The post is correct. You can't accept the truth. You should follow the truth,,, Wherever it takes you. It might just get you to a God that loves His creation. Enough to have His Son die for them.

Amen!

RC Sproul, according to his biography, went into the reformed faith kicking and screaming because it made no sense to him. I'm not reading it but saw the quote somewhere. If I could remember where, I'll post it. Also, modern preachers soften the message because it's just plain cruel. How...

Enoch, The Institutes state that God chooses the saved and the reprobate. The Institutes 3.21.5 By predestination we mean the eternal decree of God, by which he determined with himself whatever he wished to happen with regard to every man. All are not created on equal terms, but some are...

That last sentence is so prideful of you. Just like most calvinists are. You stated that Matthew 7:23 means that those that are depending ON THEIR WORKS will end up in hell. So do you now understand that THE LAWLESS will end up in hell? Jesus made it clear who will go where. Take John 5:28...

Did I say that? Billions? You must have read the same systematic theology books as others have that say the same thing. We all deserve hell. Or we all deserve heaven. What would a JUST God do? Explain what justice is and then tell us how God will be just in either case.... And please don't...

Rudometkin, Our salvation is secure in our life in Christ. Agreed. Just want to say that you misunderstand Matthew 7:23 Please notice WHO will be banished by Jesus: depart from me, you workers of lawlessness.’ Those that have faith and do good deeds/works are doing what they're supposed to be...

You never replied to my post no. 343 You NEVER really do...

PS, I really think you don't know calvinism... or you've created your own version of it. I'm not going to ask how you learned about it, but you need to start over... or come over to our side ! Where God Loves His creation (us) and wishes for all men to be saved IF they follow His conditions, as...

PS, you were going along good there until you got to your middle sentence. You CANNOT call yourself a calvinist and state that God ALLOWS evil but does not CAUSE it. ALL Christians believe this, but it's not what the reformed or Calvin taught. @Rudometkin posted for you what calvin taught. You...

Catholics understand the scripture as we do, except for a couple of passages, both having to do with purgatory. I'd say their problem is having some teaching that goes BEYOND what scripture states... I don't know if this puts them in the same category as the church of JC of LDS. I don't think so...

This is silly nonsense LL. God has the same thought process as we do! REALLY!!! And then I'm told that, No, calvinists are not superior in attitude... YOUR attitude actually shows that you think we're pretty stupid. 1. All Christians know we don't have God's brain and can't think like He does...

This is an interesting question. Why would someone believe in a God that hates His creation enough to send the majority to hell? That programs us like a bunch of robots? Who will never get any true love from us because true love is given freely and not programed. Why would this god even create...

See what old age does to ya? Can't even tell the difference between a boy and a girl anymore! :eek:

50! Oh...I remember those days... :) You're a young chick...!

I liked @Mayflower 's post no. 49. She explained it well. We're all different, but it seems as though sinning should become less. This is no place to discuss this personally, but it, maybe, should be looked into. Not that God stops loving us...He knows our problems even though others don't.

Hi Mayflower, I looked up the definition for repentance. It's a dictionary definition. In theology REPENTANCE means to change direction. It did also say this in your link: REPENTANCE adds the implication of a resolve to change. This means a change in the direction one is taking. A change of...

IF you're in perfect accord with @Rudometkin then you'll have to accept the fact that God causes EVERYTHING that happens, including murder, child abuse, disease, etc. Your top teacher/preachers, theologians, do admit to this BTW... and with no shame.

Many times I'm told I don't understand Calvinism (the reformed faith). The reason is clear from your post above to the other member. I must say that you're the one who is correct in what calvinism states. I mean, if you're going to be a calvinist, be a calvinist !

You, like many others do not comprehend Pslam 51:5 What does IN SIN DID MY MOTHER CONCEIVE ME mean to YOU? That the baby sinned? Or that the mother sinned? Maybe you could read some commentaries on this that are not calvinist. Will of decree and Will of command is also known as the Interior...
