Featured The Biblical truth of Calvinism as revealed in Scripture pt2.

Fact is you cannot deal with any scripture offered here, so this response is just your fragmented thoughts which help no one.
Try and interact with what is offered or no need to waste a post saying nothing.

 

The very mention of true doctrine brings out the truth suppressors.
God spoke to Adam and Satan appears and says half God really said direct denial and doubt of God's word.
The Living Truth Jesus Christ speaks to Pilate who questions what is truth?
Saul as a religious man thought he had to do many things contrary to the teaching of Jesus until he got saved.
God tells us in Ephesians 4:11 to 16 is given Godly teachers Apostles prophets to the church as a gift the first thing a truth suppressor will do is undermine the teachers.
Many times a truth suppressor is narcissistic thinking that they alone see it right or they alone have the truth and all of the teachers are subject to them

 

Truth suppressors come in many forms. You have some that just personally read The Bible or hear The Bible taught and they recognize that has a ring of truth but they hold it down and try to suppress it push it down under so they don't have to live and acknowledging they lack the ability to do so.
Now some other times on message boards there is a phenomenon that people speak about or you could look it up on Wikipedia of what they call an Internet troll and some time Internet trolls on a message board like this function as truth suppressors who link with other people who also seek to suppress the truth.
When I looked up the definition of Internet trolls I find that they offer off topic posts ,flaming posts, trying to inflame and distract from the issue at hand. They don't interact with what's already been offered directly they jump off topic.
So will let the reader decide if any Internet trolls at all or a Internet troll posse has taken a look at this thread and if they're seeking to disrupt it rather than interact with it.\\

Barry Johnson,

Good, you used a verse...not really addressing the topic, but you are trying!

[QUOTE]Its in Jesus not John Calvin [/QUOTE].

Good, you know that Jesus is not John Calvin, John Calvin is not Jesus.very good Barry....I owe you a cookie as a prize

1] Your lack of understanding is what is embarrassing indeed.

2] What was framed out is from a Book on Calvinism/Arminianismdo you think it might mention John Calvin?

3] You mention John Calvin more than I do, with no substance behind your tweets.

4] I have started several threads dealing with scripture being God's greatest gift to mankind, but you do not care.

5] This thread has more scripture in it , than your last 50 posts, and there is plenty more to come, now that the introductory phase is up and running.

Every reformed person and teacher affirms that, so it shows the true nature of your post, as a troll posting. You have been asked to interact with what has been posted on other threads, as well as this one. You cannot so you seek to dismiss what is offered.
No one forced you to come on here did they?
Your authority seems to be the defective 101 podcast, which has been found wanting.

Actually, I and all other Calvinists actually know what Paul wrote;
13 Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before,

14 I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.

15 Let us therefore, as many as be perfect, be thus minded: and if in any thing ye be otherwise minded, God shall reveal even this unto you.

16 Nevertheless, whereto we have already attained, let us walk by the same rule, let us mind the same thing.

17 Brethren, be followers together of me, and mark them which walk so as ye have us for an ensample.

18 (For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ:

19 Whose end is destruction, whose God is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things.)

20 For our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ:

Paul and the Apostles were all about the word, and pursued Christ, searching the scriptures and offers himself as an example for us.

.

The ignorance of the troll posse is to suggest that reformed persons are about, men and" prostrating themselves before men", are nothing but troll posse suggestions seeking to divert away from truth.
No reformed persons do any such thing, and only a dishonest poster would suggest such a foul idea.
Every reformed Confession of faith, and catechism starts with the great gift of scripture, and how it is all Christ-centered.

To suggest anything else is dishonest and lying, which some evidently have no problem doing

People who have found such solid teachers share the information with others who desire to learn also. To suggest this is not correct again shows the true nature of your post.

 

This failed post is a repeat of the same twaddle that is constantly posted, by this poster. it has been answered each time it is posted, so we will not waste time with it once again. the poster can always start another thread to see if anyone enjoys his post, he might have one or two devoted fans.

Some have suggested there is no scripture being offered so;
(Rom. 9:19–24).
19 Thou wilt say then unto me, Why doth he yet find fault? For who hath resisted his will?

20 Nay but, O man, who art thou that repliest against God? Shall the thing formed say to him that formed it, Why hast thou made me thus?

21 Hath not the potter power over the clay, of the same lump to make one vessel unto honour, and another unto dishonour?

22 What if God, willing to shew his wrath, and to make his power known, endured with much longsuffering the vessels of wrath fitted to destruction:

23 And that he might make known the riches of his glory on the vessels of mercy, which he had afore prepared unto glory,

24 Even us, whom he hath called, not of the Jews only, but also of the Gentiles?

Man was created to live in a covenant relationship with God (Gen. 1:27–28;
27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.

28 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.
2:16–17;
16 And the Lord God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat:

17 But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.
Jn. 17:1–2;
17 These words spake Jesus, and lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, Father, the hour is come; glorify thy Son, that thy Son also may glorify thee:

2 As thou hast given him power over all flesh, that he should give eternal life to as many as thou hast given him.
Rom. 8:28–31;
28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.

29 For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.

30 Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified.

31 What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?


Eph. 1:3–14). There have been two covenants that determine the state of man before God—what are commonly called the covenant of works and the covenant of grace.

3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ:

4 According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love:

5 Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will,

6 To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved.

7 In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace;

8 Wherein he hath abounded toward us in all wisdom and prudence;

9 Having made known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he hath purposed in himself:

10 That in the dispensation of the fulness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him:

11 In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will:

12 That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ.

13 In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise,

14 Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory.



Looks like more than enough , but there is plenty more for anyone who is not to lazy to read and search them out like the Bereans did.
