Individual Election

ILUVLIGHT,

Most Calvinists find Mr. Hunt very offensive because he takes them head on. He uses their own writers to point back to the fact that Calvinism has it basis having come out of the bowels of the Roman Catholic Church back in the 300's via their scholar, the sainted Augustine. {354-430 A.D.}

John Calvin coming out of the spiritual darkness of their system, only poluted the waters of the new Protestantism. And even today the darkness continues to shroud the verile truths of Christ.

 

AMEN BROTHER BERRIAN!

 

The Blind following the blind....

Dave Hunt HAS NEVER even studied church history or the reformers.. he has admitted that in his debates... so how can he make statements about things he hasn't studied and HOW can you follow him?... And I know him from my being a assistant pastor from a calvary chapel..

To say that Augustine was apart of the RCC is shear ingnorance of history which shows you are just like your guru that you follow, never knowing it...


2 Timothy 4:2-4 2 Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine. 3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; 4 And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.

 

Ray,

Your showing hypocrasy when you say you won't LISTEN TO the words of man but yet you CLING to a man's comments about something that he hasn't even studied !

Why not adhere to the comments of eight year olds on astro physics? ...

 

Are those your exact words Ray? or did you say the to wit, "the principle or teaching, is out of the bowels of the RCC"

 

Brethren,

I have before me a text that is falling apart written by A.A. Hodge, D.D. back in 1883 called, “Outlines of Theology” Thomas Nelson and Sons, Edinburgh; and New York. On page 16 the author says, quote, ‘The point of view adopted in this book is the evangelical and specifically the Calvinistic or Augustinian one, assuming the following fundamental principles.’ [/quote]

On page 100 Hodge says, quote, ‘Luther, a monk of the order of Augustine, and an earnest disciple of that father, taught a system of faith agreeing in spirit and in all essential points with that afterwards more systematically developed by Calvin.

If you do not believe me, send me your address and I will make you a photo static copy of both pages. Please, tell me what makes it right for Dr. Hodge to put this in print in his Calvinistic text, “Outlines of Theology” but it is a lie if Mr. Hunt writes it in his text, “What Love Is This?”

I may be wrong because I do not often study from Calvinistic texts, but I think Drs. Hodge and B.B Warfield were from Princeton Theological Seminary. When I was a young pastor, a brother, pastor in faith gave me his entire library except for a few of his favorite books.

Again, it is a fact that Augustinianism and Calvinism have a link together though separated by centuries.

 

Of course, what you guys all gloss over is that Arminianism is the Protestant version of Catholic soteriology. YOUR soteriology is Catholic.

 

ILUVLIGHT,

You had an insightful post on the 23rd. of December, the one with the smiley face.

Gene, should know that Calvinism has come out of early Catholicism as you said.

Gene, though trying to evade your truth, is also right that many evangelical non-Catholic Christians agree with the evolved Catholic view and we together admit that the real truth is that Jesus died for all human sinners. [Hebrews 2:9 & II Peter 3:9 & I John 2:2] Many evangelical church along with priests believe that our Lord’s love reaches to all and the worst of sinners. We are moving closer to the Light, while some still prefer to sit in the spiritual
gloominess of the Dark Ages.
