This has gotten completely STUPID. Scriptures are GIVEN and they are ignored by the very people who “claim” their faith is based on the bible. The extra biblical sources are BY PEOPLE WHO WERE TAUGHT ABOUT CHRIST BY THE APOSTLES.

CALVIN ISN’T MENTIONED IN THE BIBLE SO NOTHING HE SAYS CAN BE TRUE... THAT SEEMS TO BE YOUR STANDARD.

SOME OF THE CALVINISTS NEED TO READ THE BEATITUDES AND THE GREAT COMMISSION. The OSAS will never do that.

I hear you.

[Dr. Eckleburg]

SOME OF THE CALVINISTS NEED TO READ THE BEATITUDES AND THE GREAT COMMISSION.

The Beatitudes were addressed to believers. Christ is telling men who believe in Him how they will live their lives.

The Beatitudes say nothing about HOW and WHY men are saved. Thus the Beatitudes are not the Gospel. Keep reading the Bible and learn what the Gospel is.

And again, the Great Commission is given to all believers - to preach the Gospel, confident that those given ears to hear by God will respond in saving faith.

The Beatitudes tell men HOW to live a Christian life, not WHY they live by the power of God. For that, we look elsewhere in the Scriptures.
