Well, if you and SG were in disagreement, he is saying it about at least one of you.... is he not? I know he may have meant that just the atmosphere of "ignorance" is to blame.... but just throwing that one word out there like that doesn't cut it.

"Ignorance!!!" Why do we hide behind claiming that is just an innocent descriptive word? It is deliberately meant to be derogatory, and I think we really should watch the way we throw it around.

I will plainly state that Soverign Grace has (IMO) an obsession with Conspiracies..... but I think you are way out of bounds to call her words "ignorant." She is far from being an ignorant person. "No", don't try the old game of saying you only meant that she lacked awareness, or some such...

I acquired and read, and reread two more times... and am in the process of reading The Institutes now for the fourth time, solely because I thought there has to be some great teaching somewhere in there for so many people to idolize this magnificent man. It has been the very reading of his own...

Why would people who are already Christians expect the Gospel to be preached to them? That is what they, themselves, are supposed to be taking to unsaved people in their sphere of life outside the walls of the church.

I think the most glaring and striking thing about Calvin's negativism in The Institutes, is his vividly open and totally utter disgust for anyone who is not one of the Chosen Ones like him... the "reprobates", as he impudently and insolently refers to us. I mentioned earlier somewhere here...

I answer questions that are worthy of being answered.

You obviously have no idea what The Patriot Guard did, do you? We were not there to tell the Westboro Mob that they couldn't believe as they did. We were there to block them from telling others that THEY had to feel the same way.

I rode with The Patriot Guard. What did you do to stand against Phelps? No matter how wrong I feel you or Phelps is, God gave you both the right to make your own choices about what His word says.

Huh? What's one got to do with the other?

I found this fascinating. Verse Comparison – The Passion Translation

Of course that is YO. LOL

Oh, PLEASE don't. I think you are right where you belong. LOL

I also think when we get a bit overly enthusiastic about "dying on the hill" of defending an exact rendering of any particular Biblical account.... it might be advisable to remember the variances in the different Apostles' telling of identical occurrences. Especially as it is so obvious in the...

I thought people here might not be giving you a fair chance, but I see I owe them an abject apology. You don't even seem to be capable of comprehending what I posted only one post previously.

Oh well, maybe you will understand one day.
