As I have said, the "reformed" just don't understand what the Bibe says, and what they believe, Acts 17:30 is very clear
And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now COMMANDS all men every where (the entire human race) to repent
They don't even understand the English language, that to COMMAND, is NOT the same as EXPECTING!
They keep on digging themselves into a deep pit, with their UNBIBLICAL NONSENSE!
I know language is hard for you. Let me help you out...
