1 | Did Jesus die _only_ for the elect | 1 Tim 3:1 | Makarios | 13531 | ||
Greetings Tim! I wholeheartedly agree with your statement: "I was annoyed at seeing Arminism equated with the heresy of Pelagianism. The two have nothing in common whatsoever. The logic used to equate the two is ridiculous. It would be like saying that because Muslims believe in one God that Christians are semi-muslim." I, too, wanted to debate this, but I am finding myself simply growing tired of having to defend myself time after time after time on this Forum.. I thank you for having the stamina and the courage to reply to this and you did it in a most respectful manner as always, my friend! If a person has Scripture to back it up, then great! However, if a person just "asserts" their views with no Scriptural basis, then they are only causing trouble on the Forum and creating divisiveness. Thank you for your constant and ever encouraging witness, my friend! Your Brother in Christ, Nolan |

Nolan: I agree with all that you said in your post, but especially this: "If a person has Scripture to back it up, then great! However, if a person just "asserts" their views with no Scriptural basis, then they are only causing trouble on the Forum and creating divisiveness." And what is just as bad as no Scripture to back it up is this: No relevant scripture to back up what the other person asserts. Many times here on the forum I've seen people quote a dozen or more verses. But often 1) the verses had nothing whatever to do with the topic at hand; 2) the poster often had no idea of the meaning of the words used in the verses; and 3) the verses proved nothing. As far as growing tired of defending myself over and over again, keep in mind: 1) When they make an assertion, it is not my job to refute it. It's their job to defend it. Grace to you, --JVH0212 |
