Who is a hard debater? All I've seen on this thread is two speaking to each other a lot and not exegeting verses and telling me I don't know context. THIS is NOT hard debating... I'm still waiting on that.

I NEVER say someone is not Christian. That is not for me to know. I can have an idea when someone calls themselves Christian and then proceed to degrade their brothers in Christ with insults and mockery, which I see even on this forum. Although I don't know if they're saved...I can say their...

Agreed. God tried different ways to get to man, and ultimately the best and last revelation is Jesus. This is why I don't really believe that revelation is progressive, or I should say, has been progressive since His resurrection and Paul's message of grace and not works of The Law. I find...

What is it?

LOL @Preacher4Truth always tells me I take scripture out of context. (which is not true, of course). Seems like it's going around!

Does your theology teach you to be so condescending to people? You must not know how much God loves His creation,,, us. Paul said to imitate him as he imitates God. Is God happy with how You treat others? Luke 6:31

You've never debunked free will. Philemon 1:14

That is not an answer to my question but your usual and incorrect Proclamation. Which means you are incapable of answering. You seem to be expert at creating strawmen instead of answering. Your theology makes no sense. God is not a God of confusion.

P.S. 2 Thessalonians 2:13 and Romans 8:28 HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH predestinating certain persons to salvataion. Maybe you could use CONTEXT to figure out what they DO mean. God wishes all to be saved. Accept it. John 12:46

My dear man, You don't seem to get the point. I'm not angry. You really should stop speaking to me in such a personal way. I DO NOT AGREE WITH CALVIN... ON ANYTHING. And I always post verses. You claim I don't know context. Fine. Our conversations end here. Perhaps it is YOU that does not...

What you say above is true. Paul made up practically all the theology of Christianity. The idea of Jesus dying for our sins was never really understood before...Paul had to make some sense of Jesus' death. This is also true... The Abrahamic Covenant. The Davidic Covenant. The message of grace...

Would you care to address your understanding of my point in no. 74?

1. If God chooses,,,,then you will never be certain He has chosen you. 2. Most theologians agree that the gift is a combination of faith and salvation... the whole package. It could also be only faith or only salvation. There is debate about this so I don't think WE should be so certain of...

It's rather unfortunate that at times the clay does not want to adhere to the potter's goals.

God is sovereign. God is almighty. God not only HAS but IS a lot of other attributes: Holy Social Creative Loving Merciful Just Family oriented Finite Omnipotent Omnipresent Omniscient All-Good Faithful This is why God was not afraid to give us free will. God is so powerful that we could never...

Oh Helen, Be nice. ONLY God can know who are the chosen ones. We po' folk just have to get ready for the hot place. P.S. I noticed 3 or 4 threads on calvinism. I leave for some time and the whole place falls apart!! LOL

Thanks Enoch. But I know the above.... I really would like an answer from any calvinist on this forum or thread. Do you understand that it makes no sense for God to give curses upon non-obedience IF IT'S HIM that makes us the way we are? IOW, to disobey... I think you understand my...

Jerome didn't know Greek very well and had problems translating the bible from Greek. Can't remember much about how it came about that it was HE that did the translating so I'm reading along every now and then. I have to read up on this eventually, am forgetting a lot. What do you mean that...

This is true in Europe too. Freedom truly is an illusion. And the more we get from the govt, the more we become slaves to it. Nothing is free.

Is the above true? @H. Richard
