Subject: God's fair standards to judge evildoers |
Bible Note: EdB, Having given a little prayer to the matter, and reflected some on past interactions involving you on the forums, I believe that your last post to me makes a little bit more sense. I understand that you think this forum is a haven for calvinists in which we chase off those who are not calvinist. So it begins to make sense to me why you somehow think reformed theology is the issue. This also sheds some light as to why you thought it needed to be defended that Christ being preached is a necessity, which I agree with and always have. But under the light of you thinking I was trying to censure your departure from calvinistic/reformed theology this statement at least seems to have some ground for you to bring it up. So, without engaging in the actual subject again, let me say just a couple things. 1. At no point was anything I was trying to explain about calvinism or anything unique to reformed theology. At least not to my knowledge. 2. At no point in any of our conversation was I trying to police or censure your posts due to their departure from reformed or calvinistic theology. 3. I in no way claim any right to censure you based upon your disagreeing with reformed/calvinistic theology. 4. I deny any notion that this forum is reserved only for those who hold to reformed/calvinistic theology. 5. I believe that all theologies within the terms of the TOU should have fair and open opportunity to be discussed and evaluated in light of scripture on this forum. 6. I reject that any theology has the right to be protected from evaluation in light of scripture on this forum from some mistaken sense of equality or tolerance. Neither reformed, arminian, Catholic or any other interpretation of scripture gets to ignore either inherrant contradictions or conflicts between it and scripture on the basis of this forum "being open to all." We are here to pursue truth together and that involves discovering errors. Again, I will not re-enter the previous discussion regarding judgment for those who have not heard of Christ. I simply wish to make the above points clear now that I think I know why you responded to me in the way you did. In Christ, Beja |
