Posting Annoyance

[Enoch111]

I am not Calvinistic, but here is something a Calvinist wrote that will knock your knickers.

Same old same old arguments. When you begin with false premises, you arrive at false conclusions.

 

[Enoch111]

But my one big problem is I DONT proof read after I post...I just post and move on.

Which generally result in harmless errors.

Yes. It is like the old joke about St. Peter escorting a newly arrived soul on a tour through heaven. St. Peter says, indicating various groups as they pass,"And over here, we have the Baptists, over there, the Lutherans, and over there, the Pentecostals. And, then, could I ask you to take off your shoes?" The newly arrived soul, startled, asked, "Why should I do that Peter?" St. Peter whispers, "Well, we will soon go past the Calvinists and they think they are the only ones here. Out of kindness, we let them think that."

The author actually doesn't start with any premises. He simply asks questions.

Authorship confers the ability to make decisions as to what questions are asked. The author most definitely starts with premises.

I think you meant to say: (So, now you're a grammar expert?)

No, I just paid attention in third-grade.

Careful Willie, you're dealing with a Webmaster.

Gee. After 15+ years as a webmaster I didn't know that.

Well whaddayaknow!

True. But the underlying premise is that Calvinism is sound doctrine.

 

[Preacher4Truth]

I read through this man's "questions" (which are really more assertion than question). It is obvious that he is a Calvinist and I reject much of what he says based on my own understanding of what the Bible teaches. That's the problem with Calvinists--they think that their interpretation is the only one possible. They will not brook any departure from their dogma. When one argues with them, it is like arguing with a Roman Catholic. They spout Roman Catholic dogma and will not brook any departure from THEIR dogma. No wonder that people get confused. I am NOT a humanist (and I well know what that is). It is a favorite dodge of Calvinists--anyone who disagrees with them is either a "humanist" non-spiritual, etc. the list goes on and on. They are extremely arrogant and give Christians a bad name among non-Christians.

You cannot refute 1 of his 75 questions by using properly interpreted Scripture. That you don't use Scripture in context is a well known fact. Those who challenge you, you insult and put on ignore.

 

[Preacher4Truth]

True. But the underlying premise is that Calvinism is sound doctrine.

Which is correct. You've shown you cannot refute the teachings or it's Gospel preached through the centuries. You can prove, however, that you've adopted a Finney/Sandeman false gospel that is a newcomer to the church in the last days.

You should really study the history of the Gospel from the church and church history. Please don't say you have, if you had you'd know your gospel is new, not the one true preached for centuries. Then you'd know to reject it.

LOL! And I was raised in a family of 16 close relatives who were either teachers or college professors... AND I am married to a Language Arts Major.

Well Reformed Theology originated in and around the 14th and 15th centuries. But the TRUE Gospel was from the very day Christ began to preach. And in reality, that Gospel went even further back since the Gospel was preached to Israel in the wilderness (including the Brazen Serpent to which Christ referred).

Reformed Theology originated with the ideas of Augustine, and since all the Reformers were former Catholics, they failed to discard Augustine's ideas. But just one verse from Isaiah will prove that Calvinism is a False Gospel.

Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth: for I am God, and there is none else. (Isa 45:22).

Is God inviting the whole world of humanity to come to Him and be saved? Absolutely. Which means that God does not elect some for salvation and others for damnation.

The great commentator Matthew Henry was of the Reformed persuasion. But even he had to accept the fact that God was inviting all men to be saved:

It [Isa 45:22] seems to refer further to the conversion of the Gentiles that live in the ends of the earth, the most distant nations, when the standard of the gospel is set up. To it shall the Gentiles seek. When Christ is lifted up from the earth, as the brazen serpent upon the pole, he shall draw the eyes of all men to him. They shall all be invited to look unto him, as the stung Israelites did to the brazen serpent; and so strong is the eye of faith that by divine grace it will reach the Saviour and fetch in salvation by him even from the ends of the earth; for he is God, and the is none else.

Which YOU usually point out for me.
Have I not made any lately, or are you being too polite now?
I miss your "catches".

Yes. It is like the old joke about St. Peter escorting a newly arrived soul on a tour through heaven. St. Peter says, indicating various groups as they pass,"And over here, we have the Baptists, over there, the Lutherans, and over there the Pentecostals.

St. Peter whispers, "Well, we will soon go past the Calvinists and they think they are the only ones here. Out of kindness, we let them think that."

Love that!! ...new one to me...
Even our Calvinists will love it, I'm sure

 

[Helen]

And I did not even mention the missing commas.

And I didn't even notice ANYTHING amiss in his post. Really...

 

[Helen]

So now your grammar expert? I don't think so.

I must admit, I just take in the comment , not so much anything else.
I always know what you are saying.
