? Well if you want my perspective, I don't know if you're young or old, male or female, or work in a chocolate factory or a church. There's a fairly good chance you might be a 12 year old girl with glitter on her phone, creating a persona here, in between giggling with her girlfriends. So...

Oh, I always enjoyed a good debate with my agnostic friend at work. We freely insulted each other and were better friends for it, but I know what you mean.

I sometimes wonder if some people who say we should be Christlike have read some of the things Christ said. It reminds me of one pastor who was criticized because he called some of his fellow soldiers perverts. He said "Well, you are right, and I want to be Christlike, so from now on, I will say...

Jesus did all of the above to quite a few religious leaders.

I give respect to those who earn respect. I have not seen that respect for my theology by Calvinists on this thread. I have friends who are calvinist. I respect them, because they aren't into mocking those who disagree with them.

You know, my uncle was a minister, one of the best I've ever known, and had great sense of humor, and loved to joke around. It's a shame some take themselves too seriously for that.

Sunday is not the Sabbath.. there is no Sabbath as such. Do you keep the Sabbath the same way the Jews of that time did? There is still a Sabbath rest In Christ, but it's not about a certain day of the week... Although traditionally most of us pick Sunday, as a day to set aside to worship. that...

Well, it was an honest question... I really want to know.

Oh now you're God's anointed? Stop it, this is too funny!

You'll find their Calvinism goes out the window when it comes to evangelizing. It's only after people have been Christian's for a while that they dump that load of manure on them.

Yes Grace is unmerited favor... Believing does not merit salvation, but it is a condition God has set. That's his prerogative.

Maybe you should actually read what I write instead of spouting nonsense.

Yeah, you tell him. He shouldn't call himself preacher for truth if he can't tell the truth.

No, salvation is accomplished only by God. Don't be ridiculous. No one saves themselves. If you had been paying attention to what I have said many times.. instead of just skimming, there are conditions we must meet before God does the saving work. This is clear from literally hundreds of verses.

Nope, everyone is exactly what it says and means. That's not universalism, because obviously not everyone will choose to receive the light. Jesus said he who seeks will find, he who knocks, the door is opened to. We have to seek more light as we become aware of it. Many will choose to remain in...

What is it the keeps bringing you back to a Christian forum?

Oh, good grief. I was making fun of you, not the verse. How in the blue blazes do you get speaking against the Holy Spirit from a joke about you wearing a sword in walmart? You really need to chill.

No one is arguing that we are saved by our own wills. Huge, predicable straw man. There are two choices: God is a tyrant who forcibly and irresistibly, through mental and spiritual rape, makes some his prisoners, and some his enemies. Or: God is a God of love who sacrificially gives his life...

Wrong question. Where does it say you aren't? Again, any person reading this with any reading comprehension at all it going to see a choice to receive or reject him. The only way to get around it is to have pre conceived idea that God works in some way that is contrary to the plain words of the...

I've read it though multiple times. Sometimes words mean what they say, you know. That doesn't even make sense. He reserves the right to do what? If everything is decreed, I can't so much as hit one key if God has not decreed it irresistibly from before time. So, there might as well be strings...
