Bible Note: Where did you dig this guy up? :) He seems to use a lot of words to say virtually nothing at all. Rather than being enlightened, I just came away scratching my head, wondering if he had some point in there. The only thing I could glean from it is that he takes pleasure in ignoring the issues, despite the fact that they obviously are of some importance if they are revealed in Scripture. Rejecting theological terminology does not make one profoundly spiritual and insightful. I repeat my charge: anyone who thinks in the slightest about the God of the Bible will come to certain conclusions about His chracter, nature, and overall plan. These conclusions will conform closely to either Arminianism or Reformed theology. You have made assertions yourself in your posts which place you pretty squarely in one camp, even if you reject the label itself. While I hold Arminians who have placed their trust in Christ to be my fellow heirs with Christ Jesus, I hold them to be wrong on some pretty important issues about God's modus operandi. Our beliefs affect the way that we live and worship and evangelize. Arminians who understand (and yet reject) Calvinism would consider me a fellow Christian as well. They also hold that I am wrong. They also realize that it is much more of a significant isuue than whether the choir should wear robes or not. I can and do fellowship with individuals whom I hold to be completely wrong on these issues, just as I can fellowship with people who hold different views on the mode and manner of baptism. However, it is foolishness to ignore God's revealed word and proudly state "I am neither." The only "neither" is a fence-sitter who refuses to think about God at all. --Joe! |
