If you had paid any attention to the many posts I have made regarding this then you would know that the RCC used many of augustines false teachings and you would also know that augustine brought many false pagan doctrines into the chruch which calvinism has carried forward to this day. If you...

If you actually did some research you would find that many of the RCC doctrines did come from Augustine just as many of the calvinist views came from him also. So now you are defending the RCC. That is a rather odd thing for a calvinist to do. Do you think that the RCC started at Peter? That...

That is your opinion but since one cannot fall away from a position that they do not hold your view really has no basis in reality.

Since he got his views from augustine and we see the result of his views in the RCC then we can see why calvin was not a christian. If he or augustine had followed the theological views that predated them then they would not have done the things they did. It just makes me wonder why anyone...

That is your opinion Van but the text IMHO does not support your view. So we disagree. So it would seem that you hold to the calvinist view that those that turn away were never really saved in the first place. Again a view not supported by scripture. Apostasy is a sin which can be committed...

Eight years later, Calvin was still defending himself against criticism and still advocating the burning of heretics. In a 1561 letter to the Marquis de Poet, high chamberlain to the King of Navarre, Calvin advises sternly: Do not fail to rid the country of those zealous scoundrels who stir up...

Heb_6:4-6 For it is impossible in the case of those who have once been enlightened,G5461 (G5685) {cf Heb_10:32; Eph_1:18; 2Ti_1:10 } [to enlighten, spiritually, imbue with saving knowledge] {and who} have tasted G1089 (G5666) the heavenly gift, {cf Heb_2:9; 1Pe_2:3; Mat_16:28; Joh_8:52}...

I am curious as to how anyone that God has, according to calvinism, been predestined to be on the highway to heaven can at any time realistically have been on the highway to hell?

It is not how long or how often you pray but why you pray that matters. God looks at the intent of the heart not the words or how long one prays. Look what we see in scripture: Luk 18:10 “Two men went up to the temple to pray. One was a Pharisee and the other a tax collector. Luk 18:11 The...

If the bear is that close it just means he wants pepper on his food.:) If the bear is angry pepper spray may slow him down but will not stop him. Spray is only good to about 15 feet, a bear runs at 35 miles an hour. By the time he knows he has been sprayed he is on you. Even if he then ran away...

Require a training course, police check etc. And it is getting worse. Rifles do not kill, it is the nut behind the rifle that does. We do not have a right to bear arms as you do in the states.

That was my rifle of choice. I had several but that was the one I used most often. Would not call it a plinking rifle. Here in Alberta you want something with good stopping power as we have grizzly bears to contend with. He was a young radical that went to far and now will pay the price.

I have to disagree with the trained shooter view. A trained shooter would know to aim for the mass, the chest. The fact that Charlie was hit in the neck shows that the person was not a good shooter. If you watch the video you see the Charlie was leaning back and forth so to aim for the neck or...

Thank you EFW. That is a song for our time.

Your post would mean that you hold to universalism. But since we know that is not a biblical view then we should look to the bible to find the truth What does the bible tell us about whom Christ died for? 1Jn 2:2 He Himself is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not only for ours but also...

You should take your own advice as it is clear that you have missed the truths contained there in.

Rom 10:8 But what does it say? "THE WORD IS NEAR YOU, IN YOUR MOUTH AND IN YOUR HEART"—that is, the word of faith which we are preaching, Rom 10:9 that if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved; Rom 10:10 for...

What you mean is when I agree with your failed interpretation. That's not going to happen. But I do see that you do like to ignore a great many things such as the pagan roots of the religion you hold to.

Who were saved? Not Israel?

Election is for those that have heard and believed and they are predestined to adoption as sons through Jesus Christ to Himself. That you can not even understand that points to your lack of ability to read with comprehension. But I do know why you ignore these truths. It would blowup your...
