Did a C or A say this?

… except Calvinism.

… I can just FEEL the love dripping from that “back hand” compliment. [here is my other cheek]

 

Good question SH....I will be working through the thread now and do not want to skip over some of the questions.
It is not a competition, but there are several who oppose the truth of God, and need to be offered correction, and in some cases exposed as opposing themselves and being used to draw people after themselves.....you know the type.....everyone else is wrong, they have matured beyond the truths that the whole confessing church holds to, no theologian can possibly match what they pronounce. We are warned in scripture about such persons;
3jn.9;

 

I discussed the context of the passage and used other passages in John to support that context while directly addressing the question.

You responded with Insults.

peace to you

 

Indeed, and I am guessing you are as clueless as me.

 

Thank you. It looks like a good read.

peace to you

 

JonC,

.

It might seem that way to you, because what happens is you find a way to attack Calvinist views, and people speaking down to them with subtle insults. Calvinists question you about it, and you go into denial mode.
Other Calvinists see the attack against the doctrine, and the insults as the day goes on. They respond to your false ideas, and insults.
What do you think they will do? Bake you some cookies?

.
Not really...when you lurk trying to catch a wrong word, or expression, most of us know the Cal will quickly point out your motive and explain what they were trying to say.
We are not a "group" as you say....but we are like minded having been instructed in truth for years.
Some might be newer and might still be exploring and learning.
in fact most of us will confess openly that we are still learning.

Some might share how others phrase things, but we have liberty to post what we want.
I saw an example on this thread when I took a coffee break earlier.

Non cals are on the attack most of the time. There are some Cals that post very aggressively also...that is what happens on message boards.

Many have changed views over the years having not heard the truth actually presented. People who have posted evidence of opposing these truths, who now embrace them. Not bogus statements of....I used to believe this or that, and give no evidence of it anywhere,lol.

 

In Ephesians, which you quoted, the Apostle Paul very methodically proclaims the two groups (Jew and Gentile) have been made into one new man by the cross of Christ.

There is no doubt Paul was stating, and literally did state on occasion, that there is no distinction between Jew and Gentile.

That Jesus would make those promises to the disciples doesn’t change that fact. It reflected their positions as Apostles, not as Jews.

peace to you

 

Reynolds,

You do not see them interacting with openly hostile attacks as on message boards

 

Cut the ad hominem and false representations. I do not use one verse for my points

 

Several Cals have been banned from several boards...
One board puts Calvinists that post on
"coffee break" which means you cannot post for a few days...while you are on coffee break they PM you trying to recant what you posted. A former administrator on BB was harshly treated.

 

Clearly you are just trolling now or are incredibly ignorant. Which is it?

 

Read your own posts.

 

Yes...Very rarely does he offer substance. many here just attack as if that speaks to the issues.

 

JonC,

Here JonC tries to egg on the attacking Non cals, lol.

[QUOTE]Not addressing the disputes but attacking other Christians who dare to question their theology.[/QUOTE]

No..defending against the attacks first, then if any substance is there we can discuss that.

 

the labels or groups define things quickly. After you post a hundred times or more, what you hold as doctrine becomes clear.
some do not like the labels because they cannot defend their ideas yet. others have tried and failed to defend a position, so the default is to attack and call names, arrogant and rude are the two front runners.
