CHRISTIANS CAN UNDERSTAND THE WORD OF GOD
Give me understanding, and I will keep your law and obey it with all my heart. PSALM 119:34
All Christians have a right and duty not only to learn from the church’s heritage of faith but also to interpret Scripture for...

Well, blogging and moderating on CF aren't necessarily compatible. I read complaints about MOD staff, but wonder sometimes if folks realize just how much time some of us put into this thing; and how crazy some of these threads get.

One could surmise from these gems above that there is no discussion on the doctrines of salvation in this thread.
from Spurgeon's sermon Christ Crucified:
