    John Calvin and Calvinism.

    PS It doesn't matter what OT passage is being referred to in John 3:16 because the bible does not have conflict in its message. Isaiah is referred to, Jeremiah is referred to, Kings... anywhere where it is stated that the name of the Lord is called upon. Joel 2:32.....EVERYONE WHO CALLS ON THE...

    We're not under bondage of the Law... But we still have to obey the Moral Law... the 10 commandments, which Jesus narrowed to 2... Love God Love your neighbor as yourself. This covers all the commandments Jesus gave us.

    Some calvinists think of themselves as being superior in intellect than other Christians. Some think of themselves as being superior because they can accept a God that other Christians cannot accept. And some think they are superior because they know the correct doctrine of the Christian faith...

    John Calvin and Calvinism.

    Well Pinseeker, to read the above you sound like an orthodox Christian. I'd like to address some points you brought up in post no. 231 (?) Here are the five questions Enoch asked you... 1. Was Adam the progenitor of the human race? Absolutely 2. Are ALL humans subject to sin and death because...

    Under true -Christianity they can. Only according to Calvin they cannot. John 3:16 I know you misunderstand it...but maybe if we post it enough times?

    Have you heard the good news JF? We are not under the law We are under grace... Does grace nullify the Law? May it never be! Romans 3:31 Jesus said He did not come to abolish the Law but to fulfill it. Matthew 5:17-18 He also said our righteousness must surpass that of the Scribes. Matthew...

    Jesus said to be baptized. All believers should be baptized. Mark 16:16 16“He who has believed and has been baptized shall be saved; but he who has disbelieved shall be condemned. Matthew 28:19 Jesus said: 19“Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of...

    Do you use scripture? Posting your opinion does not scripture make.... Plus, you should find out what sealed means. Baptism is what seals us. We are sealed in baptism. However, many that are baptized, later fall away from the faith they had. 1 Timothy 4:1 Now the Spirit expressly says that in...

    John Calvin and Calvinism.

    Would YOU be willing to tell us ignorant folk what it is we do not understand about calvinism? WHAT do we attribute to Calvin that he did not teach? Thanks.

    John Calvin and Calvinism.

    Hi FH I'm trying to figure out if I'm spouting the garbage...I also am reading garbage, but it's from the other side! Sorry 'bout that. It's really difficult to accept that God has the character that is espoused by Calvinism. I've read some of his work. What do you think those on my side do not...

    Agreed on Geneva... History of Geneva First noted as a Roman settlement in 58 B.C., Geneva quickly grew into an important trading town in the heart Europe during the Middle Ages. Due to its strategic locale, the city was a major target of conquest and changed hands several times before...

    Again, What is it about calvinism that you think I don't understand? I'm reading along and find that others have also been told they don't understand it. Please state what it is you believe we do not understand... Thanks.

    "Salvation" is the gift of Eternal Life - it's FOREVER.

    Where does scripture say we could believe but not be converted? Repentance is necessary for salvation. To repent means to change direction and go the other way. I also believe conversion may not be a once in a lifetime happening, but continues throughout our lives. This would be sanctification...

    I think you're writing to me. You didn't tag me. Predestinated is the word calvinists use. Check it out. I will reply to the above in the morning. Just saw it.
