It's a lovely 75 degrees today.)


Bite me! We will be lucky to get much over freezing.

Get better.

[Calvinist_Dark_Lord]

"When that which professes to be the Word of God is acknowledged to be so, no person, unless devoid of common sense and the feelings of a man, will have the desperate hardihood to refuse credit to the speaker."
Emphasis added by Calvinist_Dark_Lord

A logical progression has been postulated so far in the writings.

1)God gave revelation of Himself to all men

A) Directly in the mind (immediate imputation)
B) Through the media of the Creation

2) Some men can and do suppress the knowlege that they have, and are therefore condemned for rejecting what they know to be true
3) Other men accept the recieved knowlege of God, yet still stand condemned, because this knowlege is not sufficient for the purpose of salvation.
4) This class of men who accept the implanted knowledge need further revelation from God for the purpose of salvation.
5) Man must acknowlege that the bible is that further revelation of God.
6) When or After it is acknowleged as God's revelation, men do not reject it unless they are mentally or emotionally unstable.

i wonder just what Calvin means by the term "refuse credit".
