1 | Vessels prepared for destruction? | Rom 9:22 | CDBJ | 70390 | ||
I don’t fall into either the C camp or the A camp but the statement that you just made that we shouldn’t go too far with what you say is an extreme in understanding God’s word just might have me leaning toward the C camp. Getting back to my Question at the point of creation where God saw that all was good: He had already created Lucifer and that surely wasn’t good or is that one of the times when we shouldn’t go to extremes? And by the way how do we know when these times are, maybe eternal life doesn’t really mean what it says and maybe we aren’t really saved as it says, that seems pretty extreme to give a guy like me eternal life just for trusting in Christ. Or maybe God doesn’t reveal what I know to those who are entrenched in the A camp? I will say this for sure I know what I know and I know I can’t loose it because I didn’t do anything to get it in the first place. I just believe it and it doesn’t depend on me to hang on to it, if it did I would have lost it by now! I guess that I can say to all that are in the A camp that you have my best regards and I wish you the best however it might turn out. Why do we have to be classified as a Calvinist or and Arminianist? I just want to be classified as a Christian. I don’t belong to either one of those two guys, I belong to Christ! CDBJ |

Greetings CDBJ, We don't have to be classified as being a Calvinist or an Arminian. Only a select few on this forum pronounce themselves as proudly being 5 point Calvinists. I am certainly not a "5 point Arminian", and I have never claimed to be as such. I am a Christian who finds great flaws within the Calvinist understanding of Christianity, and I find its growing influence on this forum quite unnerving. Yes, I am in full support of classifing ourselves as "Christians" over and above any other classification, my friend. I certainly cannot be accused of impressing my "Arminian" point of view towards this Forum on a daily basis, but present history has found the need for myself to become much more vocal on this subject. Blessings to you, Makarios |

Well I can find the same fault with both sides and there are so many out there that don’t have a hint as to the Gospel and the plan of salvation. It is virtually a sin for us to be wasting our time on something that has never been proven for hundreds of years when we could be such a blessing to so many that don’t even know Christ or those that think that they do and really don’t. Matthew 7:21-23 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. [22] Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? [23] And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity. |

Great post, CDBJ! I must say that I most certainly agree with you there. - Makarios |
