In other words, it's your interpretation or nothing. It is exactly that attitude that drives people away from calvinist churches. I know because I've been there. God forbid that anyone challenge the view of the doctrine Nazi. Fortunately, I did my own study and found it wasn't scriptural after...

Exactly. And abortion is murder. In fact, a homicide that kills the unborn child is ruled a double homicide.

Are insults all you have? Is that how you treat your parishioners, too?

Well I darn sure am gonna modify my behavior if there's a speed trap up ahead, so I don't agree.

Honestly I have no idea what you're talking about... I'm not even sure what you mean by law.

Why do you think honoring the spirit means we cease to honor Jesus? Some will say we should not pray to Jesus but only to the father. But it all seems like an argument made from silence, not scripture. Perhaps I don't understand what you are opposing? Is it bizarre activities that people...

I have. Extensively.

I think you are stretching the Word considerably. There's nothing in there about not worshipping the Holy Spirit.

There's a lot more to Romans 9 than the objector. But if you look at what the objector says and how Paul replies, you should be able to see that if calvinists are correct, they are right in line with what the objector says. Because if y'all are right, he is 100% correct. He can't be blamed for...

So we can't resist the Spirit even though scripture says we can. Got it.

Not true. All means all here. No reason to believe otherwise. 36 Believe in the light while you have the light, so that you may become children of light.” When he had finished speaking, Jesus left and hid himself from them. Jesus makes it clear that even the hardened Jews could choose to believe.

I think you are right and wrong if I actually understand what you mean. Law doesn't cause actions, correct. But it certainly can influence decisions that lead to actions. Besides, as far as I can see you haven't given us an alternative.

Then why do we arrest people who murder thier children? According to your logic, God was the reason his people sacrificed their kids to demons, but God says it never entered his mind.

In John 21:6 they intended to helkysai the net but it would not move. Or, suppose a rope is put round the neck of a stubborn mule, and the Jews have just been described [John 6:43] as people who grumble, [complain rather than comply],then here too pulling/drawing may produce no positive effect...

Who is Jon? Not sure who you are talking to.

Who is Willie? Nope, didn't get it from Willie. I have zero problem with God being Sovereign, btw. But that isn't Paul's point. Now, what other O.T. passage does Paul use? …18Then Moses said, “Please show me Your glory.” 19“I will cause all My goodness to pass in front of you,” the LORD...

You aren't paying attention. It doesn't say that God irresistibly destines anyone.

Oh, good grief. You applied it to the reader. That is you and me.

It's the same subject. Read them together.

Again, nothing in the passage about irresistible grace, you read it into the verses. Of course, God draws us all, and that includes those who don't submit. The reason he was emphasizes this to the Jews he was speaking to, was because they had the Torah, they had the teachings of God himself, yet...
