Subject: What qualifies as "heresy"? |
Bible Note: Hi EdB, When it comes to belaboring the point about Calvinist and Arminianist, this saying sure fits. Someone once said that, "We learn from experience that we learn nothing from experience." Scripture isn’t discovered it’s revealed and we aren’t going to convince anyone since that isn’t our ministry; maybe they Lord wants it that way for whatever reason, I don’t know? I had witnessed to a neighbor, I don’t know how many times, and he even sat in on some of my Bible studies, on salvation, without responding. He moved away from our neighborhood and several years later stopped by the house and talked to my wife. He explained to my wife that he had been saved and wondered why we never told him about God’s plain of salvation, my wife’s mouth dropped open; oh well, hearing they don’t hear, it’s all in the Lord’s good time. A man that’s persuaded against his will is a man that’s unpersuaded still. Well, with that little ditty, do you think I will hear from the C. camp? Food for thought but I won't argue the point, CDBJ |
