Ok what’s the definition of cult your words not the dictionary.
Also from your definition list how Reformed folks are cultists.

In my words, I make the same observation as another on these boards recently made...that Calvinists have a cult-like mentality in that they are hard-headed and will not bend to the truth even when it is clearly in front of (shown to) them.
You've offered up some unsubstantiated accusations. Can you provide a documented example that these took place?
This was originally addressed to Nancy; but I respond: Don't be ridiculous! Nancy has observed the very same things that I have observed in dealing with Calvinists. She does not have to provide documentation as far as I'm concerned, because I believe her, having experienced the same thing when dealing with Calvinists. btw, on the testimony of two or three witnesses shall every word be established...
I hope for a Christian response from you, not the typical ridicule, mockery and dismissal. If one offers up accusations, one must be ready to engage in dialog with the accused and prove their case. If not, the statements are shown to remain untrue libel.
I have never seen Nancy respond to anyone in the spirit of ridicule. Therefore you are the one libeling Nancy while condemning the sin of libel, which you yourself are guilty of.
He lied in the post I responded to.
Which post? (you can go to the # on the top right of any post, and right click on it, and then left click on "Copy link address" and then paste it in your next post).
Aren't you the guy that simply sees a book title and then deems it to be true having never read it, and use it as "proof" and "evidence" of your beliefs? And in addition takes scripture out of context to "prove" YOUR teachings?
Yes, that's you. You have zero integrity and zero credibility.
And aren't you the guy that attacks the messenger instead of dealing with his statements logically? Last time I checked that was a logical fallacy.
Yes, the fact that a book was written on the subject on how Calvinism is weighed against the scales of John 3:16 and is found wanting, is to me evidence that there may be something to that premise. As I was not able to purchase the book I don't know the information that it contained. But in my own studies on Calvinism and the Bible I find that there is something to that premise. And the fact of the book title in question, while I would call it evidence, I never touted it as "proof".
I am not the only one who presents scriptures out of context. If I am not mistaken, it was one of you (even you) who very recently presented a list of references that contained singular verses and did not refer to their contexts (
Calvinism is a Cult). So, what's good for the goose is good for the gander; you are out of line.
A big point is Calvinism the claim is not picks who saved no free will involved by people. Which begs the question of why are Calvinists on this forum trying to convert people to Calvinism when it doesn't matter? When their fate was decided before their birth?
That is a very excellent point,
@CoreIssue. Calvinists are just spinning their wheels because nothing that they do (in terms of evangelizing people into Calvinism) even matters according to their own theology. Therefore if they really believed what they say, they wouldn't attempt to evangelize people into their theology. It doesn't matter; they are just spinning their wheels.
