John Calvin and Calvinism.

[Pierac]

Satan is not the god of anything. And you have no idea what you are talking about.

2Co 4:4 in whose case the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelieving so that they might not see the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God

Thus why you do not see....

Luk 4:2 for forty days, being tempted by the devil.... Luk 4:5 And he led Him up and showed Him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time. Luk 4:6 And the devil said to Him, "I will give You all this domain and its glory; for it has been handed over to me, and I give it to whomever I wish. 4:7 "Therefore if You worship before me, it shall all be Yours."

You think Jesus' temptation was a Joke? Satan offered Jesus the world... without having to be obedient to the Father unto death!

Silly Child...

Like R1689 said, you have no idea what you're talking about.

Again, they had just spent three years with Him and still expected him to conquer all their enemies right away, prompting them to ask a question that, in view of all he had told them, was "silly." Kind of like most of the stuff you're saying here and in other threads.

Go away. Please.

Grace and peace to you. Especially grace, since you are so lacking in it.

 

[reformed1689]

Like R1689, you have no idea what you're talking about.

Excuse me?

 

[PinSeeker]

Excuse me?

Sorry; I meant "Like R1689 said..." My apologies. Correction made.

Grace and peace to you.

You realize that nothing you said in this post changed anything that I said right? And I'm not a child.

Really... because you and Calvin stated... They spent 3 years with Jesus and were so stupid after his death they acted like idiots... with their question!!! in Act 1:6... I only showed you they spent 40 days with him after he rose from the dead discussing the kingdom of God see (Act 1:3)
and after spending 40 days with the risen Lord ... they ask.... "Lord, is it at this time You are restoring the kingdom to Israel?" (Act 1:6)

Thus you defend Calvin calling them idiots.... how does that not change anything....

He did not say they were idiots. You, again, have no idea what you are talking about. And right, it did not change anything. You are obviously just here for a shock factor.

Nobody said they "acted like idiots," except you, in your demagoguery. Even smart people can do and say silly things from time to time. Like... well, like you keep doing here, over and over again...

I only showed you they spent 40 days with him after he rose from the dead discussing the kingdom of God see (Act 1:3)

Well, you can read back to the gospels and easily see that prior to His crucifixion, He spoke with them many times about the kingdom of God. Okay, so we'll say three years and 40 days. LOL!

Grace and peace to you.

Exactly, is he really arguing that Jesus did not speak of the Kingdom of God until after his resurrection?

 

[praise_yeshua]

Satan is not the god of anything if, by that you mean he has power and authority over something. And you have no idea what you are talking about.

It is common reference to

2Co 4:4 In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.

Some Calvinist you are.....

Is there a point to this post? I know what he was referring to.

 

[Titus]

More strong evidence Jesus' mother Mary was not a perpetual virgin.
Biblical fact: Jesus had half brothers and sisters.
Matthew 14:54-56
-And when Jesus was come into His own place of upbringing, He taught them in the synagogue, ....

- Is this not the carpenters son? Is not His mother called Mary? And His brothers, James, and Joses and Simon and Judas?

- And His sisters, are they not all with us? Whence then hath this man all these things?

Now Catholics to defend their false doctrine of perpetual virginity will claim that Jesus' brothers are the chosen apostles.

This is easy to disprove.
There was no apostle named Joses.

Catholic doctrine also claims Mary never sinned.
If Mary never sinned, then why is Mary not the Savior of the world?
Why did Mary not die for our sins?
If no sin ever, Mary qualifies as the perfect sacrifice that can take away the sins of the world.

It is obvious. You're denying what the Scriptures declare.

Calvin did... and you have no problem with that!!!
As part of Calvin’s commentary on this verse he writes:
He showeth that the apostles were gathered together when as this question was moved, that we may know that it came not of the foolishness of one or two that it was moved, but it was moved by the common consent of them all; but marvelous is their rudeness, that when as they had been diligently instructed by the space of three whole years, they betray no less ignorance than if they had heard never a word. There are as many errors in this question as words.

Please stop telling others about what you heard about what someone wrote.... and actually read their writings... Google it, your too lazy to seek it out on your own!

Did you really use a thesaurus to "prove" your point? Oh brother. No, you do not need to teach me the English Language, but perhaps I should teach you how to use language tools and what each of them are for, and, more importantly, not for.
