Anyone here can write to anyone BF...it's an open board. And I don't know why @Titus bothers with you.

Bread....it doesn't matter what PRAY means. The dead will not hear you because they are not omnipresent. And please don't tell me they're not dead - you must surely know our soul is eternal. And Macabees.... Even the Jews did not put Macabees into their Tanak because, apparently, they didn't...

Not many of us left Amigo... :(

Hope you reread what I posted from the Institutes. Maybe a 2nd reading with my explanation will help you to understand what Calvin believed and wrote. Or Maybe you don't LIKE what he wrote... Unfortunately his is the belief system you follow. You should accept it. If you want to be...

Doesn't sound like proof Pin. Prove I mischaracterize Calvin or stop saying it.

Calvin had his very own interpretation.... begun by a gnostic Christian from the 5th century that spent 10 years in a gnostic sect called Manechaeism. Check it out.

Predestination is ALWAYS HOW or PURPOSE. Those God FOREKNEW (NOT PREDESTINATED) He predestinated to be conformed to the image of His Son. HOW .... predestined to be conformed.... NOT WHO. God calls into being.... Those whom God FOREKNEW He CALLED into being like His Son. Not even here is it...

PROVE that I'm mischaracterizing calvinism. IF you can.

I agree Ronald. But those that post about Faith Alone mean that ONLY faith is needed for salvation. They usually are against works of any kind. Right. Correct! It's a good interpretation Ronald. I also like what the ending states....Jesus says WHO will not be allowed into heaven: YOU WORKERS...

Hi LuxMundi Just saw the above. Not only did God make man out of dust... He also made the dust! Reminds me of the joke of the scientist that tells God He is no longer needed because man has learned to make life. God tells the scientist....fine...go and make life. So the scientist bends down...

This is the situation and I agree wholeheartedly. Again...agreed. I don't think he's thinking straight but it's not passing this time around. He's been through this before. She's sorry that, in hindsight, she didn't get herself either emotionally or financially ready for this. She said she...

I can't go all the way back so I'm just responding to the above. You're right that belief alone will not save a person. I know persons that believe God exists,,,but they are not saved. Two points: 1. BELIEVE in the greek has a very specific meaning. It does NOT mean to believe mentally but...

I kind of doubt it....but who can know for sure? Only him and only her. I think, my opinion, that his depression has a lot to do with this.

She's living in Berlin Pepper. SHE doesn't even know what the law is. She MUST go to a different atty because this one is too lax. And, whatever the law is regarding the removal of a spouse from health insurance... I'll have to say that no matter what this shows a flagrant disregard for a woman...

Very good insight Chandlere ! Yes indeed,,,,God values us exactly because we are made in God's image ! Great catch. Thanks! PS. God even protected Cain even though he had committed murder.

Agreed on all. My comment was that to please (or be saved, can't remember right now) God we must believe in Him and obey Him. Every item on your list above requires OBEDIENCE. So, yes, agreed.

Jay,,,,my opinion is that EVERYTHING that is going on in the world these days is a God problem... or, can we say, a LACK OF GOD in our society.

Actually, we're not in communication with him. But he removed her from the policy,,,so we have to assume that he could. Oh no! Not at all. We'll have to wait and see. Each European country has their own rules. I'd be shocked too. Thanks Victory. That's all we could do.

Of course it happened when he joined the army! Don't have to be a psychologist to know that. My friends that I'm talking about lives in Berlin...she's Italian from London but is in Germany due to his work. Anxiety is a real thing....most think it's some kind of emotional instability ....but...

Thanks Pin. It's so pleasant to converse with you... which is why I do it so seldomly.... Ad hominems come along when doctrine cannot be defended. And you use a lot of ad hominems. Stop being a Calvinist if you don't like what the teach. You'll have to prove this because I don't agree and...
