I think the Calvinist icon should be a sceptre, because we RULE! :-D

The Message isn't much different than the NIV in concept or application.. at least the Message was written by a Calvinist. The NIV translators/"scholars" also made the TNIV, so that shows their credibility for faithful biblical translation pretty well. :sigh:

Read a book by one of my Elders, "Their God is Too Small" by Bruce A. Ware.

You're almost welcome. :-p

Knight, YOU STINK!!!!! (hope that helps your pride/humilty struggle)

Justification by works or merit, is, indeed, heresy in my opinion. I think we should be willing to firmly but gently let people who have bought into this trash (that rapes God of rightful glory) know where they are wrong and why, for the sake of redemption and God's proper glory.

Yeah, it would be pretty clear unless you consider the fact that in Genesis 2, the same Hebrew word for "day" is used to describe the length of time for all 7 days as a whole. So, how could they all be literal days if they're grouped into being one day as well? Sounds like another case of...

The word/s translated "Sons of God" in most Bibles is the Hebrew word, “bene Elohim”, which according to the context of the verse is better translated ‘Godly sons’, or the sons of Seth. The Nephilim is sometimes translated “giants” in bad translations. In Hebrew, if a word is used rarely or...

Yes.

Yeah, I'd prefer to avoid any dispensationalist-biased Theology books.

You need an HRB. (Hot Reformed Babe)

That's how it is where I live! Honestly! (I live at SBTS in Louisville, KY) :D

Read "Grace Unknown" and "Chosen by God" by Sproul.. amazing books.

I just posted an article I wrote about the Seeker-Sensitive church movement to my online journal, and I'd love any comments on it from you guys. http://www.xanga.com/writtenfromutopia/ (btw, the title is meant to be tongue-in-cheek, and is not about rick warren or his writings, but i...
