    Why do Calvinists....

    I don't know where you got that definition, since you didn't name the source, but I didn't find that definition in any source I looked at. Nevertheless, for the sake of this argument, lets go with the definition which you provided and see how that by using the definition you have given us...

    Why do Calvinists....

    Yes, I'm afraid I do know what you meant. You meant to intentionally post a lie about me, and now you want to go on believing that doing such a thing is alright. Once again, I didn't misquote anyone. However you lied and said I did. Seems to me your the one that needs to repent. I'm not the one...

    Why do Calvinists....

    Hold on there! I did not misquote Calvin. The words I posted were Calvin's, not mine. You would have been correct to say that I simply didn't post the entire commentary. Thats not the same thing as misquoting someone.

    Why do Calvinists....

    I sincerely thought my questions were honest, I'm sorry if you didn't think they were. I didn't mean to take a whack at a hornets nest

    Why do Calvinists....

    I apologize if I have offended anyone. I have not purposely tried to offend anyone. I have tried to keep my posts positive. If I have failed to do so, please forgive me.

    Thank you. That provides an answer to question #2, but not to question #1.

    Why do Calvinists....

    Scripture says: John 1:29 - Behold, the Lamb of God, that taketh away the sin of the world! Question 1 - What does the phrase "taketh away the sin of the world!" mean. Below is the same verse from another translation. John 1:29 - The next day {John} sees Jesus coming towards him and says...

    The world (ton kosmon). The whole cosmos of men, including Gentiles, the whole human race. - Robertson's Word Pictures on the use of "world" in John 3:16 And concerning John 12:19: First - The verse you referred to is a common example of hyperbole. Secondly - Who was speaking? The Pharisees...

    Why do Calvinists....

    The standard lexicons (such as Bauer-Arndt-Gingrich, Thayer, Bullinger, Vine, etc.) are unanimous in saying that kosmos (world) as used in John 3:16 refers to "mankind, the human race." This is the obvious sense of the word in this context. To say that kosmos in John 3:16 refers to "the world of...

    Why do Calvinists....

    Exactly, and I'm glad you see that, because saying that "Christ died for His sheep" is using the same pick-and choose tatic, which ignores not only what else John wrote, but moreover what else Scripture says outside of John's writtings. John also said: John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that...

    Why do Calvinists....

    No one denies that Christ died for them. It is only denied that Christ died exclusively for them. It does not follow from such a statement that Christ died for his church, or for his sheep, that he did not die for anyone else, unless, of course, the passage specifically states that it was only...

    Scripturally speaking

    The difficulty I have with the use of the above Scripture to make a valid point on the subject of this thread, is the fact that there probably is not another passage of the Scripture where we find so many theologians and Christian's on both sides of the tables who can't determine beyond a doubt...

    The Reformed rarely evangelize???

    I can't prove that right theology is not a fruit. I personally agree with you that it is. I was merely asking how you might respond to a few of the various comments I have heard spoken by those outside the Reformed faith. But I don't find the question meaningless.

    The Reformed rarely evangelize???

    Just so you know, I am not disagreeing with your reply. What might your thoughts be on the folowing comment: "Mat 7:16 By their fruits ye shall know them, (not by their theology)" And one more question. Which is more important, orthodoxy or orthopraxy?
