grace or pure sovereignty?

It is clear that you are here, not to discuss the intricacies of Arminian and Calvinist theology. No, you are here to fight against people who are supposed to be your brothers and sisters in the faith.

I am hear to say there should be no "intricacies of Arminian and Calvinist theologies"! There should be no differences that lead to impassioned argument among believers. There should be no divisions among us but there are.

If by bringing up the illogic of what one says, I am fighting, then that is your opinion. As for posting scriptures, if that is a prerequisite for participation, then by all means I will start posting scripture. If I were to post scriptures, my posts would contain many scriptures, for my beliefs are not based on single scriptures taken out of context. When I do post scripture you politely ignore them as you have each time I've posted any scripture, so what is the point in putting forth such effort, when you ignore it?

It is much easier to believe in accordance with someone else's interpretations that are laid out in the form of a roadmap than it is to establish your beliefs based on your reading of the written Word. And that is the flaw in both Armenianism and Calvinism, the adherents to either are led to arrive at the conclusions of the founders of those isms.

You insult people, including me, with statements such as:

Is everybody in Kentucky as thick headed as you?

AND

If ya keep tryin' I'll stomp yor sittin' part deep into your blue grass! Tain't nuttin' so mulish, as a puny man thinkin' he can outsmart God! So quit already!

The first is to your continued failure to see the truth in what is posted, the second is to your incessant deliberate attempts to label myself and others who do not believe as you do. Labels are every bit as insulting to those you assign them to as my comments are to you! So wake up and smell the coffee. If you do not insult me with stupid labels, I'll refrain from injuring your pride too!

I don't drink Coffee, thank you very much. And I'm not aware of any "label" that I've put on you.

I think you can talk to most other posters, including Bill, and, though we strongly disagree, we discuss like grown men. Perhaps you should take a lesson.

Blessings,

Archangel

Talk about "ad hominem" argument! You have it mastered, as exemplified in you last post!

I don't like hominey, but my brother does.

You must be joking. Where is the arguement that I put-up against you personally?

Where have I called you "Thick-headed?"

Where have I threatened to "Stomp your hinder parts into the blue grass?"

Nowhere!

If you consider using the example of the discussions that I've had with Bill as good discussions, even though we disagree, and telling you that this is an example that you should follow, an ad hominem arguement, then I'm sorry. I didn't know you were that sensitive to constructive criticism.

Blessings,

Archangel
