1 | God created man sin-ful? | Bible general | jeremiah1five | 241537 | ||
Whoa! You mean that I saw/seen the same thing in Scripture as Calvin and Martin Luther? I have never read Calvin nor studied any of his works nor Martin Luther's, and here I am coming to the same conclusion as these two men. How about this: Paul says the Law is spiritual. Scripture also says man is flesh. As a fleshly man the Law kills, but to a born again spirit-man the Law cannot touch us. Spirit-ual cannot harm spirit-ual. I have read only the Scriptures and I have visited many various sites, but I have never read nor studied men of God in the past who have published books, and at places I have been called a Calvinist for my views and I hate that designation. I don't like being called a Calvinist. I prefer to be a Biblical Christian. That's the ONLY KIND there is in existence. If one's Christianity is not Biblical, then it is NOT Christianity. Bottom line. Thank you, Doc. |

Don't get confused here what you are discussing is seen by most serious students of scripture. It is not a Calvin/Luther thing. You are not coming to the same conclusion of just Calvin and Luther but the conclusions of everyone that seeks the truth in scripture. This truth once discovered is often the place where man stops seeking more of God and starts allowing his own ideas shape his final concept/theology of the truth. Hence we have some 3000 plus denominations/theologies all claiming they are the truth. I believe this is where the leading of the Holy Spirit is so important. |

Hi EdB. No confusion here. I believe what I believe because the Scripture says it and my mind is wrapped around it. My edification is not complete. I have not reached my measure of faith because I am here still to talk about it. I was surprised only because I never read Calvin and here I am on the same page as he was. Or that J. Edwards and I see the same Jesus, or Charles Hodge, etc. It's even a blessing as a surprise when I post my faith and understanding and another believer also sees the same Jesus. But I do know that Calvin saw the same as Augustine who also saw the same as Paul (2 Tim. 2:2). It's a blessing, that all. | ||||||
