Bible Note: Greetings Tim! I wholeheartedly agree with your statement: "I was annoyed at seeing Arminism equated with the heresy of Pelagianism. The two have nothing in common whatsoever. The logic used to equate the two is ridiculous. It would be like saying that because Muslims believe in one God that Christians are semi-muslim." I, too, wanted to debate this, but I am finding myself simply growing tired of having to defend myself time after time after time on this Forum.. I thank you for having the stamina and the courage to reply to this and you did it in a most respectful manner as always, my friend! If a person has Scripture to back it up, then great! However, if a person just "asserts" their views with no Scriptural basis, then they are only causing trouble on the Forum and creating divisiveness. Thank you for your constant and ever encouraging witness, my friend! Your Brother in Christ, Nolan |
