I know of no such thing as biblical Calvinism--only biblical Christianity. Bible verses can be amassed to support the most demonic doctrines imaginable, so proof texts are not, in and of themselves, proof of God's intentions toward the human family. The preponderance of biblical evidence...

The letter kills only when it is the made to be the means of justification.

The fact that the law of God is attacked from every side is proof that His Spirit has been grieved away from us. John 4:23 KJV: But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him. John 15:26...

95% of today's church activities would continue if the Holy Spirit were removed from us... In the early church 95% of all her activities would have stopped if the Holy Spirit were removed. Billy Graham

It's a good start, though. :)

Hey, It's not like I was stating it as an Absolute Truth. GOTCHA! :p The first time around was a typo. Stupid Autocorrect :mad:

Just asking. You can't really hide anywhere. The recording angels (and Anonymous) are always watching. :D

You're much too kind, my friend. If good has been done, we know there is none good but God, AMEN? Your presence here has done much to encourage me, as well. Up high! I just posted in the Calvinism thread and the notifications are rolling in already. lol

Personalities of preachers aside (since the truth is true even when evil people say it): Arminianism is a slightly flawed human distillation of soteriology. But 5-point Calvinism in it's modern interpretation is a theological train wreck. The devotion given to fanatical loyalty to it requires...

Ouch! :D I think he means well, J, my brother. I guess I just like to give everyone who's not downright mean or deceitful the benefit of the doubt. Do you use Google translate at all? I can't be sure, but I think it's pretty good. Maybe not up to snuff for theology, tho. Theologians ruin...

I didn't -like- this post because I think you don't belong here. - (lol) I try to -like- every post with which I do not categorically disagree, but I'm kind of lazy about it. I want to encourage people to participate and let them know their posts are being read and appreciated. :) By the way...

It's not that I didn't understand what you said. It's not that deep. It runs along the lines that those who say they abide in Him ought themselves to walk, even as He walked and that He spake as one having authority, not like the scribes and Pharisees. That's a simple enough concept to grasp...

Wise words, as is common to you, but however technical the difference may be, we are told that we can "know" by the fruits, which does not necessarily constitute "judgment." I say this after remembering the importance you recently placed on the meaning of the word "faith," anticipating the...

It is a mistake to ascribe motive to those who do not understand the claims of the law. How could we who don't even know our own hearts know theirs? Every person's case is different, even if only slightly. There are numerous reasons that people reject strict adherence to regulations. I've seen...

You're very kind, Brother, but what I am is a great and mighty sinner before the LORD. I know that in me dwelleth no good thing. Daniel is one of the only main characters in the Bible who is portrayed without sin. And yet, His testimony is thus: 4And I prayed unto the LORD my God, and made my...

Sis, Honestly, Why ask "why" with God? Only as an example to mankind, as your question seems to support/suggest (He must have done it for some reason). This is, at best, an argument from silence, since it is clear that other commandments were known but not enumerated in the time prior to the...

Dear, dear Sister Linda, The reason Sabbatarian Christians appear to stress the importance of the 4th commandment is that virtually no one objects to the relevance of the other 9 when addressed individually. The number of Christians who claim that Jesus Himself is our spiritual Sabbath rest is...

AMEN, my friend!
