Thank you! I find it difficult to discuss when people clearly have false conceptions of what I and others who believe the doctrines of grace actually believe.
Yes, and when they keep trumpeting those false conceptions in the face of repeated, indisputable clarification(s), it becomes at some point impossible to really call it a false conception at all, but very intentional mischaracterization, which is a form of lying. But yes, amen to that, brother.

Grace and peace to you.

Read the Word of the Lord Jesus Christ, PinSeeker. I dare you. <GRIN>
I have; it's a yearly practice of mine. My dare to you ~ to which your silence speaks volumes ~ still stands.

I have God's Word and THE Teacher Jesus sent (the Holy Spirit).
Right, right, right, I mean we would all say that, presumably... <smile> But as you probably know ~ because it is God's Word, after all ~ the utterance of wisdom and the utterance of knowledge are both gifts of the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 12:4-11, particularly verses 8 and 11), and like all His gifts, He empowers and apportions to each Christian individually as He wills, which obviously means, Big Boy, that not all of us are gifted to the same measure of those things.

I have no need for the wisdom of men...
Well, yes you do, if it is true wisdom from above, which is a gift of the Holy Spirit, as I said above. We all do, as all the gifts of the Holy Spirit are given to individuals for the common good (1 Corinthians 12:7), which is to say God gives individuals these gifts so that all us Christians can help each other in our Christian walk in various ways. Iron sharpens iron, and one man sharpens another (Proverbs 27:17).

Grace and peace to you, Big Boy. Especially grace...

That explains why the devil can so easily deceive some people in to following calvinism.




Grace and peace to you, Big Boy. Especially grace...

I'll pass on the "grace" that leads people to the false doctrines of calvinism

Thanks but no thanks.

I have no need for the wisdom of men and false teachers.
And that reveals your major problem!

Ephesians 4:9-14

King James Version

9 (Now that he ascended, what is it but that he also descended first into the lower parts of the earth?
10 He that descended is the same also that ascended up far above all heavens, that he might fill all things.)
11 And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers;
12 For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:
13 Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ:
14 That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive;

Men are what God uses to mature you and make you fit for His service. Stay away from them and you stay away from growing up in the faith.

And your major problem is you apparently believe anybody claiming to be a pastor or a teacher

You failed to take God's Word seriously when He said that in the end time deception would be every where and many would come in His Name deceiving many

This is what I'm talking about man, you gotta pay attention top all the Lord says in His Word including the warnings so you won't continue having your major problem. Now get it done!

You suck at mind reading. If you knew me at all, you would know how foolish your last statement was.

And you think I don't? I have been studying His Word for fifty years and practice intense dispensational hermeneutics which teaches to take all verses concerning a doctrine in to consideration before deciding.

And isn't it funny that nearly all churches are 3-4-5 point believers in biblical calvinism. Armenian churches like the RCC, Methodists, and Episcopalians et. al hold to the five points of Jacob Armenius. I can defend the five points from Scripture with many many verses. That is how I went from an Armenian believer like you to a 5 point biblical calvinist. From an intense study of SCripture.
