Can a Christian have a demon?

[Dave L]

And you are a clock that works?

Only for those who can tell time.

 

[Lady Crosstalk]

Do you believe Clarence Larkin (Dispy Yoda) when he says so?

Clarence Larkin had some very odd thoughts--some babbling about Egyptian pyramids among other oddities. I am unlikely to endorse any of his thoughts. Name-calling is not apt to win many to your side.

Only for those who can tell time.

I can tell time quite well, thank you very much. But I still reject most of what Calvinism claims to believe.

Most Dispies hold him in high regard. Are they wrong too?

So if the Calvinists are right about God, you hate him?

I am not a "Dispie"--are you a "Calvy"?

Where do you think Dispensationalism came from?

 

[Lady Crosstalk]

So if the Calvinists are right about God, you hate him?

You Calvinists are so antagonistic. Why bother to argue if everything is already set in stone? How do you make the leap to "all non-Calvinists hate God"?

I'm only pointing out what thin ice you are on.

 

[Lady Crosstalk]

Where do you think Dispensationalism came from?

I think it is their way of looking at the Bible. While I think that it is clear that God acts in different ways with different people groups, I would NOT call myself a "Dispensationalist" so what do I care about whether its origins are legitimate to you?

So truth contradicts itself depending on the group?

 

[Lady Crosstalk]

I'm only pointing out what thin ice you are on.

And what would that be, in your estimation?

 

[Dave L]

And what would that be, in your estimation?

If the Calvinists are right about God, you appear to hate him.

 

[Lady Crosstalk]

So truth contradicts itself depending on the group?

Not at all--truth is truth. But do you really mean to say that God has always treated Gentile Christians in exactly the same way as He has treated Israel?

God has only one people, believers, and he is no respecter of persons.

 

[Lady Crosstalk]

If the Calvinists are right about God, you appear to hate him.

And what if the Calvinists are NOT right about God? Would that shake your whole world?

You cannot have biblical faith in free will. Yet that is what people trust for their salvation. It is idol worship.

 

[Lady Crosstalk]

God has only one people, believers, and he is no respecter of persons.

You dodged the question. I repeat, are you saying that God has treated Israel and Gentile Christians in exactly the same way?

 

[Lady Crosstalk]

I do not have faith in free will. I have faith in the "author and finisher of my faith".

Yes.
