Why do the details matter? It was Absolutely Predestined.

I think it is very, very interesting that in the past 10 years, historians and school teachers have decided that it's time to disparage Calvinists in their lectures. When I was younger, Calvinists were barely mentioned as such.
Thngs are gonna get even more interesting soon.
Larson (creator of BG) was LDS. Yes, BG was our evil plan to brainwash you all and take over the world. Given that you still remember this stuff proves that it worked to a minor extent. ;-)
on top of that your a snob for making fun of my dyslexic! but I would expect that When I hit a nerve!
that was really uncalled for.
apologize now !
The most likely explanation for your writing is garden-variety illiteracy or alcohol.
I have had learning diablilies all of my life and struggled with it I so my grammar has suffered greatly. I don't drink and somedays are better than others. It been my affliction all of my life and even those I am very intelligent I had to take low paying jobs for be people would judge me like you do. My folks was not a ware of dyslexia. I discovered this when I was in my twenty for I had trouble reading, a great memory but I have blind spots and a lazy eye.
I was learning about nutrition and wanted to read on it and it was hard for I would fall asleep but as time gone by I was able to over come a lot.
Now days this is common knowledge, but the wrong habits and damage is done.
I could had a career singing opera if it wasn't for this inconsistentcy and unpredictable flair up of this thing. its really hard for me to prove read for it in my mind, and not on the paper. some times you will see words that you have to omit for I thinking a couple of ways how to phrase something and words will be left over from a way I orginal was going to phrase something and re thought but forgot to omit unnecessary words.
THANK YOU STEVE FOR YOUR SUPPORT
rather, you have our sympathies
Anyway, what I said is the absolute truth, and I will say it again and again and again and again! Your refusal to accept this shows that you only want to serve the god of your mind, not the Revealed LORD of the Bible.
Yes, God preselects some and passes by the rest. What's so hard to understand about that?
God chooses, not man. The natural man is completely incapable of choosing God. Man simply can't. The Bible teaches this over and over and over again. Yet you continue to miss it. Why is that?
Get it, learn it, love it, live it. Your statement about the so-called "clarity" of my statement only shows that you haven't been truly paying attention to what RnMomof7, Jean Chauvin, OrthodoxPresbyterian, Jerry_M, CCWoody, drstevej, Dr. Eckleburg, theAmbassador, myself, and others have been saying all along.
Here, let's see if I can make this point even more clear:
- All of mankind was condemned to hell in the loins on Adam, the first man, because he sinned against God.
- Since Adam, ALL of mankind has been born in sin and iniquity. We are ALL transgressors from the womb and by nature rebels against the Father.
- ALL of us deserve hell. NONE of us deserve Heaven. No, not one.
- God chose those who He would save from the foundation of the world without any imput from man nor with man's permission. The decision as to who was chosen rests solely with God, and man has absolutely nothing to say about it.
- God is All-Powerful and Self-Sustaining. We need Him; He could do without us.
- God owed no man anything at all. The simple fact that He redeemed even one shows His true mercy. Remember, He didn't have to do it.
- All of those predestined God has given to Christ, and all of these shall come to Jesus. Jesus will lose not one.
- Christ only died for the elect. Period. End of story. If a man goes to hell, Christ didn't die for him. If a man enters Heaven, Christ died for him.
Now, a God whose Will can be thwarted by man is not a God worth serving. He's either Omnipotent, or He isn't. There is absolutely no middle-ground on this point.
Also, this is NOT a so-called "Calvinist belief." It is the unadulterated, undiluted, pure Word of God. It's the truth, whether you like it or not. All I can say about the Will of God, and all that it entails is, " Even so, Father: for so it seemed good in thy sight."
Now, will you denounce the words of Hank? Yes or no?
Don't bother with a response to me unless you answer that up or down with an unqualified "yes" or "no." It's not unlike those with this mindset to be fascinated with death. There was even one in your camp who said that CCWoody was supposed to kill me on sight if we ever met, and has not apologized yet.
