Gene - Ever hear the song, "Promises, Promises?" Is that your theme song? :-) You've been promising to post something that will refute both Calvinism and Arminianism and put an end to the debate. If you can do that, let's quit talking about it and get on with it. Play ball! If it starts pouring down rain, there are ways to stop the game :-) --Hank | ||||||

Hank... I have not been promising anything. I have been first trying to lay a groundwork to see if I can present here. What has me musing is the way some here are afraid to even hear what I have to say BEFORE I have said anything to indicate the details. Why is that? Some keep wanting me to privately Email what I know to them or to someone else. As if they do not want what ever I have to say to be seen by all. AND, they have no idea what it is! Strange thing. I have given no details yet, and they are wanting me not to post for all to see. " For our struggle is not against flesh and blood...." (Eph 6:12a) I am not sure this is a right place for me. With the type of attitude being shown here, it looks like they do not have the courage to face truth other than what they deem safe and feel comfortable with already. I am not yet sure this is a fertile place for offering what I have been given. I am having second thoughts... Besides, I have been showing my own disdain for what I have been show here. Walls are being erected before I begin. I think I walked through a wrong door... Might be moving on... Gene And, don't think I am surprised. A bit disapointed maybe. But, not surprised. |

Hank... Some simply live to debate. They do not seek after gaining truth, but in only in gaining in better ways to win their point of view. I came here with a hope that it was a place to exchange ideas, not debate. But, I am not surprised. I just needed to find out first. I had been debating for almost 8 years in Forums. I have grown through it, yet I have now outgrown the need to debate. What I was offering to share is not something I wish to debate. If others wanted to, it could be debated afterwards by others amongst themselves. For I have no desire to be debating others while presenting this particular teaching. It would be like someone debating with others if he truly loves his wife when he knows he is deeply in love with her. Yet, if others were driven to do so through disbelief, they would be free to debate it amongst themselves afterwards if that's what rings their bell. But he would have no desire for such debate. For he deeply loves his wife. That is how I feel about what I have been shown. Certain teachings are not to be debated (as they are being presented) but can be debated afterwards by those with a need to do so. I wanted to give something freely. Not to have a sword fight to make them stop fighting it. It is not that type of teaching. It is a teaching that only those fully controlled by grace would receive and in the right setting. I now see what this forum is for. Fine. Let the debates continue on. It can be healthy for those wanting to learn more about what they have come to believe. The others, they only want to argue and will never learn anything truthful. I repeat, some teachings should not be debated. They need to be presented. Then, let those who don't get it (and those who do) debate it amongst themselves. The one presenting it in this case only wants to open a door and explain what's on the other side... not try to force others through. " If any man have ears to hear, let him hear." Those who don't? What good would debating do? Grace and peace, Gene |
