Now how would a genuine newbie know that or even suspect that? Are you really a new freeper, or just a recycled previously banned freeper?

Maybe (s)he just lurked, lots of people do you know? Perhaps, it is experimental, because it seems to me that you are attempting to prove his point, Neener Boy.

Yes, no one really knows how long anyone has watched before posting. And, yes, I'd say that it is proving his point. Almost prophetic.

BTW, perhaps you might wish to comment on the portion of the book I have highlighted. It does seem to me that some of the Calvinist cites are not quite contextually fair, but it will take me a fair amount of time to work through all of the source citations.

It would be the least of the books problems, which is really frustrating. I do have some questions to the Calvinists in this area, but I am finding it nearly impossible to find a well written argument that demonstrates in what way Calvinism makes God the author of sin.

Your brother,
Christian.

Well apparently the mods made a determination that he was a previously banned poster has he has been banned once again. That is certainly not something that I could do, as I don't have access to the IP addresses as the mods do.

For the record I did not report him nor did I draw the attention of the mods to his posts. I will note, however that he did come out swinging claiming that: "Those in opposition to Calvinists do all they can to get Calvinists banned as soon as they can, which accounts for a lack of numbers." That did make me suspicious.

IMO the relative lack of numbers of protestant posters is due mainly to the fact that many Calvininsts have a tendency to ridicule and abuse non-Calvinist posters and that this causes many non-Calvinists to avoid the protestant threads. Further the number of posters interested in these topics has dwindled because too many Calvninsts have managed to get themselves banned and/or suspended for violation of FR rules.

IMO, if he were merely a lurker then he would obviously have observed that those in favor of Calvinism seem to do all that they can to get themselves banned and it has nothing to do with those who argue against the doctrines of Calvinism. Making wild accusations against entire groups of people on your first day as a poster is bound to get the attention of the mods. And apparently the poster was sucessful in that endeavor.

I strongly suspect that he was a recycled permanently banned freeper. I also suspect that there may be others on this thread.
