Uncle Billy finally accepted my invitation to Church this past Sunday. The pastor preached a sermon on the Prodigal Son, and we sang, Just as I Am for a good 20 minutes while the pastor urged anyone who wanted to "accept Jesus into his heart" to come up front. Three people walked the aisle, but uncle Billy didn't budge from the mauve-cushioned pew.
Q: Has God done everything in His power to save uncle Billy?
Q: What does uncle Billy lack that the three others did not?
You have already set this up to do nothing but trash Godly people who desire to reach the lost including "Uncle Billy".
No one is singing "Just as I am" for
20 minutes.
And most pastors do a little more than "urge" people to "accept Jesus into their heart".
You actually understand little to nothing about this whole "Cal/Arm" debate thing....
You
think you do....(and we'll all admit there was some unnecessary emotional manipulation with extreme "Finneyinsm" sometimes) but, you're simply a "cage-stage" Calvinist with little real knowledge.
Until you can act like an adult, and speak reasonably, your threads will be ignored.
That scenario exists only in your mind.
Practically no one
actually does that.
We do "altar-calls" at our Church...we plead for sinners to come to Christ...like Christ and Paul did.
We often wrap up the invitation by verse 3...I think that's about 2 mins. 20 seconds.
Some people like Altar Calls...and respond positively to them...treasure them even, I know I do. Some people don't, and we reach those people equally as effectively.
You are about 25 years behind the times at least.....good luck with absorbing your Calvinist Polemic like a sponge...and simply re-vomiting it for us all to read for the ten-thousandth time. One day, hopefully, you may actually have an original thought for yourself
in lieu of merely parroting tired and ancient Calvinist Polemics we've all heard a million times and it'll feel WONDERFUL!
