Thanks, GPH.

Here’s some verses and arguments against Calvinism:

I chose mostly non-Catholic sources on purpose, but I can’t vouch for them. :)
I doubt any will change your mind, maybe they’ll help you sharpen your sword anyway?

These arguments have gone on for a very long time; I doubt they will ever end. It’s a basic conundrum bordering on paradox. The opposing sides can lob verses at each other without end or resolution.

We must have some basis to even begin to judge this debate. For me it is God as He has let me know Him. I don’t see Him in the pure Calvinist theology.

Maybe it is different for you, I can’t say.

But I don’t want to fight about it. I probably should not have engaged you. I was trying to clarify the Catholic view that I thought was not clear - and here I am posting verse links .:)

I tend to jump in a defend the Church because the Church has been so good to me, I very likely would not be here without it.

So I apologize if I gave the impression I was hankering for a really good in depth argument or fight.

anyway... thanks very much and may God bless you and yours...

Ha! I do not argue with websites, and I especially don’t waste my time reading a whole bunch of them. I’ve seen it all already. Argue with me directly, if you have the skill and knowledge to do so. You’re free to use and quote those websites to buttress your arguments, of course.

I’m not convinced that the Romans are able to make sustained arguments from the scripture on these matters.

“So I apologize if I gave the impression I was hankering for a really good in depth argument or fight.”

You never gave that impression. I was quite positive the whole time that I would only get surface level responses. I was, however, trying to goad you into an in depth argument.
