LOL!! :laugh: NP....anyone going after me would be fair-game. I admit I give as good as I get or at least try to, and I often feel that I am more coarse than I should be, but what did YOU do that was so very hateful? :confused:

This would serve to demonstrate that a particular hero of Arminianism was un-bothered by the fact that an intelligent Calvinist disagreed with him.

:thumbsup::thumbsup::applause: Although...really the position of the OP is that "smart" or "intelligent" dissenters are of particular annoyance to the Cal....It never bothers anyone when an idiot disagrees with them. I love the link you posted :thumbsup:

You seriously got worked up about that didn't you...did I strike a nerve? Thou dost protest too much sir!! The wicked flee when no man pursueth: but the righteous are bold as a lion

These are wonderful passages OR...they are also the inspiration for my screen-name (I am an adoptee...both physically and spiritually) Since Christ gave up what might have been his "inheritance" that he might be able to gain us as his children, brothers, and co-heirs.... The problem is: In...

Possibly, what I posted might be called "vomitus". I also nearly admitted as much... I was gracious enough at the time (since you appear not to be over it yet) not to explain that technically....this was not ad hominem. You are broadening the definition. No one recently has posted...

Just for fun....and to perhaps, pin you into an even deeper corner, I decided to paste the sum total of all posts ITL has on this thread. Precisely which one O.R. are you suggesting is an "ad hominem"? http://www.baptistboard.com/showthread.php?p=1850074#post1850074...

UHHH.....yes, of course....therefore, due to God's Grace....he was saved....he was also 8 or fewer hours away from death...hence "by the skin of his teeth". He will receive few rewards....but he got there solely by the Grace of God. What is your point? This is why you often get fewer...

That is precisely what this is.

Yes, they get there by "the Grace of God" WD knows this, all truly regenerate people know this, it is also not up for dispute: This is not a direct contradiction of the idea that some get there by the "skin of their teeth". It is really a simple idea....I hate to explain for WD and he doesn't...

Precisely...:type:.....Much to the chagrin of many, not all. I can think of several Cals, many who haunt this board; who no more took it personally than the man in the moon. Most of them....didn't even post. Why? it didn't apply to them. Their reaction could probably be safely summed up as to...

Icon.....You pulled out only the word "us-ward" and you assumed...that it MUST mean that "us-ward" means the elect....and only the elect, that is totally unwarranted. but you have isolated that one word...And then freely felt the authority to start talking about sheep exclusively. Who in 1...

Here: 2Pe 3:9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. I also posted the entire passage earlier...

It is a statement of opinion only...it is merely a general observation that Skan has made...I have also made a similar observation. Many non-Cals feel this way. It may not be objectively true, we would all admit as much. But (generally speaking) many non-Cals honestly perceive many Cals as...

Breathe........... Easy there trigger, no one was implying you were lost or questioning your salvation. You mistook my meaning. I think you wanted to mistake my meaning...but you mis-read my intent anyway. I do know this: The above is not likely true, it's a dialectic device that I...

And....if you were permitted to "giggle" along with men like Chesterton....you would never say this. You would happily come towards Christ in the way that men like Chesterton can, and Skan can...not taking yourself so very seriously, but having the faith of a child. Please read some of...

Please ICON, Please, for all of us...create a new thread wherein I will exposit the plain meaning of what Peter is saying in his epistle wherein he directly explains God's eternal purpose vis a vis the flood....and you do so...side by side...and allow all people to decide who is exegeting the...

The main premise of the OP is decidedly true....I quote two of those men in my signature...Calvinists absolutely LOATHE it (usually) when genuinely intelligent and knowledgeable Christians disagree with them. That is largely because fully 25% of the convincing strength of Calvinist argument...

Exactly....DHK... except that I would not suggest that Adam had a "depraved" nature prior to the fall....:wavey: Yes it means exactly what it says ..."God was not "WILLING" that "ANY" should perish, but that "ALL" should come to repentance... Simply use the Word of God to explain itself...
