So... when you believe or quote a passage of scripture... let’s say John 3:16, then it’s only your opinion that Christ said that if we believe in Him we will have everlasting life? That is opinion?

Odd that one of the harpy followers would bring up the words of Jesus; and especially this verse which is the promise that Jesus extends to all men. I thought that you guys preached the gospel of Paul and rejected the Gospel of Jesus as for the Jews only; and that salvation was only for predetermined men, and bulk of humanity, according to the Calvinist God, can just go to hell. Can you expand on this seeming lack of consistency? Or haven't the Calvinist lessons taken? Is the Calvinist load too heavy?

If God says it, it IS. No opinion about it at all. When God tells us we are to have no other gods before Him, is it a suggestion, or a command? Doesn’t that rate as fact?

Jesus says that all men will be Judged by their deeds and their salvation will be rendered to them accordingly. Do you believe in that? Paul says it too, but if you are a Christian, you hold the words of God in higher esteem than words of bishops of the Church, right?

If Christ teaches us to pray to the Father, does that mean it’s an opinion only?

Are you one that believes that one must ONLY pray to the Father? Do you pray in Jesus' Name only? Is it blasphemy to pray to Jesus or the Holy Spirit? Where does your doctrine come from? What is the mechanism by which it has been generated which makes it different from Christian beliefs?

And of course, the demigod J. Gresham Machen understood his followers very well:

But never fear, we have 83 year old busybody females that have no hesitation about instructing men in their faith, regardless of how their god Paul proscribes such deeds:

Isn't it strange that these folks say that Christ came only for a few? They deny Christ's very words

Maybe it's a question to ask the PCA, not PCA Gamcock as well?
