CD, if I misconstrued what you said in your post, then I am sorry. But it read to me like you thought that the Non-Calvinists had given up on II. That was before you posted about praying for him, which I do not think is nothing.

Calvinists care about people's souls, believe it or not. I am not ready to give up on II. Does that mean I don't believe in God's Sovereignty anymore? No, it doesn't. What it does mean is that I am a finite creature and cannot see the end from the beginning like God does. That said I still pray that God will reach down and remove the scales from II's eyes like He did for Saul.

We care because we DON'T know what God has decided for II. Only He does. So until He cares to reveal Himself I will hold out hope that our God will work a great work in II's life.

Don't think so. see #1715. I was just making a comment that about a year ago a lot of us were very intense in our posts about Stevens "first announcement". How many of the people here have stayed the course and tried to reason with him? Today is a very sad day for me (even though I was expecting it). Suddenly the calvary arrives. I was just asking why? For the kill or to change his mind. JMO but it seems like a game to some (you and RN excluded).

On this thread we have "Christians" who have converted from Catholicism to Protestantism, Protestantism to Catholicism, Catholicism to, oh dred - Biblical Unitarianism, and even more dred, to Judaism. God loves us all. Each and every one of us.

II loves the same God as you all do and the same God loves him. My heartfelt prayers for peace and happiness to II.
