your posts today would find no hurling of insults. Right?

[malakhi]

and making fellowship with darkness contrary to the gospel

Yet here you are, "making fellowship with darkness".

[RnMomof7]

Mack I have never doubted your love of Christ or the gospel. That is not the issue.

I just ask you to look at the "fruit" of this thread. Would iggy have forsaken Christ were it not for this thread? I wonder. How many have come to know Christ because of it?

This thread say friendship trumps the gospel ... and in your heart I think you know that is true.

That is EXACTLY why Paul warns the light has NO fellowship with the darkness..

Mat 21:19 And when he saw a fig tree in the way, he came to it, and found nothing thereon, but leaves only, and said unto it, Let no fruit grow on thee henceforward for ever. And presently the fig tree withered away.

So haw many poster on the NES have repented and accepted Christ as their Savior as a result of all that passion ?

Every day, mom ... every day. :o)

[al_c]

Would iggy have forsaken Christ were it not for this thread?

Seems to me that he was already on his way to his current beliefs even without this thread. (Correct me if I'm wrong, Steven.)

Anyone out there wanna answer this one for mom? Ping your lists, everybody.

[CindyDawg]

see how often the "arminians" have allowed an opportunity to present the gospel pass, when the calvinist did it instead .

Not saying yall haven't but has anyone been saved off of any of these threads.

All your post shows is that you do not understand Calvinism and the passion for the gospel it gives.

I though my post showed that I clearly don't understand

The "free will " people on this thread should be hanging their collective heads in shame.

What do I have to be ashamed of? I witnessed (many xs). People are responsible for their own actions.

You chased off the calvinists as somehow "dangerous" to the precious thread and cheered when we went

I did? Some I like, some I don't. Some bore me. I prefer to look at the individual, not the label. Have I ever been rude to you? I don't think so but if you feel I owe you an apology it's yours

Then you all went about the business of talking cars and movies and making fellowship with darkness contrary to the gospel . So am I surprised that you have lost more Christians than you have converted...nope not one bit.

No movies? You too?:') Throw me some scripture on this stuff my way please. Just a little at a x though. I'm only good for about one paragraph and then I go scrolling to see what everyone else talking about :')

The problem is that you all thought that playing nice and friendship would convert. That is not what the gospel says ...but for some reason Arminians never give up hope that their personalities or their walk will save .

More scripture please where we aren't supposed to be nice and friendly when witnessing. Someone comes screaming in my face and they have lost me. If they talk down to me I ignore them.
