Run AWAY from Calvinism!

[Lifelong_sinner]

Maybe…. Just maybe, non-calvinists should stop telling us calvinists what they think we believe?? Just saying. You dont see us calvinists telling catholics what they believe.

How 'bout this?


I praise God that I am not under divine obligation to
follow either Calvinism or Arminianism. It smacks of
Corinthian carnality: “For while one saith, I am of Calvin;
and another, I am of Arminius; are ye not carnal?”
I can show you the way, but it is your "choice" my brother.

Maybe God isn't keen on being stuffed into a 5-point box?

Lol!

how about you have eyes but cant see? Calvinism existed well before the arminians called it calvinism. You are so hung up on the “ism” in the name that you cant see the principles objectively. Calvinism is nothing but a term given to what the apostles taught.
I dont know why calvinism occupies the minds of non-calvinists so much. I know i dont ever think about catholicism or SDAism.

Or maybe there's a smoothly paved, narrow way between those two ditches.

...thlipsis..hemmed in, compressed, full of obstacles..

Well, get ready, 'cause you're gonna. That's a guarantee, if you're alive when Jesus comes.

I gotta go wash some dishes. I'm on pots-and-pans detail.

Thing is, you don't even know what Calvin propagated, confusion reigns, the eyes are blinded, you need to "see" with the eyes of your understanding, the understanding being enlightened by and in the sphere of the Holy Spirit brother.
Deep breath, that is grace extended to you.

Doubt all you like. It won't change a thing.

Praise God for that!

as usual, you’re wrong. How do i know what he said? I know by reading our confessions. But lets flip this around, what exactly is your doctrine?? I dont think you even know.

 

[Johann]

what exactly is your doctrine

What is my doctrine?
Well..
Let's see..
Christ Jesus, sealed with the Holy Spirit, known by the Father...having a testimony..
...what's yours?
J.

 

[Johann]

I know by reading our confessions

Which is in error, I have shown you this...

J.

no, i’ve never seen you even mention them. If you actually read it, you’d know that calvinism is the truth. Most people on this forum have never even heard of our confessions let alone read them.

 

[Lifelong_sinner]

Well..

J.

thats it?? Theres a lot more to God than that.

My doctrine is here;
Confession of Faith: The Orthodox Presbyterian Church

 

[Ronald Nolette]

Seems like I am going to apologize to everyone..would you accept?
J.

Always!

 

[Ronald Nolette]

"Unelect"

Can't find that in my Bible.

See if you can find Chevrolet in the bible.

 

[Ronald Nolette]

..since I was a young gun and still going by the grace of our Lord.
J.

Amen!

 

[Ronald Nolette]

Well, then, there must not be any.

Or maybe there's a smoothly paved, narrow way between those two ditches.

I'm just thinking out loud here.

I just can't warm up to creeds so much.

Well there is no road between eternal security and you can lose your salvation.

Nor free will and divine election.

Nor limited vs. unlimited atonement.

At least biblically. Maybe in human philosophy, but that is ot bible.
