I don't remember if I answered to this late last night. Certainly he didn't mean the Early Church Fathers because none of them believed in predestination. (pre 325AD would be considered the ECFs by most theologians). You said that Calvin said that God chose the Fathers. I'd like to stop talking...

Yes. It does have a lot of pages. And the more one reads, the more distressful it becomes. If you want to know what was REALLY said, you, too, should be reading the institutes. I went from one denomination to another. Before doing so, I made sure I knew the doctrine of the one I was going...

No. I'm a scardy cat. And really worried about changing my mind. Do you? I'd love an arm thingy...

The bible says He's fair. It states that God is just. Romans 3:26 And Romans 3:28 tell us that man is justified by faith. We are saved by God's grace THROUGH the instrument of faith... Gods' grace falls on all -- it rains on the just and the unjust, but not all accept God's grace. Those that...

Everything that's good is bad for you. Proverbs 1:1 JK

I don't want to derail,,,but I never did. Till now....there's no other explanation for it... Back To Topic!

Don't think I have this all the time.... Once in a while.

That's wonderful ! It's great when a person could come off meds. Congrats!

Yes. Plus, I'm afraid of everything!

Can't be a fake. Watch this if you care to...

You understand a difference between: DO IT WILLINGLY and OF YOUR FREE WILL ?? What's the difference? If I'm doing something WILLINGLY, I am doing it of my own free will. From Adam through to Revelation, man has had free will. Did Adam have a choice to eat the fruit? Choice is a connotation of...

Right. Light hair. Blue eyes. Sounds like Jesus alright!! LOL Funny you should bring this up. I never thought much about the Shroud of Turin. I watched something on YouTube a few days ago, and I think I'm beginning to believe it might be real. I'll send you the link but only if you want it...

Why would Paul have to say it? Jesus said it: John 3:17-21 17“For God did not send the Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world might be saved through Him. 18“He who believes in Him is not judged; he who does not believe has been judged already, because he has not believed in...

Yes. It does state that. And I will look for it. In the meantime, for those who are not familiar with Calvin's teachings: The predestination by which God adopts some to the hope of life, and adjudges others to eternal death, no man who would be thought pious ventures simply to deny….By...

If it's biblical, maybe you'd like to quote some scripture? Saying it's biblical does not make it so. Your theology claims man has no free will. Could you post some scripture that shows this? Could you comment on Philemon 1:14? Paul clearly states that he wishes P to use his own FREE WILL...

Neither F... what I meant by the story is that we're introduced to ideas a little bit at a time and before you know it, they're accepted and, even with bad ideas, it's always too late to go back once everyone has accepted. For instance, here in Italy we're been having a lot of Muslims migrate...

How does a person just come off diabetes medicine?

He took lives and even tortured people that didn't agree with him. But we shouldn't concentrate on him...many religious persons did horrible things to other humans throughout history.... We should really concentrate on what he taught that actually changes the nature of God. And why some today...

You could have some fried chicken AFTER your blood work.... :D

Yes. This is how humans are. Do you know the story about the frog? So there was this frog. Somebody placed it in cold water in a pot, over a flame. It felt fine. The water started to get a little warm, but it felt very soothing. After a while the water was starting to feel too hot and the...
