I'm not sure you what you wanted me to say to that, or even if there was some question you were asking me. Perhaps you can clarify. Right, but I did say the Adamic covenant was renewed with Noah. Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth. So really, by speaking about the Noahic covenant...

<chuckles> At this point, I have no idea what you're talking about. I highly doubt I didn't reply, but only didn't reply the way you wanted me to. But, I'm freely willing... see what I did there?... to consider that I in fact didn't reply, and ask you to repeat the question, and this time...

Not his own, really; he credited Augustine as one of the great influences of his understandings of Scripture. Yes, Augustine had his journey to Christ, and his own testimony as to how he was converted to Christ, I'm sure, much as we all do. I mean, yeah, his conversion may even have been as...

I did. And I hope you read my explanation, refuting your silly one. <smile> Oh, well thanks! <smile> And if you want to hold on to your false impressions of Reformed theology ~ which means formed again, in the sense that it came out of restoring Christianity and Christ's Church back to its...

Nope. I'm not going into detail again, because I have several times. Both. Those those whom He foreknew He also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son... And those whom he predestined he also called..." These are Paul's exact words. God did all these things, GodsGrace. And...

Oh, well, for the... I've lost count, so I'll exaggerate a bit here just to make a point... two hundred and thirty-seventh time? LOL! Grace and peace to you.

We Christians ~ Calvinists and Arminians ~ have the prophetic Word more fully confirmed... by God through the work of His Spirit, yes, So, most certainly, no prophecy of Scripture comes from someone’s own interpretation of natural things, but God's. It's His inerrant, infallible, Word, for...

Great! Irrelevant, but great! And... I don't... care. But yeah, good on ya! <smile> Ohhhh, blaming me for your own sin. Hmmmm... Sure, Gosh. I'm cutting off the "grace" part of your moniker, because you're apparently lacking in it... Yes... Ohhhhhhh, he meant something different...

<eye roll> At least you spelled it right this time... LOL! We're together on most things, Gosh. You know that. But not these things we're discussing. But... you know... that's okay. <smile> Nope. See above. Well, I have been, and extensively, and over and over again... <smile> I...

I answered that question previously, but will again. God does not tempt, but rather tests; James is crystal clear on that. And God, by His Spirit, might lead us into temptation ~ to a place where we might be tempted ~ in order to test our faith. This is not, of course, because He thinks we...

A Christian is a Christian... <smile> So, yes, but, well, sometimes ~ sometimes ~ "mainline" is not such a good thing... <smile> I am, on a lot of things... But regarding what we're talking about here... never. <smile> The fact is, Arminianism makes God's sovereignty subservient and even...

Ahhh, so this was in response to my assertion that "the Bible, every time it mentions God's predestination, refers to people, not actions," right? Yes, okay, so that's a softball if there ever was one; let's go right back to Romans 8:29-30 (cited multiple times above) and Ephesians 1:5 and 1:11...

You know, you lose a lot of non-verbal communication (pretty much all of it, really) in this venue. What I said was not a disparagement of you personally at all. But that article I linked for you a while back you flatly refused to even scan, thus, your ignorance... you're ignoring some really...

I think we know why. I do, anyway. <smile> That's not it. Nor is that. Nor is that. <smile> We do. Certainly you don't mean this to be true... you would never intentionally do such things, but really, it's all about pride and self-indignation and even self-justification and...

Like. <smile> Grace and peace to you, Hey You!

Because of your ignorance. According to Arminians. But really, they're accusing Calvinists of doing what hyper-Calvinists inadvertently do. Read the article I linked ~ it's short and to the point and really not an imposition at all ~ and maybe you'll understand. Here it is again... because...

So do I, certainly, along with all good Calvinists and all good Reformed folk. Yes, perish the thought. Absolutely not. Such would be really to call evil good and good evil, which is the unpardonable sin. Grace and peace to you.

In your opinion. Fair enough. I say you're wrong, and you can certainly call that my opinion, and that too is fair enough. Man's beliefs are not God-breathed. Supposing that is really kind of ridiculous. Scripture is God-breathed... meaning He is the One Who said what is contained in...

Interesting! Are you reading it because you agree with it? Or are you just reading it to see what it says? I ask because that confession is considered Calvinistic in its soteriology (view of salvation). And iIt is also theistic in its view of God and covenantal in its view of Biblical...

First of all, I want you to actually hear me say, I do not mean to offend in any way. Having said that... Yes, John Calvin and Jacobus Arminius were two men... <smile> Good; me, either. But one can be influenced by a number of things, people included, without following them... or even being...
