Congratulations. You have a firm mastery of a distorted charicature of Calvinism that bears little resemblence to what the Reformed faith actually believes and teaches.
Please accept this complimentary participation gift:
Please, Calvinism is for the weak-minded.
Whereas uninformed inflammatory comments bely an incredible deftness when it comes to civil conversation.
Seems to be a reasonable point to me. If everyone is already pre-elected, why evanglize? Please explain why it is wrong. Thanks.
Many Calvinists that I know are intellectually rigorous in their theology and deeply sincere in their faith. I have found, however, that many of them have simply not been exposed to catholic (Orthodox, Roman Catholic or Anglo-Catholic) theology but instead have been fed only a caricature of the same. I have seen a number of them move away from reformed theology several years after their reading lists have been expanded. I expect the same will occur for a subset of the reformed theology gang on FR who sincerely debate on these threads.
