Originally posted by Walter: "I perceive that thou art in the gall of bitterness, and in the bond of iniquity." You realize, of course, you are taking the position of the Roman Catholic Church......the same 'Church' who systematically persecuted, tortured, confiscated goods and...

Once again, Skandelon uses sound bite quotes which he has lifted from anti-Calvinist sources to ‘prove’ his Arminian ordo salutis. I quote from Richard Muller’s Calvin and the Reformed Tradition: On the Work of Christ and the Order of Salvation. “Although it is certainly suitable to speak...

Peter Waldo, or more properly, ‘Waldes of Lyons’, was no friend of the Roman Catholic Church. Instead, he and his followers were labeled ‘heretics’ for several reasons, not the least of which was their refusal to cease preaching the Gospel. There are two significant English sources which...

In studying the 3 volumes of Arminius' Works, I was stunned at his relentlessly confused theology. The entire thrust of his writings was an attempt to 'explain himself' to his fellow Christian pastors and theologians who had grave misgivings as to his orthodoxy. Arminius' arguments were...

In studying the link I found the following: “New Testament theologian Ben Witherington remarks that apart from the word election (eklektos) occasionally being used to apply to the king in the Old Testament, election in the Old Testament is predominately applied corporately to a people, not to...

Sorry for the confusion. My statement concerns the final willful cause of man’s salvation: Is it of man or of God? I agree it is conditional on believing in Christ, the provisional Lamb of God. However, we believe Scripture is clear regarding the gift of faith as coming from God to man...

Yes, I did not purposefully capitalize the ‘H’. I speak of man, not God. Thank you for pointing that out! This is another tenet held by you, Arminians and Arminius. Sufficient grace is given all men who hear the Word of God. It is efficacious only in those who by their free will...

Thank you for your frank and succinct replies! I see that the Parable of the Prodigal Son is your authority for defining spiritual death as ‘separated or cut off from fellowship with me'; (i.e., God the Father). In turn, the Prodigal Son’s response – the voluntary willingness to be...

Please cite the page number so I may examine the context and credulity of the quote.

Your position has been repeated on this forum innumerable times. Because of your verbosity I choose to distill its contents into the following easily discernable points: 1. Man is sin sick, but not to point of spiritual death and total inability to do that which is pleasing to God unto...

Your quote fails to provide your source material. Scholars always cite sources when referencing others. In your case I highly doubt you found the quote by reading the exhaustive works of Arminius for yourself. Rather you lifted the quote from a recent anti-Cal source....in which case to...

Am I the only board member who discerns the same Scriptures being debated endlessly again and again? How many times must Biblicist patiently and biblically refute the same persistent errors brought forth by the same insistent Arminian/Pelagian/Humanists? Let’s be honest. The Bible stresses...

She is of the Arminian/Pelagian breed. Any sinless baby should know that. I'm sure the Franciscan priest, the nuns, parishioners and all their animal friends get a huge laugh when you bring her to the 'blessing.' I'd even bet St. Francis himself is smiling up from Perdition.

I’ve no doubt Winman brings his most ‘faithful’ pet to the local Roman Catholic Church for ‘The Blessing of Pets’ every October 4th. (I will make an educated guess that the pet is a Pomeranian named ‘Foo-Foo.’) I quote the ‘blessing’ from authoritative sources: “Foo-Foo, may you be...

I’m sorry, but I can’t and won’t follow you. As a boy I was warned of a Pied Piper. As a man I was warned of the blind leading the blind and where they end up. But it is not only myself, preacher4truth and Biblicist who will not follow you. Not one Arminian or Pelagian board member...

Hey Stegley: Your sideshow has considerable entertainment value. Can't wait to see the Main Event. You know.....when you transform yourself into an Angel of Light.

"In the mouth of two or three witnesses shall every word be established." Please present your case. Skandelon is but one witness. You would make it two.

Then what was the purpose of citing Calvin? Are you denying you found the quote in an anti-cal argument? Are you now having us believe you are on Calvin's side?

You cannot cite one Scripture which verifies your misguided and God-dishonoring statement. Furthermore, not one board member has come to your defense. Are you now reflecting the stubborn attitude of another member who denies original sin?: “I don’t care how many Scriptures you cite. I...
