1 | How can anyone be saved? | 1 Cor 2:14 | JRdoc | 61391 | ||
Dear Hank I did not know that Calvinists were not allowed here. I thought it was a place for all Christians. Sorry if I mis-understood the conditions for coming here. I do apologize for any hard aches I have caused you. I just desire to- Jude 3 Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints. 4 For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ. Of course if that is not allowed here than of course I will not violate my privilege of posting. The way I see it if you do not desire to speak about Calvinism all you have to do is not answer any of the posts. That seems to be the simplest solution instead of using attacking statements like the ones "you" posted (you said- nuisance, hard-core soap boxers, et. al.) and yet assert "gentlemanly fashion with kindness and regard for your peers on the forum." I know have not read all the posts and there are probably some that are…bad….but I can only judge what I have seen and read thus far. In actuality when I came here.. one of my very "first posts" was in REPLY to what someone in the ARMINIAN camp mis-stated--and thus began the, “The Sovereignty and Free-will" thread! I replied and have been replying ever since! But, I have replied to other threads as well. How is one to learn if he may not hear and see and how will they without God's "sent ones"? |

Hello JRdoc Hank did not say Calivinists could not post here but that the Cal-Arm debate has had an excessive number of posts even before the current outbreak. And frankly, he's correct. We try to be self-limiting concerning highly-charged, disputed issues even walking away as you have noted. And believe me, it's difficult to do so. It's a fine line we walk in order to promote peace among those that share here. I mean no offense toward you. I'm just trying to get you "up to speed" on how things have been. Steve |

Thanks for the clarification. When one is of a "theological system" (which all are) it would seem hard to comment on certain issues without getting into debates. I do agree that one should not be combative and use demeaning language but assert the text (the whole texts) in their arguments. I guess even the best of us allow personality to get in the way at times. I am guilty of that I am sure and as I stated before I apologize for any misunderstanding on my behalf. But I can not apologize for the "content" of my posts for I can not apologize for what the Scripture emphatically states to the glory of God alone. No offense was taken here and I pray none was received. I must admit though I was a little bothered by Hanks "tone" of his post, but he has probably seen and heard moe than I have here and thus just weary...as his post did indicate. May God Bless the Truth. |

Hello JRdoc I fully understand the thrill of "rigorous Bible study" (a.k.a. debate). Been there; done that. And I'm glad we can be amicable about it all. Many of us have our e-mail addresses in our personal profiles, if you ever want to interact on a personal level. Steve |
