Peter said there is no other name under heaven given to man whereby we must be saved. What is gommed up about that, or what do you not understand?

I guess you are Hyper after all.

I've read both Calvin and Gills commentaries in part over 40 years ago. He is a comparison of their beliefs . John Calvin's Election Theory Atonement: Calvin taught that Christ's atonement was sufficient for all humanity, meaning its value could cover the sins of all people, but it is...

Calvin believed all men should hear the gospel, Gill didn't. That is the main reason most consider Gill as Hyper. There are several other things where Gill takes Calvinism to extremes. You can read all about it comparing their commentaries.

I can't read all of that, Ken, that much reading gets me fidgety. So I skimmed it. What he's claiming as Hyper seems to be what Calvin taught more/less and I consider that Calvinism. Hyper, in my opinion goes over the edge of Calvinism, such as Gill. I haven't seen the Hyper in your posts...

If you don't believe you were saved before you were born, or that all men do not need to hear the Gospel, why do you think you're Hyper?

Referring to the Hyper-Calvinist who wrote the commentary you posted.

Thus coming from a man who believed he was saved before he was born. Didn't see the need for the Gospel to be preached to all men. A very disturbed man!

No matter where you go there's a Calvinite lurking in the shadows.

Not totally ate up with it like some I know. I do try escape it at times and thought I had.

His grace is for all who will choose it, "whosoever will." Man chooses his own destiny in this world. There's something bad wrong with believing God has left man without that choice.

Well, I stand corrected. We are further apart than I suspected.

That knowledge comes from the hearing of the Gospel through the Great Commission. God having the desire that all men everywhere repent and come to the knowledge of the truth.

Come on, Cathode! How in the world do you expect us to believe such history in the Church as Mary being taken to heaven body and soul at her death? This falls in line with Apostolic Succession, not of word of it in Scripture. I could bring up several other things. The history of the Church...

My sister was crazy over rabbits back in the day. He raised them for years even taking them to rabbit shows, she won several trophies, and 2 best in show. Until she discovered boys, and that was the end of the rabbits. My Dad did the same with the droppings spreading it in the garden.

No disrespect toward you, Cathode, I like you, always have. But your history being placed at the level of Scripture by your leaders is the reason I'm a Protestant. There's absolutely to much of that history in the Church and not found in the Scripture.

Yes, I agree that was the big picture. I don't see any borders between my free will and your election in the explanations of this study. I think we will agree for the most part, Ken. Maybe? I think the Silent Years had much to do with the preparation of the 1st advent, in several ways...

Yes, we have a completely different view of the Church as seen in the Scripture. Paul took Timothy under his wing training him for a pastor, not an apostle. The successor to the apostleship is absent in Scripture after Mathias replaced Judas to fulfill the 12. Only in the mind of the RCC is...

Well, we're human always having to speculate. I find myself doing a lot of that.

There's no one in Hell who can't think back to a time when they ignored the calling of God. Have you ever considered the example of the rich man a Lazarus? The rich man didn't ask why am I here or I don't belong here, he asked for Lazarus to be sent to his brothers so they would not share his...
