Bible Note: JibbyJee: Friend, it makes no difference to me whether you "turn me off" or listen with rapt attention to my every word! As one who has been a Calvinist for 18 whole months, you are, I suppose, the world's foremost expert on Calvinism, Christian theology, and inerrant exegesis of Scripture. Since you know it all, and I by your own admission don't know beans about Calvinism -- my 35 years as an active member of a Calvinist/Reformed church notwithstanding -- I'm convinced that I have no ability to teach you or anyone else anything who already knows it all anyway. You observed that I absolutely HATE Calvinism. You're wrong. What I dislike intensely (hate is a strong word I'd rather not use) is the position of any Christian of any doctrinal persuasion who, like you, appears to know it all, to be right all the time, and to look upon any other view that differs from your own as being utterly and hopelessly wrong. Farewell. I want no more interchange with you or with anyone else who thinks as you do. --Hank |
