    Strawman. I never said that.

    John Calvin and Calvinism.

    I've told you multiple times. You have replaced God's choice in Jesus Christ with the claim that God chose YOU.

    John Calvin and Calvinism.

    I've already answered you with the Scriptures. You rejected them. Not me. Here. Read them again. Rom 1:16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. Rom 1:17 For therein is the...

    John Calvin and Calvinism.

    I don't believe you. I believe the Scriptures. You're either purposely lying or you don't know any better. Isa 42:1 Behold my servant, whom I uphold; mine elect, in whom my soul delighteth; I have put my spirit upon him: he shall bring forth judgment to the Gentiles. Isa 42:2 He shall not...

    John Calvin and Calvinism.

    You claim that God chose you, individually. That is ridiculous. You're a nobody just like everyone else in this world. God chose His Son Jesus Christ. When you claim that God chose YOU... you are replacing Jesus Christ.

    John Calvin and Calvinism.

    You're just proving you don't know the doctrine of the Holy Trinity. Intrinsic qualities of Divinity is a important aspect in defending the Orthodox teaching of the Hypostatic Union. Don't rely upon others to believe for you. Know it yourself. That is how I recognize false teachings. I know the...

    Laugh all your want. Enjoy it while you can. Jas 4:9 Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep: let your laughter be turned to mourning, and your joy to heaviness. Jas 4:10 Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up.

    John Calvin and Calvinism.

    Funny how you claim such a choice would make me "higher than God" when you claim that God chose YOU instead of Jesus Christ. Those that reject Jesus Christ are fools. There is no merit in accept a gift offered to all. We rely upon the work of Jesus Christ. A drowning man crying out for help...

    God can do anything. That doesn't mean He did what you're claiming. False Equivalence on your part.

    No. God is too smart to force people to love Him and too smart to arbitrarily pick YOU.

    John Calvin and Calvinism.

    No. That is not what God said. That is what Calvin said and you're following Calvin. Not God.

    John Calvin and Calvinism.

    Divine Nature is Intrinsic value. To say the Incarnation has no "bearing" on what we are discussing is ridiculous. I'm sure you want to avoid this fact at all cost. You are devaluing Jesus Christ and replacing His wonderous position with your sinful self.

    John Calvin and Calvinism.

    That is "double talk" from you. If you really believed this, then you wouldn't arbitrarily claim election in yourself to the exclusion of your fellowman that is just like you.

    It is amazing how you claim I'm repeating myself and yet you're giving different answers to my questions..... You're reluctantly having to deal with the choices of your theology.

    John Calvin and Calvinism.

    God chose Jesus Christ. It is the work of Jesus Christ that display Grace to humanity. All of humanity.

    John Calvin and Calvinism.

    Jesus Christ became flesh and dwelt among us. Did you forget the Incarnation? The Hypostatic Union? Did Jesus Christ Incarnate merit the favor of God in the Atonement?

    John Calvin and Calvinism.

    Listen. I know what the end of that answer is for a Calvinist. I heard it decades ago. "Why" is nothing more to you that the "Good Pleasure of His Will"..... Yet, you say that God takes pleasure in choosing sinful things.
  18. P

    John Calvin and Calvinism.

    I repeat myself when you ignore what I say. Do you deny that God chooses GOOD THINGS. To say God chose YOU as a sinner, is to say that God chose a BAD THING...... God didn't chose any sinner. God chose His sinless Son. Your mistake is clear.

    John Calvin and Calvinism.

    Let the Scriptures declare the answer.... Rom 1:16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. Rom 1:17 For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as...

    John Calvin and Calvinism.

    Not at all. What is the means of your salvation? God's choice in you or God's choice in Jesus Christ?
