The Final Authority, The Bee weighs in: Non-Denominational Church Exposed As Undercover Baptists

I know. Hence, why I expressed some confusion about what exactly your purpose was. More accurately, arguments can be used as means. Yes, it is. I realize that Calvinists deny this; often by appealing to the notion that God's will (in lieu of "fates" or pagan entities) are behind the...

I don't have it backwards. I must not have explained myself sufficiently. It is only consistent for a non-Calvinist to attempt to "convince" a Calvinist of his position. It is inconsistent for a Calvinist to insist on being "convinced". Hence my puzzlement that you would start such a thread...

I understand the concept just fine. My initial post was really meant to be more tongue-in-cheek and not taken particularly seriously. My apologies that it didn't come off that way. Certainly, there is nothing wrong with you well-wishing your friend. blessings :)

Correct. It's the fact that it isn't actually true which makes it untrue. No. Yes you do.

And lies about false Seminary degrees let's remember ;)

Yeah....like I said... No REAL Seminary degree huh? <-like you just tried to claim.. If you got a real one, I'm a monkey's uncle.

By your own admission what "transpired" is, that God has so Sovereignly chosen at this point in time to not reveal for his own glorious purposes his marvelous works of sanctifying grace upon him. It is God's most wise counsel, and for his glory that your friend remain ignorant of the glorious...

Will do!!! Thank you for demonstrating the loving humility which is endemic to all adherents of "Calvinism"... By the way... If you graduated from an actual legitimate seminary, than I'm a monkey's uncle.

Which is an example of you "kicking against the pricks" if that is not God's will. God may have absolutely no desire in his Sovereign and perfect plan to "bless" him with the sanctifying grace he has bestowed upon you and therefore you have simply admitted that you have audibly wished and...

I recant everything You're right John Please accept my sincerest apologies. I'm out.

John....I'll admit the THIRD time...!! You didn't say anything "wrong" about Calvinism! I don't claim you did, and I never did. I am, absolutely and unequivocally saying you don't understand it's implications. And, by extension, you don't really understand it. It's not enough to simply plant a...

Folks, read this response closely. Read it again and again. Absorb everything about it and all it offers.............. I rest my case

Thank you for sharing this! I like it

It has nothing to do with being a "strawman" John.... Read my edited post.... Brian essentially admits as much.;) You should accuse him of straw-man argumentation against himself. :Roflmao

The capacity of a person to weigh options (including considered opinions) especially about Theological questions, which, by definition, are largely a function of sanctification are wholly functions of God's grace and a gift God bestows when and how he chooses in the Calvinist schema. There's a...

It is inconsistent with your Theology to ask people to "change your mind" via argumentation or reason etc... I'd think you should know that.

There's also this version.... Granted we're all a bunch of stupid bumpkins without the benefit of the genius of the Mathers, Edwardses, Owenses and Slicks of this world... But we do o.k.... And countless millions are coming to Christ, who-da' thunk it: I guess God is Soveregn and uses means:

B.T.W..... We've been emotionally manipulating our audience with "Softly and Tenderly" for the last 20 years.... not "Just as I am"...That was Billy Graham and George Beverly Shea... Now we're all post-modern!

No, just the only Christians on the planet that sing "Just as I am" for 20 consecutive minutes if Brian is to be believed :p
