Preacher4Ruth: You did the exact same thing AGAIN. You gave me scriptural evidence of how Paul and his believers knew THEY were saved but did not and still have not answered the question as to how you know YOU are ELECT. And elect and saved are not synonymous. Matthew 22:16 bears that out...

If there were no textual variants for John 3:16, then there should have never been a problem with the interpretation of 'begotten', yet the NIV changed it to "one and only Son" which obscures the meaning of monogenes. Even though the NIV followed the Majority text (with the exception of...

John Calvin planned on killing Servetus before he even arrived in Geneva. After several heated debates between Calvin and Servetus, John wrote to William Farel on Feb 13, 1546: "Servetus has just sent me a long volume of his ravings. If I consent he will come here, but I will not give my word...

When I sent my last correspondence to James White asking that if only the originals were inspired, which one of the 7 letters of Revelation that John sent to the 7 churches was the original, he stopped responding, and he now doesn't respond to either me or Will Kinney unless it's some sideswipe...

Yes I have read White's book, several times. I even have a section on my website written by Will Kinney-A CALVINIST-that debunks all of his claims and I have had quite a bit of personal correspondence with White.

I even have Calvinist friends that don't like James White. James White is one of those win-the-debate-at-all-costs Bible agnostics and is an expert in straw man arguments against the KJVO position.

Ah, they put all non Calvinists in the same category, and all KJVO's in the same categories and all IFB in the same category, so I'll exercise my liberty to put Wesley and Calvin in the same category (even though I don't remember Wesley burning heretics):) So John Calvin, John Wesley..ah..who...

I called it circular reasoning because this is how your argument goes against any of my responses to it: "I am saved because I am elect; I am elect because I am saved; I am saved because I am elect. The evidence that I am elect is because I am saved. The evidence that I am saved is because I...

Yup, wrong John. Letters to Wesley about Calvinism.

I would list patheos.com as one of the "Ten Websites Christians Should Avoid". It's a bitter antifundamentalist website that often creates its own caricature of fundamentalism and then criticizes the caricature.

I have written a response to this argument on our website: Steven Anderson's "After The Tribulation: A Refutation", and Problems with Preterism (section on "The Church Has Not Replaced Israel"

There really is no such thing as a Palestinian. If there were, the closest to it would be the Jew to whom that name was given by Rome to vilify Israel as Philistines. Even prior to the Jews regaining their land, there has never been a Palestinian state or any type of Palestinian government...

It is a little bewildering how you make such overbearing attempts to display your academia in such vitriolic fashion that often falls short of being accurate. For example, ignorance implies that I have not studied the facts of which I write about, or simply am unaware of the existence of...

It is odd how you can accuse me on not answering your question when I just did. Just because you don't like or agree with the answer does not mean it was not answered. Your premise is that I did not "understand it Biblically". I wasn't aware that I was quoting from some other source than the...

Iconoclast And one other thing to add, when you did respond, you cherry picked only certain points to rebut, left half of my arguments unanswered, and promised they would be included in "Part 2" and instead of there being a complete answer in a Part 2, was made sporadically over about 10...

If I spent all my time reading every link someone sent to me or posted I would lose 50 pounds because I would not even have time to eat. I have spent several years reading about various doctrines and have studied Calvin, Whitefield extensively (I have several books containing Whitefields...

I clearly stated my position about Romans 5 in this thread, and elsewhere. I typically ignore people that offer pejorative responses that serve to attack a person's character and demean them simply because they do not agree with another person. Thus when I write something, and then you respond...

A Calvinist being willing to preach the gospel around the world and doing it are 2 different things. When was the last time a Calvinist knocked on a door or passed out a tract? If they preach the gospel, where is it done? IN THEIR CHURCH which means that they are waiting for people to come to...

Go ye into all the world and preach the gospel unto all the elect even though they are going to be saved whether you preach to them or not. How a Calvinist honestly fulfills the commission to win souls is a mystery which is probably why you never see any of them emphasize it and often even...

"First of all,we really do not know exactly what happened in detail between Servetus,calvin and the state. We tend to compare what seems to be an outrageous act with the way our culture is today."-Rippon We do know that he was burned, and we do know that it was for heresy. If what we compare...
