Yes, angels are awesome and many times show up to help people in difficult situations. Imagine how Mary felt when the Angels told her the good news.

But what about all the commandments from the Old Testament and the commandments of Jesus that he left with the Apostles? What do I do with those? Put them in the shredder?

I dunno dude but The whole morality of this existence just goes out the window with this doctrine. I’m just a sinner who is seeking God. I don’t think of myself as the chosen because that makes me a spoiled child , completely Irresponsible of my actions.

I’m sorry but are we blaming the Jews for the Holocaust? Is that what we’re doing here? Am I reading this right? Why would anyone say such a thing to such a horrible and low event in human history? Is it because the trauma and Evil is so great and we’re unable to process it?

I’m sorry but I don’t think you’re reading what I’m saying or appreciating the gravity of your doctrine and its lack of moral consequences. If God has chosen me … that’s great, but this means that I’m still going to do what I want. If he has condemned me … I’m still going to do what I want...

There are so many things I want to say and I don’t think I’m able. There are so many errors and assumptions in your doctrine such as “we are judging God” or “I don’t like God being in control”. I mean … those are blinding and fueling you into taking this position that we have no free will in...

I didn’t know about Calvinism until yesterday and you can see that I’m a bit shocked as to why you follow this man (Calvin). I can also see that you’re not able to view things outside of your doctrine because you’re conflating Universalism with the Choice to seek out God. According to...

Well, this is what I’ve been trying to tell you my friend by using the moral argument and saying that your doctrine is very depressing. But let me try again, maybe it will make you think about how similar this doctrine is to atheism. Calvinism says that only a few are chosen and that Jesus...

Well…good luck in your journey with Calvin my friend. This has been illuminating for me. If I believed in Calvin I might as well be an Atheist.

Okay, so you pick a verse and build a church around it. I’m gonna pick another verse and build another church around it. SMH

Welcome aboard brother.

Salvation? But where is salvation here my friend? This is as bad as the atheists arguing that the universe came from nothing or that we or life, is a random mutation that happened by chance. This says that we have no free will. This says that God has already decided who’s gonna be saved. Also...

So, I was doing a little reading here : TULIP: 5-Point Calvinism Explained and I have to say that I’m a bit shocked … to say the least. Basically Calvinism says that there are a few chosen ones and the rest are damned to hell. This is the most depressing idea I’ve read next to materialistic...

Thank you so much for the summary @Ronald Nolette . I can see that each of those points can ignite an endless debate including on what exactly they mean by words like “Total” or “Unconditional” or “ irresistible” or “limited”. Sigh. I’ll sit back and watch now and thank you again for the summary.

Hey Ronald. So, @Lifelong_sinner has invited us here to ask about Calvinism. But I don’t know anything about Calvinism so I don’t know what to ask. If we had a chart though, of what Calvinists believe, then I can ask some questions.

We need a chart of all Christian denominations. I’ve looked hard in Google but I can’t find it. For example : 1. Believes in Trinity = Check 2. Believes in Eucharist = Check 3. Honors The Virgin Mary = Check Etc etc. Then we can ask questions such as : 1. Why don’t you believe in the...

I’m too old to travel now and I’m kinda like Fluffers where I avoid airplanes too. It’s been 5 years since I’ve been on a plane and I don’t want to go in one ever again. But if I was 20 … I’d probably hop on the shuttle and go to my base on Mars where I’m going to share the base with QuietThinker.

Excellent ! It’s settled then. Who says that Catholics and Protestants can’t get along in a Mars base?
