You’ve done this to me for a while now, and haven’t changed one bit. That’s fine as it’s not my job to convince you, that is up to God. But after @Anthony D'Arienzo answers you, you will reject his posts and ask him to explain himself again. In my opinion, you don’t want to change your beliefs, but disparage us.
That is exactly what is happening. "Hey, you, answer me again, over and over and over so I can brush off truth each time and trivialize it. Give me some more posts to do this with. While you're doing that I'll be endorsing, encouraging and embracing the false gospels of others on here at the same time. Don't worry, I'll get to your answer soon to mitigate it, then ask *you* to answer me again."
I'm not here to change anyone's beliefs, including my own.
Disparage is a perfect word choice and description of what she does, she wants answers so she can "regard them as of little worth." It is exactly what she is doing, against the Gospel. Kudos bro.
And @Anthony D'Arienzo will tell you what I’ve told you, Sissy. You’re acting like the Pharisees in John 9 who asked the guy the Christ healed of his blindness who restored his sight. They asked him three or four times, he gave them the same answer, but kept asking him who healed him.
Ok, so then the only way you guys can explain it is a way that to me doesn't seem to actually answer my question.
We give the answers, she rejects them, then asks for us to give more answers again? Why do I keep chasing my tail? I’m seriously trying to help her and others, but they reject the help offered.
For what it's worth, it is equally frustrating for me for the exact same reasons.
The above is completely false. You've been answered multiple times concisely, clearly and each answer has thoroughly addressed your questions.
I believe that everyone who is outside of Christ is perishing.
As an Armenenian, I can say "you need to get serious about scripture and choose you this day who you will serve", and have it be simple and straight forward.
Nope, everyone is exactly what it says and means. That's not universalism, because obviously not everyone will choose to receive the light. Jesus said he who seeks will find, he who knocks, the door is opened to. We have to seek more light as we become aware of it. Many will choose to remain in the dark.
No, salvation is accomplished only by God. Don't be ridiculous. No one saves themselves. If you had been paying attention to what I have said many times.. instead of just skimming, there are conditions we must meet before God does the saving work. This is clear from literally hundreds of verses.
Yeah, you tell him. He shouldn't call himself preacher for truth if he can't tell the truth.
Yes Grace is unmerited favor... Believing does not merit salvation, but it is a condition God has set. That's his prerogative.
You'll find their Calvinism goes out the window when it comes to evangelizing. It's only after people have been Christian's for a while that they dump that load of manure on them.
I give respect to those who earn respect. I have not seen that respect for my theology by Calvinists on this thread. I have friends who are calvinist. I respect them, because they aren't into mocking those who disagree with them.
