The truth of Calvinism is in front of your eyes Mack, but it is a very scary truth ..it might mean that God was really in charge ...and we can't have that can we ? . But that is another topic.
I tried to deal with the apostasy here ..and memory serves me that I was reported as disrupting the peace of the NET and was for a time banned from posting here.
This has been coming a long time Mack, but it seems that human pride says that somehow our personalities draw better that the means ordained by God .
If we are just a little nicer maybe THEN they will see the great reward of the gospel .
What the iggy affair shows is that one man committed to converting someone ..is more successful that a dozen Christians that are half heartedly committed.
Nice work malakhi !!
No despite your slander it was a calvinist, he had you guys pegged, all bark no bite. He had the guts to at least be a REAL calvinist not some comprising keyboard phoney.
Got the family convinced their one of the "elect" yet?

That's okay, Mack. Maybe you will open your mouth again, spout some of that wonderfully thought-through theology of yours, and swing those gates wide open again so more apostates can actually run through them.
After all, you did such a brilliant job helping Iggy.
The only thing true about calvinisn is that its not true.

Everybody is a victim, just where the hell have you been the last 6 months if you were so concerned about Stevens soul you should of been here EVERY damn day preaching the gospel to him.

What it shows is how much of a hypocrite you are, where the HELL were you the last 6 months?

So be careful, Mack. Don't go reading any books on that old, ragtag religion of the Reformation, like the 90-page classic, "The Five Points of Calvinism" by David Steele and Curtis Thomas.
You never know what God might have yet in store for you. 8~)
Remind me again how much you like people talking about your family on here?
Whats interesting is that it was not Calvinist doctrine that drove Steve to reject Christ was it ? Our hands are clean on this Mack, you need to look at your own . You believe that when people see your walk they will be attracted to Christ, you don't need no grace folks here , you guys have it all well in hand :>))))
A while back (when you asked) Snerkel and I came here and soon the cult folks stopped posting when backed into a corner,with persistent biblical questions. We did our bit, it was only up ti the rest of you to keep the wolf from the door .
Note to self: book shopping list (droooolll)
Prove it Mack. Prove that we puny little people are more powerful than the Most High. And please tell me where that is said. More likely answer is that we are unworthy sinners saved by Grace not merit.
Perhaps you should consult with RnMomof7 on that.
Somehow she believes that the discussion of the NES thread has thwarted the will of God concerning Stephen.

So you accuse us of trying to stem the tide by our lifestyles, ... while, simultaneously, you claim to have stemmed the tide by your persistence.
Which is it ... do you believe in the power of human effort or not ?
Good point Cindy. In the end I'm responsible for the decisions I make. Ya'll just relax. I'll take the rap. :-)
Prove it.
Read it for ypurself.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 ...
