    Sorry, I apologize, I did not know you were girl.

    You sounded sexist

    John Calvin and Calvinism.

    I thought you were not Calvin. You sound Calvin. Those women folk should know their place and keep their mouth shut. We Calvinists keep our women submissive and quiet.

    John Calvin and Calvinism.

    What you are saying is, if God has the choice of everything.....He came up with one stupid plan of evil and misery.

    John Calvin and Calvinism.

    Not true. Christ did not say, And the elect are predestined to believe. So we will sit here in Bethany and watch it happen. No there was an urgency to go and spread the Gospel and people had a choice. Again Calvinism is a horror of a religion. God has the power to do evil, but that does mean...

    John Calvin and Calvinism.

    This is exactly what the Jehovah's Witness and People's Temple and Voodoo Priests say. And probably what the Branch Davidians said.

    John Calvin and Calvinism.

    Calvinism is a absurd concept...and I do have a sense of humor....but that line stops when it is a religion that stands so firm and so determined to blaspheme God.

    John Calvin and Calvinism.

    depraved.....morally corrupt; wicked. My main issue is with the word. In the OT people missed the mark....definition of the word sin. Were the Apostles depraved before they met Christ? Probably not. Good people....good Jews....good Jews that chose Christ....Good Pagans that chose...

    John Calvin and Calvinism.

    This one we can discuss.....predestination as a power of God used limitedly.....Predestination as controlling people....double predestination as complete reality is pre-orchestrated as a play every snowflake predestined before creation. This is called clairvoyance, not predestination. No we...

    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...

    That is spell check. Irresistible grace

    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.
  16. Grailhunter

    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...
