Bible Note: Greetings JVH0212! I appreciate your viewpoint my friend! I have a slightly different take on the issue, simply because I don't normally take things personally. So, I never viewed the discussion I was engaged in as bitter. Further, everyone who participated treated me with nothing but respect. However, I know that many of the forum don't wish another debate on the issue, so I have tried to respect their wishes. I just couldn't resist this time. 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. So, I challenged this particular individual to address Scripture to back up his claims. He hasn't and apparently he won't. So, out of respect for you and the rest of my friends, I will drop the issue. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
