Subject: Who, besides the elect of God,are saved? |
Bible Note: Joe I don't think if you get tricked into believing in Calvinism it makes you blasphemer I think it makes you deceived or at least mislead. Joe are you going to deny that within the Calvinistic ranks there aren't those that take the approach (rightly or wrongly) that since it is all predestined there is not much use in evangelism? Are you also going to say by me saying this, it is a smear campaign rather than a valid complaint against the possible effects of the this teaching. If I use scripture you complain I'm proof texting, interpreting wrong or just too stupid to understand. When I give you scripture you change the meaning and say the words don't really mean what they say. If I complain about the doctrine I have to be disparaging a saint. If I examine the saint I'm character assassinating. Joe you stack the table so that whatever I do short of agreeing with you is committing some grievous act. In my opinion you have never approached this subject as a learning experience but instead in an attempt to indoctrinate others to your thinking. I have repeatedly said I think there is some validity to Calvin’s view of salvation but that he has missed a vital ingredient as has every other attempt to explain the process. I sought some from of compromise, of agree to disagree of anything way to stop this endless and totally ridiculous exchange. And short of remaining silent and letting you prattle on nothing has worked. Joe give it a rest!!!! EdB |
