Does it really matter if you're a Calvinist?

Do you remember your first reply to me? You said, "Another stupid topic designed around creating competition in the two Theological camps.... IE another Urinating Contest."
Ever since then you have added nothing to our discussions, but have only served to cause that which you first accused me of causing. Demeaning and patronizing words only reveal your own moral and spiritual deficiencies.
This question regarding the practical effects of non-Calvinism in a Calvinistic framework is a very well known and well advanced subject of discussion in the scholastic circles. The fact you find it funny only reveals your lack of knowledge and scholarly reason with regard to the subject matter at hand.
'Tis better to be silent and be thought a fool, than to speak and remove all doubt.'
Naaa, just gettin warmed up!
Why no, it doesn't REALLY matter if one wants to believe a lie. Even though Satan is the father of lies, we can still teach them. It's all good.
I see, so every who is not a calvinist has satan as their father. You are aware of the BB rules, right?

But why do I want to believe this "lie?" Didn't God determine my desires and thus my choice to be non-Calvinistic?
Come on Aaron...dont you feel just a little like a puppet? :wavey:
Oh the irony given the fact that is what your very comment is.
Keep going.....dieing to find out. LOL:thumbs:
Why do you believe a lie? Just because.
Why do you desire to believe a lie? What do the Scriptures say? Why do men love darkness rather than light?
Oh to be a puppet! But I am a worm. (Non Calvinists won't understand.)
Just because?!? That's the best you got...really? Wasn't there something about predestined to somewhere in there?
That Scripture you are referring to is in regards to unbelievers. You are aware of the BB rules, right?
Well, there you go. Would you tolerate a lie from the pulpit?
no. somebodies else.
What does this have to do with anything?
Sure. Your eyes haven't yet been opened to the truth.
It's in regard to the condition of man. You are of the belief that some are better than others, and you include yourself in the group that are better. You do not believe that left to yourself you love darkness better than light. You believe you love light and that you were born loving light, and by virtue of that you're a better man than the one who doesn't.
I, on the other hand, conclude ALL under sin, and incapable of loving light without the regeneration of the Holy Ghost.
It has to do with the OP. Haven't you been paying attention?

And why do you suppose God didn't ever open some believers eyes to this "truth?" (Wesley, CS Lewis, etc)
