You're going by the "publish" date. No need to be deceptive.

Sure you are. I'm glad you are. Just making the point, that you can live perfectly in pleasing God yet not please many people at all. The appeal to an outward appearance of righteousness if not very convincing given the circumstances..... I believe Paul said much the same thing in..... 1Co...

Do you care about what I say? Thank you. I believe it is a good approach to do the work yourself. After all, I will answer for myself to Jesus Christ. Calvin nor Arminius one will answer for me. I don't even believe that the apostle Paul will answer for me to Jesus Christ. When all of us...

So you know how Calvin actually lived? The only person that ever proved themselves to humanity was Jesus Christ and He was murdered as a sinner by His own people.

I believe in absolute truth but such does not come from the doctrines of men. Calvin was a commentator. He got many things wrong. I could care less what he said. I have everything he used to produce his own work. I do the work myself. I do not rely entirely upon others to do the work for me.

You said "Exactly" to someone who claimed that Calvin only gave names to what the apostles taught. Which demands the question of what value is such a statement? Cause. Effect. You should stick with your answers and not do the "greasy pig" dance when someone answers based upon your clear position.

Because he was too young to know much of anything. When did you start listening to teenagers?

So it took 1500 odd years to define the work of the apostles properly? You only see what you want to see. The apostles didn't need Calvin. No one does.

How old was Calvin when he wrote his "Institutes"? Do you even know? You're not paying attention to what I say.

How many people actually notice?

How do you display your character?

Funny. I can read just as you can. I did my senior thesis on Jonathon Edwards. I've spent a very long time dealing with Calvinism. Calvinism is very simple. Nothing complicated about it at all. In fact, it really is a rather childish theology. It is about as "deep" as you average pothole in the...

No single human being answers to your approval. Your assessment of a proper working faith is just that YOUR assessment. You are not in an authoritative position to demand anything from anyone. Yet, that is exactly what you are doing. You are demanding that others meet YOUR standard. People...

If you haven't ceased from sin, what makes you believe you can demand others serve Christ without sin?

Can you confirm you will accept the "Canons of Dort" as your sole appeal to a proper view of Calvinism? I don't know the times that I've dissected "Dort" to just have a Calvinist say that they didn't agree themselves. In my experience, there really isn't an single authority source of modern...

Just "okay"? You're not "overcoming"?

All human beings. Is there more than one "kind" of human being? You're the one making a "kind" argument when all human beings are sinners. They are all the same "kind". If Jesus Christ died for one sinner, HE died for them all. ALL THE SAME KIND..... A "kind" argue is empty when it comes from...

Deflecting will get you nowhere. I was debated Calvinism with DTS Alumni a very long time ago. None of them claimed I "didn't know" Calvinism. Like others have said. It seems this is the favorite argument of modern Calvinists.... "you don't really know Calvinism".... Adam wasn't impeccable...

Entitlement belongs to the Master. To our Master we stand or fall. He speaks of us. We do not speak of ourselves. Perseverance is good. How is that going for YOU?

I can agree with most of this! Thanks
