It has nothing to do with my imagination. It has nothing to do with my opinions. It has nothing to do with anyone's opinions because it isn't a matter of opinion. People have their opinions but they're no more a reflection of the truth than if someone had the opinion that the sky was red. In...

Nobody cares, nor should they care what being saved is to you. It very simply is not a matter of opinion. John 3:16 For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. 17 For God did not send His Son into the...

Liar. I did answer the question and you know it. What a buffoonish clown you are.

Not once single syllable of even the yanked out of context verses that b57 cited here say anything whatsoever about the flatly idiotic doctrine of Regeneration! If you want to know how a cultist is able to pull the nut job wacko doctrines they teach out of the bible, all you have to do is read...

You are such a hypocrite! How many hundreds of times have you failed to even respond at all to direct questions? You routinely ignore practically every word that is said to you! As I said before, you don't know how to ask questions that aren't loaded. Why focus such a question on just one...

No, the tree we're talking about is Israel. (See Luke 16:3-9) Try to keep up.

As evidenced by the number of times you agreed with me, there really isn't a dime's worth of difference between what we are saying. It's literally the difference between talking about the color red vs. talking about a red car. If the Barren Fig Tree had born fruit after being fertilized, what...

Well, I'm not convinced but you might be able to convince me. Let's say you're right and that it's used in Gal. 5:22 is a noun. How would it have been written differently in the original language had Paul intended it to be an adjective? Also, I'm not at all sure that it matters because there...

You say out of one side of your mouth that "they weren't forced" and out of the other will state that you believe in "irresistible grace". What's more is that you will twist any concept relating to their "choice" into meaningless gibberish in order to preserve the plain meaning of "irresistible...

No, I'm not kidding you. I quoted the scripture directly. The list of things in Galatians 5 are adjectives not nouns. As I said in my post, I'm not suggesting that it an entirely different thing and explained the difference in my post, which you promptly and predictably ignored. I'm perfectly...

I directly answered that question. Will you or will you not define what faith is? No, just as I predicted, you will not define it because you know that the question is loaded! You don't even know how to ask a question that isn't loaded. If you were to accidently ask a question that wasn't...

Another loaded question. Define faith. Prediction: B57 will not offer a definition of faith. If he responds at all he'll accuse me of some form of dishonesty (i.e. avoiding the question or whatever) but he will not offer a definition of faith. Faith, the noun, is not listed as one of the...

Brilliant point, Marke! “We cannot assign any reason for his bestowing mercy on his people, but just as it so pleases him, neither can we have any reason for his reprobating others but his will.” (John Calvin, Institutes of Christian Religion, Book 3, Chapter 22, Paragraph 11)

It should be noted that the bible does indeed talk about various things being predestined. They aren't predestined in the same sense that Calvinists use the term. They've twisted that, just like they've twisted every other concept that pertains in anyway to doctrine and theology. The things...

Hury! Post something! Anything at all so that Clete's post isn't the last word on the thread for even one minute longer than it has to be! The more meaningless nonsense we post, the further his rational thoughts are buried into the thread so that maybe people won't see it!

Saying it doesn't make it so. I demonstrated clearly how this is false. It's the bible you have a problem with which is why you can't deal with it honestly. You're forced to pry individual phrases and sentences from its context and use them a pretexts to prop up a theology that, at this point...

I answered it in the only way it can be answered. If you'd actually read what I wrote and humble yourself just enough to actually look up what I told you to look up, you MIGHT be able to discern what it is I'm trying to tell you. Of the two of us, it is YOU who do not answer direct questions...

Already directly refuted. The fact that he simply repeats himself here as though nothing has been said in response is him telling an intentional lie. This sort of thing doesn't happen, at least not on a regular basis, with people who aren't selling a pack of lies. Ignoring contrary evidence is...

Boy oh boy what a gem of stupidity that post is! Do you understand what "begging the question" means? You need to look it up because you do it constantly without even realizing you're doing it. You've never been taught how to think in a manner that is consistent with either your previous...

You know what is most remarkable about this post? The fact that you had to post it at all! There are millions and millions of Calvinists all over the world all of whom call themselves Christians and say they love God and study the bible and go to church and do all the things that anyone might...
