Edited. I'll take the high road on this one!

You really need to learn some new lines. Try using a Thesaurus. Learn some new adjectives and adverbs. Now let me school you as to what "context" means. Well, on second thought, you haven't figured that out since you've been here, so let me tell you what context is NOT. Trying a different...

Crash Dummie #2

He's the one that really has nothing to contribute or say. This is a game to him. I spend way much more time exegeting Scripture and explaining different philosophies then he bothers to. He simply waits from me to post something, follows the thread around, then gets his 3 buddies to join in to...

You have the same testimony as many Jehovah's Witnesses, Mormons, Atheists, Muslims that started out Christians and then "started to see something different". I could say the same thing. After I left Judaism, I was a Presbyterian and devout Calvinists until I started seeing inconsistencies when...

Why should you?? Because it is an enormously deceptive and dishonest tactic to gain converts to Calvinism by making the hearer think that if one of their beliefs resemble Arminianism of which they do not agree with, they must choose Calvinism by default. Thus Calvinism deliberately misrepresents...

"Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth." Instead of studying the WORD, Calvinists accept the interpretations of Calvin on election, who got his idea from Augustine (whom he quoted over 400 times in his...

And as usual, the MLJ defenders go the same go-to quote that has nothing to do with all the other statements that MLJ made elsewhere that he clearly supported the charismatic interpretation of continuationism. By the way, I never did get an answer about how many slaves Jonathon Edwards owned...

I sympathize with the Calvinist who don't realize just how close to Calvinism Jacobus Arminius really was. I have yet to see one Calvinist on here give any detailed explication of anything that Jacobus Arminius really believed, said or wrote.

[/B] And yet their slogan was "Let's fly TOGETHER" :)

It is my conclusion that RIPPONWV really isn't RIPPONWV. No new poster would admit to following so many of my posts and have such an obsession with accusing me of being "90% responsible" for how others react. Secondly, if your logic were consistent, you would notice that Rippon implied to DHK...

And what was Theodore Beza's theology! drumroll......................:wavey:

And THAT is the true essence of real honest core Calvinism. So-called "Hyper" Calvinism is really a Calvinist that allows the actual implications of general Calvinism to speak for itself. It doesn't deny the obvious conclusions that Calvinist theology leads to. The sad part is in those who are...

Calvinism only "understands" the "mystery between sovereignty and human responsibility" because they INVENTED THE MYSTERY. Furthermore, if Calvinists claim to understand a mystery, then it really isn't a mystery. DUH:tonofbricks:

F. The Gift of God Since touto refers to the previous phrase te gar chariti este sesosmenoi dia tes pisteos (“for by grace you have been saved through faith”), Theou to doron (“the gift of God”) is salvation. God gives everlasting life, by grace, to the one who believes in Christ. Theou (“of...

Is Faith A Gift From God? Apologetics Press Is Faith a Gift from God? by Eric Lyons, M.Min. “For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast” (Ephesians 2:8-9, emp. added). For centuries, Bible...

That is some pretty flawed logic considering that Jacobus Arminius graduated from JOHN CALVIN'S SCHOOL and ended up...well..an ARMINIAN. James Strong IS a Calvinist, that is a well known fact.

[thread closed by request of the originator so that Dr Ach will not ruin another thread]

There's several verses within this passage that blow the lid off of Limited Atonement. *Judas was one of the 12 that was specifically said to have been GIVEN to Christ, and yet he was lost. Jesus said "have I not CHOSEN you twelve and one of you is a devil". So GIVEN and CHOSEN do not have...

The word "offenses" here is skandalon (from where we get scandal) whereas sin is hamartia. This verse isn't saying that sin will come but that offenses are inevitable because of sin or other circumstances. This is also implied by the term 'must needs' from anagke which is something made...
