I was a Marine...In Boot-camp, Marines are not allowed to speak in the first- or second persons EVER. They do not say "I". Similarly, they do not ever say: "YOU" When refering to themselves a recruit says: "This recruit has not recieved his ammunition isuue yet, sir...or when referring...

It is, of course a good reason...please feel free to vote other and suggest whether or not you believe it to be Constitutional. I don't personally think it to be un-constitutional, but I'm open to someone explaining otherwise. This thread is essentially based upon the assumption that it...

Suppose a few congressmen wanted to start a high speed AMTRAK line from Washington, DC to Los Angeles. The only stops would be Charleston, WV; Louisville, Ky; St. Louis,MO; Oklahoma City; Amarillo, Tx; Albuquerque, NM, Phoenix,AZ and LA. If this was approved - only residents in nine...

Much to learn here.........Calvin was LOADED with problems....but, as you said, at least he THOUGHT that God was his guiding motivation... He was wrong on MANY points. But in a strange sort of way....he believed the Scriptures were his guide. NOTHING DOING with the NAZIS. There is simply...

Win...Those Historians are NOT deceived....they are correct:thumbsup: But, it doesn't demonstrate what you are thinking it demonstrates... Luther was "Theologically" very anti-semitic. Luther was problematically very anti-semitic....and there is no doubt that Luther's views may have carried...

Wrong, actually: Win's error is not that of a "perverted mind" nor is it "mis-understanding Calvinism".....It is NEITHER. He has not been taught how to properly apply lessons of history. That is his error. You are only high-fiving this because it is "pro-Calvie"...that is equally as...

For my part.........they were the motivating factors. I think they are wonderfully convincing and motivating factors. I'm a proud man.........and God's telling me that he would burn me in hell eternally lest I repent had a humbling factor....so.....I wussed-out, took the easy route, let go...

I am sure that I am mis-understanding your intent with this post, but frankly, I don't get it... Unregenerate sinners don't give a flip about God's glory. Unregenerate men don't care about vindicating God's justice.... Unregenerate sinners come to Christ largely because of (as you said)...

Great post OT!! I noticed you supported the idea that a "congressman" should vote in accordance with the wishes of his constituency... In a perfect Universe, I would agree. a "Representative" probably should simply reflect the views of his constituents, so, your POV was not "wrong" (as my...

I think you are simply not following...I am only telling you that it is erroneous to say that "Double-Predestination" is some hackneyed invention of non-whatchamacalits to disparrage them. That's all. I know you don't call yourself "Calvinist". Sproul, however, and many others have no...

Any idea can be abused The problem with this is that Calvinism in no way logically necessitates these kinds of conclusions... ANY idea or thought-process (even a correct one) can be miss-applied. HINT: Even if it weren't for Calvinism....than another set of excuses would have been made for...

SN: I was responding to this statement of yours: That is simply not a true statement. Obviously, you do not believe in Double-Predestination....that's fine. Most Calvinists don't. There are even at least two Cals on this board I know of who do though. Some Calvinists simply believe that...

You may have a good point here: It's not easy to be willing to see the SBC divided, but it may be the best thing in the end.

What a GREAT article!! I am tempted to read her book. Thanks for posting this.:thumbsup: Obviously, GOD can do, what we mere humans could NEVER do...namely, convert a leftist lesbian professor to Christ.:applause: She read the Bible, pure and simple Hbr 4:12 For the word of God [is]...

I did. I did not say I think it's "un-constitutional"...Just stupid. But your question was "should" vote. Not "How do you believe they 'would' vote" They "Should" vote no on principle...of course, they won't.
