1 | Questions??? | Matt 27:3 | EdB | 74410 | ||
John Isn't the Holy Spirit wonderful when we decide to repent He is there to accomplish that in us. Let's stop this will go no where. Your convinced Calvin and his manipulation of Scripture in an effort to render established church doctrine invalid and thus cast a pale upon Rome was divine rather than humanistic. Calvin was a lawyer trained to manipulate words and hired to make Rome look bad. He was not a theologian seeking God's truth. Give me a break, for 1500 years the doctrinal truths are wrong and along comes Calvin and redefines man from a free will being into a robot forced to choose salvation. EdB EdB |

"Calvin was a lawyer trained to manipulate words and hired to make Rome look bad." Yeah, there was a lot of manipulation needed to accomplish THAT task! ;) "He was not a theologian seeking God's truth." Wow...Ed knows the heart now! (cf. 1 Samuel 16:7) "Give me a break, for 1500 years the doctrinal truths are wrong and along comes Calvin and redefines man from a free will being into a robot forced to choose salvation." Wow...spoken like a true Roman Catholic. I didn't realize that the Assemblies of God were defenders of the RCC "doctrinal truths" that the Reformation challenged. As far as established church doctrine, have you ever read this guy called Augustine? He died a few years before Calvin started "manipulating words" and had a strikingly similar view of Scripture. Ever hear of this guy called Martin Luther? Calvin gets all the credit/blame for the doctrines of grace, but Luther put them forward in a book entitled _The Bondage of the Will._ A quick read of that will (again) correct your erroneous notion that the things you are railing against (again) came out of the head of one well-paid, manipulative lawyer who was not seeking God's truth. Once again, Ed, I admonish you to be more accurate, and to "be quick to hear, slow to speak and slow to anger" (James 1:19). --Joe! |

3 | Questions??? | Matt 27:3 | EdB | 74525 | ||
Joe It was Calvin that brought forth the hypothesis of election to which I and over two thirds of Christianity object. You know as well as I do when Calvin got involved nearly 100 years after Luther broke from Rome the issues were more social/political than spiritual. At stake was who was going to be in charge and receive the 'tax' money. Say what you want Calvin's initial involvment was as a lawyer and not a theologian. I said nothing in anger but I think you might have vented a little. EdB |

"It was Calvin that brought forth the hypothesis of election to which I and over two thirds of Christianity object." Please see my previous post. You are incorrect. "You know as well as I do when Calvin got involved nearly 100 years after Luther broke from Rome the issues were more social/political than spiritual." Martin Luther's 95 Theses: 1517 Calvin's conversion to Protestantism: ca. 1533 Where did the "100 years" get squeezed in? Do your homework, please, before posting inaccuracies. --Joe! |

Joe your right I'm not sure where the 100 years came from. I meant to say there was a generation betweeen them, a quote from Shelly "... he was born a generation after Luther in a different land and was a far different sort of person." Everyone I stand corrected. EdB |
