Good one, Mom! Spurgeon rocks, but will this sink in to the usual suspects? Here is what Calvinists believe, plain and simple! Bopper

Calvinists do not believe words have meaning either. 4) CALVINISTS DO BELIEVE THAT ALL MEN ARE DUTY BOUND TO REPENT AND BELIEVE THE GOSPEL:

Can all men repent and believe?

They can't?

Why not?

Oh, only those whom God chose can!

So,what is this duty bound nonsense!

Wasn't you who was defending the post on non-elect infants being damned! Now, you are going the all the infants are elect route?

You can print all the double-talk you want, Calvinism comes down to an essential point, God chose some for heaven and the rest for hell-period.

All the fancy footwork in the world cannot the fact that Calvinism makes God the author of sin, death and hell, arbitrary in His choice of those who whom He chose to save, and deceptive in His scriptures on what He really wants.

You were correct about one thing, it was a post with very little truth

Nice job, Mom. This describes what is known as Calvinism very well.

I believe that this will have no effect on the scoffers. Man's vanity refuses to allow God to be God. It also prevents man from admitting being wrong.

More of the same is one the way, trust me.

Terry you got something that wrigley,drstevej,woody nor do I recall any other Calvinist never got the ones I heard have renouce it that! (WELL BLESSING TO YOU TERRY!) -

I can recall the very day and hour when I first received those truths in my own soul - when they were, as John Bunyan says, burned into my heart as with a hot iron, and I can recollect how I felt that I had grown on a sudden from a babe into a man

According to Calvinist doctrine I was damned to hell before I was even born. Question for the calvinists, if y'all are correct why should I give a rat's ass what God wants, thinks, demands, etc? If calvinism is indeed the truth then what incentive do I have to not just walk up to any Christian I see and put a bullet or two through their head, burn down every church I can and do wtf I feel like doing? In fact, what incentive is there for the 95% of the population that isn't saved to not abandon all organized religion for the CoS's brand of Satanism and begin a campaign of genocide against the remaining Christians and then take a page from 1984 by removing all traces of Christianity from history? It is highly possible for us to do that if you are correct and the majority would be quite willing to abandon its values for a Hitler-type figure just to spite God if y'all are correct. But then again Calvinism is full of $hit. Its logical implications for His nature are too sickening to be real.
