Who is more teachable? Let's see... I actually went from being in one 'camp' to the other thus proving I'm teachable. Can you say that? And no, I don't mean going from being in ignorance of any doctrines of grace to accepting Calvinism (which I also did). Ignorance of a doctrine is not equal...

Well, what some don't seem to understand is that you CAN see someone's post if another poster 'quotes' them, as you did here. I didn't see P4Ts post until you quoted it in your post and since you aren't on my ignore list I can read his post. I also can see there post if it is reported, which...

For the FAITH to be shown as being 'alive' and not 'dead,' for if one chooses to NOT ACT on what they believe then their faith is dead and they aren't saved. But if they choose to act on what they believe then they prove to the world their faith is the living and saving faith. 1. I never...

Even the demons believe and shutter. What KIND of believing are you talking about, Luke?

See, you have this same problem with interpreting scripture. You latch on to one verse, you think you know what it means, and then you just ignore all the others which could actually help you to understand the first one. Allow scripture to help you interpret scripture, and then you can learn...

You are right, I cannot comprehend anyone actually stating that molesting a child (an event/action) is not evil. Moreover, the INTENT to do so had to come from somewhere Luke. It had to have an origin and its either from God or His creation. We all know why you avoid answering that...

You don't see how those two statements contradict each other, do you? There is not a law that has to be satisfied for me and another one for you, Luke. If he satisfies the demands of the law for one man then he has satisfied the demand for EVERYMAN. Hodge (both of them) explain this VERY...

Oh, you don't need to call me that. "Your majesty" will do fine. :) Personal? What was personal? Did I hurt someone's feelings? :smilewinkgrin: I was just speaking of when Calvinists talk all compassionate about wanting more people to be elected, showing they have more compassion than...

Well of course it is, do you think I would believe otherwise? But that doesn't mean man can't trade that truth in for lies and allow their hearts to grow defiled and be given over to their fleshly lusts, does it? Read Romans 1. Amen. And in addition, no one has cause to make excuses because...

Isn't he the one who said, "Save the elect and elect some more..." or something like that? I love it when Calvinists are more merciful than they think God actually is...it makes their error all the more manifest. :godisgood:

Faith comes by hearing, thus if they believe, God gets the credit for giving them what they needed to believe, but if they reject then its totally their fault because God gave them all they needed to respond and they chose to trade the truth in for a lie and suffer the consequence. Unbelievers...

I love and agree with that verse. Thanks for posting it, but I'm not sure what it had to do what I actually wrote. Well, we already all know that is your interpretation of the scripture, but thanks for telling us again. :)

Thats fine kyredneck, but may I request that you not 'quote' the post that you report because it recreates more work for us due to the fact that we have to edit the original and your quote. :) Thanks

For the same reason you are a Calvinist and another believer is not. Because that is your choice. What determines their choice? They do. An actor determines his actions. A chooser determines his choice. The mystery of this can be revealed in asking the same question about God. Why did he...

John, I was a Calvinist for a while and I assure you that most are just as evangelistic as most of us are. They don't claim to know who is or isn't chosen, so they preach to all like we do. Some here come across a bit over zealous (myself included at times), but most here are probably pretty...

I can and do minister along side Calvinists, non-Cal, and 'label shunners' all the time. My brother and my best friend both disagree with me on some of these matters but we do missions and ministry together regularly.

One, I've never used the word's 'magical power,' but at least I credit the power to the same source the scriptures do, where as Calvinists credit it to some secret irresistible working never spoken of in the scripture. So, let me ask all of you Calvinists the same type of question, "Do you...

Oh, on the subject of 'cold.' I reject the concept that in a vacuum it would be cold. Before God created any matter I don't believe it was 'cold' because there wasn't temperature. Just like there wasn't dark prior to creation. It's like the old tree falling in a forrest question. If no one...

I noticed you didn't answer any of the questions my post? :tear: I answered this question on the other thread...

Rebellion is something, Luke. It is something an agent actually does. Now you can argue until you are blue in the face about light/dark; cold/heat; hunger/food; or whatever new analogy using inanimate objects/concepts you want, but that doesn't change the fact that Dahmer's intent to kill...
