Actually Nang, you're giving her a break. She no longer has to listen to your cranky comments aimed at her. So, in essence, you gave her a gift all wrapped up with a pretty bow on top.
You Nang, are the "Queen of Exaggeration."
Yikes woman, get off your High Horse and give it some water before it dies of dehydration.
If it is true: "Ignorance is Bliss," that would make Nang the happiest woman on earth. Obviously, she's not that.
There's nothing on that video you won't see on the "History Channel." So, what are ya belly-aching about? AMR is a grown man for crying out loud. If he can't withstand seeing those things, it's best for him to shut off his Laptop, Cable, and DVD machine and sit in a corner with a warm glass of milk and think about the "Good old days."
Have you EVER read the Old Testament? Do you remember the story of Moses in the wilderness with the "Chosen People of God?" When Moses came down from the mountain the people were sinning away and Moses told those who were on God's side to come and those who were not to stay on their side. In the movie version those who chose not to be on God's side were swallowed up by the earth, whereas, in reality, Moses people were told to pull their swords and KILL the people who weren't on God's side. They slaughtered those people, did you know that? Men, Women and perhaps children, as well. They couldn't show that in the movie version. That must have been a bloody sight, yet, part of life. That video was part of life too.

It's a standard Calvinist mantra that when a person objects to the precepts of Calvinism that the problem is that the person "didn't understand Calvinism." Once upon a time I didn't understand Calvinism. Then I learned what it was, and it made me ill.
Try reading the Old Testament and see if you can handle the stuff it speaks about, Nang and AMR.
Good post.
The Gentiles were called Dogs two thousand years ago too.
Well, that's what you folks seem to believe if you follow your line of reasoning all the way to the end.
I thought I felt the earth tremble below my feet.

The last time I talked with a Calvinist about Calvinism (he seemed to want to open up the topic) I asked that same question. He said that Adam and Eve had free will, but no one else after them. So then I asked about Cain, did the first son of men have free will? No, he answered, Cain did not have free will. Cain was chosen before he was born to be condemned and nothing he could do would allow him to be accepted.
Aside from the problem this creates that God himself was the author of sin, there was one little problem with his statement. A problem from scripture...
Genesis 4:6-7 KJV
(6) And the LORD said unto Cain, Why art thou wroth? and why is thy countenance fallen?
(7) If thou doest well, shalt thou not be accepted? and if thou doest not well, sin lieth at the door. And unto thee shall be his desire, and thou shalt rule over him.
So maybe the problem with this pastor was that he didn't understand Calvinism. But if he answered wrongly, at what point did man have free will stripped away from them so that the prepared puppets of sin could take the stage in their stead?
You're kind of a puppy that follows Nang around, in order to get her attention, aren't ya?

Perhaps one could argue that it is not appropriate to preach Calvinism on a Christian forum also. I imagine you may not agree with that. That's why there would be arguing.
I really like Lon. The rest, well, I can do without them and you too if I had to. And, I hope I have to.
Yeah. Calvinism is pretty SICK as well.
Stop....stop..... Get a grip. Nobody can beat Nasty Nang's record for mean-spiritedness.
Get a grip before you embarrass yourself.opcorn:
Too late, he's already done that.

Why would a Calvinist preach to someone? If they are one of the elect that won the lottery ticket before the foundation of the world, there's nothing they can do to avoid landing in heaven. If they weren't one of those ones, it wouldn't matter if they repented, changed their wicked ways, and walked uprightly until the end of their days. That would be a foolish person who would be cast into hell.
Ezekiel 33:14-16 KJV
(14) Again, when I say unto the wicked, Thou shalt surely die; if he turn from his sin, and do that which is lawful and right;
(15) If the wicked restore the pledge, give again that he had robbed, walk in the statutes of life, without committing iniquity; he shall surely live, he shall not die.
(16) None of his sins that he hath committed shall be mentioned unto him: he hath done that which is lawful and right; he shall surely live.
God doesn't sound like a Calvinist, or at least not like any Calvinist that I've ever heard.
