There are plenty of verses for the love of God; and plenty of verses for the reconciling work of Christ at the Cross. I'm becoming unsure where you want me to quote them or not. Or maybe it's not the verses that interest you, but the logic and intellectualizing.

I'm not necessarily against the conclusions that Calvinists come to; I would prefer that they be via Scripture rather than via logic, which is only going to convince some ppl intellectually.

"For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him." (2 Corinthians 5.21)

Indeed. My point is that it's via Scripture rather than via logic on its own.

o_O I'm confused...

The Seven Churches of Asia are so relevant for today! :)

It's always good to stick with the statements of Scripture, rather than concentrate from a logical perspective on any supposed anomalies that men may read into Scripture.

Like, "I believe that total depravity leads to unconditional election which leads to limited atonement/particular redemption, which leads to irresistible grace, which leads to the perseverance of the saint." Maybe true. But we need a lot of Scripture if people are going to be convinced in their...

The message is qualified by 'whosoever believeth'; God is both most loving in sending the Saviour but also holy; in the Cross we see how God maintains His holiness and saves the believing sinner.

I do believe the 5 points are Scriptural. So I would quote Scripture - there is lots. Some will argue logic at length but seemingly not get around to quoting Scripture.

PS: Some Christians after their conversion manage to have an existing tattoo altered. E.g., a woman with the name of an ex-bf 'Ben' (etc.) might with the help of a good tattoo artist have 'Ben' changed to 'Bible', or 'Gary' to 'Grace', etc. It depends of course on what the original tattoo...

While I think that some insights of Reformed theology are interesting and maybe even valid sometimes, what disturbs me is that often appeal is not to Scripture but to schemes of logic.

Clear but cold.

Who wrote it?

The New Testament is full of God in Three Persons. (Matt. 28; John's Gospel, esp. chapters 13 - 17; Romans 8; John's First Epistle, etc.)

No doubt...

Great verse there!

Thank-you for your honest comment, Sir!

So maybe eventually by now he has finally gotten used to the plain fact that he has a mom that is tattooed? :)
