He isn't aiding the Arminian cause. Any right-thinking person can separate the doctrine which bears Calvin's name from the man himself. It's just a name. The error is his, in that HE (not you or any Arminians) insists that Calvin's name must be cleared in order to protect the docrinal ideas...

1.) Bolsec would again....be one of those critics of Calvin the existence of whom you deny. You are officially now on record claiming that Calvin had no critics....Glad we cleared that up. BTW: EVERYBODY had/has critics....even good people. however, on to your quote by McGrath: HE is...

You may convince yourself of Calvin's innocence all you want, but Calvin disagrees with you. What did Calvin himself say about his own role in the Servetus affair? "Many people have accused me of such ferocious cruelty that (they allege) I would like to kill again the man I have destroyed...

Hi Awaken:wavey:

Icon....on a side note: I think it would be fascinating for someone to Psycho-analize why you just switched to addressing people in the third person: *weird*

:applause:Q...E...D:applause:

:thumbs::jesus:I tend to think that I can say anything better than anyone who has previously stated it (that's just my pride)........... but I know for a fact I couldn't have said what you just said BETTER than you just did. You get a "10" out of a possible "10" for that one :thumbs...

Dude....back me up on this....White is REALLY SMART....and absolutely AWESOME as pertaining to debating Cults, Islam, the Resurrection of Christ et al.....But he doesn't understand a fig about the KJV debate no? He should have let that one go, and simply work on what he was good at yes?

Telll you what....I've read Dr. White's book 3 times....and you know what??? It basically sux....NOT IMPRESSED!!! I've read FAR MORE anti-KJV literature than I have pro-KJV lit...and White's book absolutely sux sir... It's not profound....It is not the end-all-be-all that you seem to...

Icon....You will IGNORE Scripture and define it as it suits you...and I demonstrate where and how you do it here:

Yeshua....let's take this line by line: Our status as a "sinner by nature" (you are correct) does not effect whether or not libertarian "free-will" exists. We can choose in that nothing compels or requires or necessitates the choices we make. A persons will is "free" just in case he might...

:applause:Great post O.T.:thumbs: Something you said made me want to share this gem about God's word and Job's place in it: Job 19:23 ¶ Oh that my words were now written! oh that they were printed in a book! Job 19:24 That they were graven with an iron pen and lead in the rock for ever...

"Mansion over the Hilltop" always bothered me too....ughh :( It's one of those infallible inspired "Great old Hymns of the Faith", that some think are sacro-sanct....blech.

You are misusing 1 Cor. 15:22. You are essentially using it to reinterpret what is being said in Romans 5:18. It is NOT talking about the same thing as Romans 5:18. You are equivocating between them. ALL of 1 Cor 15 is about physical resurrection. And it does indeed refer to ALL humans...

:thumbs::wavey: Right on again! This is classic "society says" or "society does" relativism. It is a tactic of the Godless and immoral. We can't derive an "ought" from an "is".... Attempting to justify Calvin's actions by appealing to the practices of a wicked society is absolutely NO...

That and it's value extends such that you are exonerrated for hurling any insult you wish and saying anything you want about someone for example: 1:) Oh what an ugly little child that is, bless his heart. 2:) That girl is so fat, bless her heart. 3.) Poor ____ is such an idiot, bless...

WOW!!! you will, on the one hand say this:

By that same logic, they were never, and in fact no Saint ever was under the threat of damnation nor ever condemned, nor ever not saved if you take it consistently.
