    CALVINISM: The height of Spiritual depravity

    Well now, looking at the scriptures you presented without any commenting on them to prove your point, I say you did a very elementary attempt and truly did nothing to help your position. Let me start out by saying, I was never indoctrinated by the calvinism mindset at the beginning of my walk...

    CALVINISM: The height of Spiritual depravity

    Well now, common sense is not that common anymore, and he certainly is proving that to be so with all of his vain jangling. ;)

    CALVINISM: The height of Spiritual depravity

    Is that the best you can do? I do not defend men, or even a sect, Baptist, Presbyterianism, Church of Christ, or, Pentecostalism sects, and a hundred's more that could be named. All you are doing by saying John Calvin was a murderer, ( you are adding unrepentant as though you were there and...

    CALVINISM: The height of Spiritual depravity

    A few things I will point out. First~you asked: Then doesn't it make sense....by this statement you are saying that you have a better way then what God has clearly given testimony to as displaying in wisdom and power in sending his Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, for sin, condemning sin...

    CALVINISM: The height of Spiritual depravity

    Jim, The wording of Robert's statement is a straw man logical argument. Let approach the doctrine the manner in which we read of predestination from God's very own testimony. So, why would not any sincere believer not consider the doctrine of predestination, if we read the above scriptures...

    CALVINISM: The height of Spiritual depravity

    You cannot prove your statement of God calling all human beings. Ezra, of old set an example for us of how we should use the word of God, and you certainly are not doing by misusing John 12; etc. We read distinctly, and labor to give each scripture under consideration its proper sense, and...

    CALVINISM: The height of Spiritual depravity

    Robert, in your post concerning Calvinism that I have read so far, you do nothing more than use logical fallacies~mostly........ Red herring logical fallacy The red herring fallacy is the deliberate attempt to mislead and distract an audience by bringing up an unrelated issue to falsely oppose...

    Why laws, Rules, Religion Promotes Hate for Others

    You do not even make sense. You should define a cult, and then say~all that are outside of the cult are the enemy. After all, True Christianity is in essence a religion. Your ad hominem stating Calvinism is a belief that God hates humanity is a lie. First, many who do not go by the name...

    How did Jesus keep from sinning?

    We fully agree that Jesus was conceived by the Holy Ghost per Luke 1:31-35. Yet, his spirit within him was his own spirit like all flesh and blood have. Being without sin he did have the fullness of the Godhead bodily within him~Colossians 2:9. He was the perfect image of the invisible God...

    CALVINISM: The height of Spiritual depravity

    The spirit in which you are writing does not deserve a response back~you are guilty of what Paul calls vain jangling ~ 1st Timothy 1:6...... a noisy disputer void of using scriptures!

    CALVINISM: The height of Spiritual depravity

    Sir, I'll give you credit more so than the two posters before you, you at least labored to use scriptures, even if not applied properly. Now, to answer your post. In the spirit in which God commands us, in all meekness, and kindness knowing that we could very easily be on the other side...

    CALVINISM: The height of Spiritual depravity

    Sir, I read for myself not what others say about folks~ PLUS I judge a person by reading and listening to him, which is the only fair way of judging folks properly. If I was living in Jesus' day and only listened to the Scribes, Pharisees, and Sadducees, then I would think Christ was just as...

    CALVINISM: The height of Spiritual depravity

    Are you finished spewing out your hatred for the truth? Probably not. But if you have convinced yourself that the doctrine of election of grace is the Theological Sewage that came out of the Black heart of Demonic : John Calvin~then what do you think of Paul's teaching? So, according to your...

    How did Jesus keep from sinning?

    Greetings Scott~Jesus was not "more than"~He was 100% man ~also, it is true, very true, he was 100% God. "More than" either way, would mean that it was not man that fulfilled the law in our stead. God did sin, man did, and it was the perfect man who came and fulfilled the law of God's demands...

    How did Jesus keep from sinning?

    Hobie it seems as though we are following one another to different forums. Jesus Christ was a complex person, with two distinct natures~he truly was man, all man, except his father was not Adam, but God, thereby, he did not have sin in his members as we do~as one poster well said, the virgin...

    CALVINISM: The height of Spiritual depravity

    Read my post~I clearly said that I disagree with Calvin on certain doctrines. I labor to be a noble Berea Christian~Acts 17:11 Actually, John Calvin and Martin Luther both mighty men of God, were confused on Justification~Men like Samuel Richardson and John Brine were much better...

    CALVINISM: The height of Spiritual depravity

    Agreed This is so wrong, not even close. The only person that was put to death by the ruling party of Geneva was Michael Servetus~who went to Geneva to confront John Calvin over the doctrine of the Trinity. He would have never been burnt if he had not went there stirring up trouble. Calvin...

    Jim, please do not tell me that you are listening to Christadelphians folks.

    CALVINISM: The height of Spiritual depravity

    This is a very proud statement coming from man, who is less than vanity! I'm reminded of this scripture when I hear man making such s statement: Sir, I have one word for you~Nay but, O man, who art thou that repliest against God? I do not have to defend God, he is more than able to speak...

    The Gospel of Reconciliation

    Jim, it is not worth very much. The Holy Spirit referred to himself as the Holy Ghost.
