"But I'm not a Calvinist."

No, but you are whiny and seem to know a lot about holes.

But typical. As soon as it goes successfully against certain pre-conceived notions, or the preferred whitewash of history --- the personal attacks begin.

You've spoken the truth -- therefore you will be attacked! Castigated, maligned, called a liar, ignorant, along with many other things. Just because you spoke the truth. My, my... how evil HATES the light of truth!

Flame away. It's true to form.

Oh, how true -- and literally so!!!! Old habits die hard with Papists.

Keep up the good work!

Happy Presbyterian Rebellion Day, everybody!

It sure does look like there was a lot of Presbyterian rebellion going on:

I'd rebel too based on what they teach.

I don't think the endorsement of homo pastors or the ordination of females is funny; but to each his own.

Huh? to each his own? That ain't my pile of garbage. Drag it back where it came from.

That "garbage" came from Presbyterianism. You were the one celebrating Presbyterian rebellion in your post #134.

That looks just like the wiring diagram on the back of my old refrigerator. No coincidence that it too doesn’t do more than blow hot air.

The Presbyterian Rebellion that this thread was originally about, was rebellion against the claims of power of an English king.

If that doesn't set right with you, go back to Europe and find some monarch's feet to cozy up to. Go worship and serve some man who claims god died and left him in charge.

No, thanks. I'm not Presbyterian.

Let's review, shall we?

Your comment makes zero sense, in light of the above.

Calvin didn't send any folks to convert folks outside Europe did he?

Brazil.

While you have added some more gratuitous bones of contention here, you still haven't explained why, if "Calvinists didn't believe in missionary work", or as you put it, "Calvinism is incompatible with missionary work", the particular Calvinists I listed in post #28 engaged in the extensive missionary work that they did.

Cordially,

Well, sure. I was actually responding to your comment about worship, as was copied in my post. Now you're trying to do switch.

Maybe there's a 3rd grader out there who didn't notice your juvenile tactic and fell for it. But good try.

Worship? Obviously, the Presbyterians of American Revolutionary times (enough of them to count, anyway) didn't worship at any king's feet, particularly the English one, that is for certain. If that's what you mean with your mention of some comment of "worship" I alleged made.

Otherwise, you made a joke. I laughed at your added footnote. That was the joke. But then you turn, and say, "to each his own"?

Whatever. The juvenile tactics are all your own. More of the typical "projection" another jack-wagon here attempted to subject me to, it appears.

Go run along now, and kiss some man's ring.

So, who do you think did worship at a King's feet?

If that's what you mean with your mention of some comment of "worship" I alleged made.

There's no "alleged" about it. Here's what you said "Go worship and serve some man who claims god died and left him in charge". And that's what I responded to, not the paragraph you tried to substitute.

I laughed at your added footnote. That was the joke. But then you turn, and say, "to each his own"?

You may laugh about their teachings. I don't think it's a laughing matter.

The juvenile tactics are all your own.

But I'm not the one playing the substitution game and trying to make it look like that was what I was addressing.

More of the typical "projection" another jack-wagon here attempted to subject me to, it appears.

The jack-wagon who did the projection wasn't me. You are the one who made an attempt to make it look like I was responding to something else.

Go run along now, and kiss some man's ring.

I fully understand that in today's culture it is beyond some to show respect to others. Let me know how that works out for you if you ever go to a court of law.

Certainly not the Presbyterians of American Revolutionary times --- which is what made your statement non-nonsensical. Can you see the logic of that--now?

You answered, "but I'm not a Presbyterian". What sense does that make? What sense COULD it make??? Explain THAT before you keep telling me I'm the one "shifting" things. You're not making sense...

Oh really? What have you done but substitute from near the very beginning of this conversation?

You know, like claiming I was laughing "at their teachings" when it was your footnote that was found humorous. You've twice now shifted my words into what you must have wished I had said.

You speak of respect, but give none while expecting plenty. Keep twisting things to justify your own prejudices, and you'll find your own comeuppance long before you reach any courtroom.

There is no "logic of that", since "that" is not what I responded to. I responded to your statement about worship. There was no mention of a King or his feet in the statement I was responding to.

You answered, "but I'm not a Presbyterian". What sense does that make?

Perfect sense since I'm not Presbyterian.

What have you done but substitute from near the very beginning of this conversation?

I believe it was you that tried to change the statement to which I was responding. Are you now denying that?

You know, like claiming I was laughing "at their teachings" when it was your footnote that was found humorous.

My "footnote" was about their teachings. I don't think they're funny.

You've twice now shifted my words into what you must have wished I had said.

I didn't "wish" anything. I responded to what you posted. But you did try to make it look like I was responding to something I wasn't.

You speak of respect, but give none while expecting plenty.

Don't let your imagination get the best of you, now and confuse me with yourself.

Keep twisting things to justify your own prejudices

The twisting was all of your own doing, but I can understand why you would want to try to divert the accusation over to someone else.

you'll find your own comeuppance

Your empty threats mean nothing to me.

Listen, I apologize if your feelings have been hurt, but keep in mind that open threads are for the grownups. You might fare better on the caucus or ecumenical threads.

BD (on 6th of July): "happy presbyterian rebellion day, everybody"

ok.... 6th of July is your cult's day. Good. The rest of America celebrates the 4th as Independence day and your cult celebrates the 6th as it's rebellion against God day...

your post 28 is incorrect — as I pointed out clearly, the second is utterly false, Calvin did not evangelize France — that was done by Remigius in 496 AD — are you saying that France was not Christian until Cauvin popped up?

your post 28 is incorrect on the 3rd point, as you yourself acknowledged —> Calvin did NOT sent out more missionaries than the BAptist, Pentecostals, Methodists of today.
