TULIP John 6:44 No man can come to me (T) Unless the Father (U) Draws them to me (I) Then I will raise them up (L) On the last day (P) God bless, William

Hi Big Drew, I recommend a video series on the subject: Amazing Grace - The History and Theology of Calvinism - Christforums The video also includes the historical context of the TULIP so that you can understand it better. And also: The Meaning of "FOREKNEW" in Romans 8:29 - Christforums I...

I think Hillary lost because Americans are sick and I mean vomiting in their mouth type sick over her and Obama's liberal ideology.

No, there's no clarity in that post.

I'll stick with the theological clarity seen through the lens of Reformation Theology.

Right, nobody else does that. Consider actually looking towards the direction theologians are pointing rather than at them. Your perspective is totally religious and man centered.

Consider: Religion is chiefly the study of a certain kind of human behavior, be it under the rubric of anthropology, sociology, or psychology. The study of Theology, on the other hand, is the study of God. Religion is anthropocentric; theology is theocentric. The difference between religion and...

Exactly what does Theology mean to you?

With no emphasis on theology how do you know you're rightly worshiping the True God?

In case anyone is interested in the actual Reformation and what led up to it: "Pelagianism was condemned. Six years after the council of Carthage a general council of African Churches reaffirmed the anathemas of 412 AD. Zosimus sided with Pelagius in 412, he wrote a letter condemning the...

I agree. It is like us Presbyterians, the PCUSA is so liberal that it hasn't anything really in common with Presbyterians other than its form of church government. Some of the Lutherans I read from on this board make me want to vomit in my mouth. There are some though that I respect, but if...

Whenever the devil harasses you, seek the company of men or drink more, or joke and talk nonsense, or do some other merry thing. Sometimes we must drink more, sport, recreate ourselves, and even sin a little to spite the devil, so that we leave him no place for troubling our consciences with...

How do Protestants view Martin Luther? Seriously?

In our natural state we are all slaves to Sin John 8:34. The regenerate man is considered a slave to God, as Biblical greats considered themselves Romans 1:1; Titus 1:1; James 1:1.

Amen, Scripture is a good way to keep grounded during such delusions.

Why would you believe any memory or delusion from a meth induced psychosis? Before you think I do not understand, I battled a 15 year meth addiction. What you're describing took me nearly two years to overcome. The flashes, and delusions, and even audible hallucinations continued until after a...

Just like to say as I read your post (which I enjoyed), God does not promise happiness to us all. He promises joy found in him here on earth and life eternal. One really only needs to look at the lives of the Apostles, the horrible deaths they suffered, or the First Century Martyrs for His name...

Ah, wish I could be more help. God bless, William

Well, some of the OPC uses instruments, and the congregation sings from the hymnals. Some are psalm singing only with no instruments though. If you're looking for entertainment, jungle drums ect, then this Reformed church probably wouldn't fit you. The OPC follows the Regulative principle in...
