    John Calvin and Calvinism.

    Ok then, we are on the same page of Calvinist beliefs. This is what most people that have a moderate understanding of Calvinism....know. And I totally disagree with Calvinist beliefs. The reason I am not interested in your scriptures is because I know several cults that can quote scriptures...

    John Calvin and Calvinism.

    Let me show you what honesty looks like. If you ask me if I believe in free-will?.....the answer will be yes. If you ask me if I believe in total predestination or limited predestination or no predestination at all?.....the answer, very little predestination. If you ask me if I believe in...

    John Calvin and Calvinism.

    Sounds like a whole lot of being evasive. Not looking for a debate on why Calvinists believe what they believe. I am not ignorant on Calvinist beliefs and anyone can read Calvin's writings and or the Westminster confession. The only wiggle room is that.....not everyone believes the doctrine of...

    John Calvin and Calvinism.

    Reprobates in relation to Calvinism.... Calvinist theologian Wayne Grudem defines reprobation as “the sovereign decision of God before creation to pass over some persons, in sorrow deciding not to save them, and to punish them for their sins, and thereby to manifest his justice.”[1] The doctrine...

    John Calvin and Calvinism.

    Good people to Heaven and bad people to hell.....no universalism in my beliefs or the Bible. Be good and do good.

    John Calvin and Calvinism.

    Not looking for scripture.....what are the beliefs of Calvinism? They are yes or no questions. You are not the only Calvinist that wants to say that people do not understand Calvinism. But there is not much to misunderstand. And I am not addressing variances of Calvinism....not that we cannot...

    John Calvin and Calvinism.

    Is what you are saying deceptive. Is it a shell game. Speak oh toothless wonder! Talking out your tail because your mouth knows better? Distort....LOL...Calvinism has been around a while....not much to misunderstand. Say it like it is. John Calvin had his limitations but hey, not to uncommon...

    John Calvin and Calvinism.

    There are people that consider Calvinism as a cult. In the truest sense it is not normally practiced as a cult. But there are issues that make Calvinists "prown" in some cases to apply their religion as a cult. Convincing a mother that they must be submissive by direction of the Word of God...

    John Calvin and Calvinism.

    Again Calvin's failure was that next step of the mind, which was all internal capacities. I have tried to explain it different ways but it truly is the cliché ....He could not see the forest for the trees. It is psychosomatic. People that get sucked in to this belief, have the same problem...

    John Calvin and Calvinism.

    Yes that is true....but non of that is predestined.....we choose to love God.....we choose to be obedient. No robot Christians. Free-will rules!

    John Calvin and Calvinism.

    God did not create robots.... And your rhetoric, I have heard before....nearly word for word.....from cultists, attempting to recruit.

    At least you are consistent. Consistently wrong.

    John Calvin and Calvinism.

    I guess I was put on the predestination list for worshiping the Puppet Master

    Father.....children of God
  16. Grailhunter

    John Calvin and Calvinism.

    Remember that! YES.....AND I WILL OBEY! I WILL WORSHIP GOD BECAUSE I AM FORCED1 I have the free will to disagree with you. Human....robot.....rabbit....what purpose does it serve for God to have forced worship?....what does it mean to us to be forced to worship?

    John Calvin and Calvinism.

    I have literally discussed this with you before. If I try to describe my education, people think I am bragging. You cannot go to college to study such things and not study the reformers.....LOL Predestination as a reality can be suggested with the same rational that Yahweh is a sadistic...

    John Calvin and Calvinism.

    No one that knows anything about John Calvin thinks he was stupid or uneducated.....He just produced a horrible religion. And his idea of theocracy was messed up too. The Oh, people just understand him does not fly. Of course he was not responsible for the morphing of his religion....but it did...
