:) :) :)................

When I was 12 years old, I was forced in my childhood to memorize Genesis-Deuteronomy (You could say my parents were half Jewish, half Calviinist :) Between November and December of 2012, I finished memorizing the New Testament (finishing with Revelation). Thus, I do not need to carry a CREED...

I, however, DID answer the post about Carson :) And showed that not only did it not affect the OP, but actually SUPPORTED the accusations of the OP. Post 7 Post 14 and Post 26

This is what he's really going to do. It is obvious that there are several Non Calvinists on here that have listed verse after verse after verse of what we believe and why we believe it. Icon knows that. What he's attempting to do is create a catch 22 by tempting others to create a creed with...

Those who are CHRISTIAN have no problem identifying themselves as Israeli because that is the COUNTRY in which they live. It is not identifying with a culture or belief system anymore than blacks in the US are often considered "African-Americans" or Indians "Indian Americans". Arabs in this...

If you notice however, there are a plethora of terms that are DISTINCTLY CALVINIST ("Of Effectual Calliing"). So of course, his "test" is already skewed from the beginning because no Non Calvinist or Arminian is going to write a Biblical explanation for terms they don't agree with.

Origen (225 CE) writes: “The apostle in one place does not purport that becoming a vessel to honor or dishonor depends upon God [Rom. 9:21-22; a blatant rejection of Calvinistic thought]. Rather, he refers everything back to ourselves, saying, ‘If, then, a man purges himself, he will be a vessel...

You can post your out of context quotes on this thread, and I'll post their quotes that prove they did not share Calvinist views on THIS THREAD.

In balance to another member's attempt to prove the historicity of Calvinism, I will post the link to his thread to show a contrast between quotes used out of context, and what those same authors quoted elsewhere that show they were NOT Calvinists. Early Church Dads NOTE: These quotes do not...

Notice the trickery of posting quotes of men who merely stated what ALL OF US believe about mans innate sinfulness, and lining them next to quotes from Augustine that Calvin relied on to define inability. What MOST of these early church leaders stated about "depravity" is NOT THE SAME as it was...

He and John Gill, give the mistaken notion that just because an early church "father" (MOST OF WHOM HE QUOTES ARE ROMAN CATHOLIC) USED language that not even Arminians or Non Calvinists disagree with, that such somehow supports the early presence of Calvinist thought. Predestination, even...

Do tell when the last time any of those men gave out the gospel! First of all, Calvinists often resort to evangelistic ministers from HUNDREDS of years ago to attempt validation of their current styled churches. Not all of these men were consistent Calvinists and often contradicted themselves...

Notice that the letter was generated by liberal members of the Presbyterian Church USA, with their GAY RIGHTS LEADER Gradye Parsons. What these groups consider a violation of human rights is starkly different from what a legitimate view of "human rights" violations really are. Israel has a...

I'm not disagreeing that such is what Calvinists believe, that is exactly the point. It's the PRESENTATION of stated beliefs to the unsaved that is dishonest. The Calvinist is willing to lie to a potential convert by not being honest with them about what they really believe. And no, the...

Frankly, I'm GLAD he brought DA Carson up because it demonstrates the utter dishonesty of Calvinism in practice.

DA Carson writes from a perspective that his theology DOES NOT SUPPORT, which is being blatantly dishonest. For example: "I argue, then, that both Arminians and Calvinists should rightly affirm that Christ died for all, in the sense that Christ’s death was sufficient for all and that Scripture...

So it's wrong to erect a walled garrison in certain areas where known terrorist organizations traffic weapons and drugs, some of which walls were erected by ARABS, and yet in America you have a wall that stretches through the entire southern border of the United States 3 times the size of our...

The Islamic community certainly lives in greater peace here than the Jews do, that's for sure.

I would LOVE to talk to these people that you say are Arab Christians living in Israel that would be offended by the term "Arab Christian". The authorities don't even treat known terrorists suspects the way that you claim they treat Arab Christians. Being a Christian period is not popular in...

No misunderstanding at all: "III. By the decree of God, for the manifestation of His glory, some men and angels[6] are predestinated unto everlasting life; and others foreordained to everlasting death." Westminster Confession Ch 3, III, 3. Calvinists just need to be honest and tell sinners...
