I wonder what makes a Calvinist so hateful?. Could it be because there is no love in Calvinism. If there is no love in Calvinism then God isn't in it. How sad things are when there sarcasm runs wild and they show there true nature. How they hate anyone who believes the truth.

I don't see my response as being hateful, but IMO your priorities are still reversed.

The command to "love God with all your heart, mind, soul and strength" comes first, after which one is to "love your neighbor as yourself." THe former requires one to embrace and delight in truth, and one of the greatest truths is the sovereignty of God. I am therefore offended when I see others elevate man above God, whether intentionally or unwittingly, and all the more so when Christians -- who are supposed to know better -- abuse scripture in order to elevate man above God.

If the Christ could not sin, what is it that makes him worthy? He is worthy because he resisted temptation, refused to sin, remained pure and holy, and carried out the Work of God that was assigned him. </font>[/QUOTE]{Italics are mine}

Brother you are leaving out the diety of Christ in this statement. Because of this diety He could not have possibly sinned.
