I almost posted this to another forum until I read this:
It has also been suggested, that Mr. Wesley is a very laborious man: not more laborious, I presume, than a certain active being, who is said to go to and fro in the earth, and walk up and down in it:2 nor yet more laborious, I should imagine, than certain ancient Sectarians, concerning whom it was long ago said, Woe unto you Scribes, hypocrites; for ye compass sea and land to make one proselyte:
I cannot support anyone who would compare John Wesley to Satan. How shameful.
Oh, that Calvinists might have the theology of a Calvin and the heart of a Whitfield.
Is it any less shameful, or more charitable, to compare the Pope to Satan?
Ps 133:1. John 17:20-23. 1 Cor 1:10.
Division and discord displease God.
Consider whether the sort of "unity" displayed on this thread is really the unity for which Christ prayed in John 17.
I agree. I love both Mr. Wesleys and consider them great examples of Christian faith and life.
