Are you just being deliberately obtuse, or don't you get it? You know very well what I'm saying, and you also know that Calvinists don't believe that God is the originator and author of sin. You know that! You have a hatred in your heart for the Calvinist position that tells me that you've been burned by someone of the Calvinist persuasion, and now you're out to cause any Calvinist you meet as much trouble as you can. Is that what Jesus would do? Your posts back to us drip of hatred and strife. You aren't interested in debating or learning anything, you just want to disrupt. I can't stop you from doing so, but I can point it out when I see it.
Nice rant. But you don't know me well enough to level those charges. If I really wanted to disrupt, I assure you, you would know it. I have witnesses.
For the record, I wasn't burned by Calvinism. I had the good sense to get out. But I saw it destroy a young family. The wife, a new believer, was told her husband was not one of the elect. When they were having marital troubles, she wasn't counseled, just told she couldn't sing with the praise and worship team, so she left. They haven't been back in a church, any church in over four years. He forbids her to go or to take their two children.
But even that isn't the point.
I'm stuck on what Calvinism tells me. I'm sorry you don't like it. That's not my problem.
And yeah, Jesus pointed out the shortcomings of the religious leaders. They didn't like him either.
So if you can't post to me without being snippy, don't bother. I'm off to watch the war.
