Mods, feel free to delete this thread. I'm not entirely sure why I posted it. I've tried deleting but can't figure out how to do it. Cheers.

What point? That badly articulated posts are well-suited for parody? :)

Yeah, you guys are probably right. I was kinda muddle-headed when I typed that. And a little angry I guess. Touchy subject for me. I've known some very, very nasty calvinists. Some of them personally. But there are a lot of them. Nasty ones. I'm familiar with some pretty good folks who are...

Why is Calvinism so dull? Why are so many calvinists mean, arrogant, self-righteous? Why does this one theology bear such bitter fruit? What's up with that? Why were the Puritans such jerks? They even made the zoos get closed this one time. Why is Calvinism like a club or a lifestyle where...

Thanks for the reply, AC. See, the issue is not masturbation, but my cleanliness; the thought that sperm makes things unclean, the thought that if there just might be some sperm in anything I'm using, then I'm in sin for using it. Anyone got any help to offer?

I do not seem desperate in the previous posts. And in fact I am not. But I must say that it is being quite a struggle, and help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. :)

Thanks for the reply. Well, I don't want to discuss masturbation here. I believe it to be sinful, but let's keep on topic. I know that sperm is harmless unless there is a venereal disease, which is not my case. But in the book of Leviticus, it seems to be treated as something utterly...

Hi. I made a thread about this a while ago, some of you may remember it. I didn't reply to it, although I did read the replies, which were of help and for which I'm thankful. You see, I posted the same thing on another forum and the folks over there offered considerable help, but still I...

(I'm posting this at another forum as well) Cleanliness and purity: I have a problem with it, and need some clarity in order to settle the issue. I will need to expose myself in a way with which I’m rather uncomfortable; nevertheless I feel it is necessary. This, as you shall see, has...

Susan, why must you deny heliocentrism in order to be a good christian? Do you suffer of the same paranoia I have? Sometimes I feel like everything secular is wrong, even education. I don't know if it's God speaking to me or if I'm paranoid. Well, it's quite uncomfortable, because I enjoy...

Hi Susan. I'm kind of in the same situation. I'm not an Arminian or a Calvinist... I just don't know yet. I believe I'll become a Calvinist one day though. From what I've seen until now, the Doctrines of Grace seem to be more biblical than the Arminian point of view. The reason I'm not a...

When I was attacked, I wasn't regularly going to church, but when I did go to church, it was not a charismatic one. I've had experiences... not because I wanted them or relied on them... they just happened. I don't know if demons can possess christians or not. I'd like to affirm that no, they...

Heydeerman, I agree that Scripture must be the christian's final authority when deciding what's true and what's not, but I don't think we should completely deny experience. I have been a christian for years, but have suffered demonic attacks. I don't want to describe them, but I'm sure they...

hmm... how about a smilie that just smiles?? It doesn't need to move.. it looses it's meaning.. I'm not nodding, just smiling :)

Please, I need a non-talking yellow smiling smilie. This one: :) is not good. I use it always after sentences to show that I mean well, but this one seems like it's talking or something.... not just smiling, which is what's supposed to be. But that's just me. What about this, you take the...

The NIV, paraphrased????? are you sure???

I think what matters is the meaning of the words, not the words themselves. Aaaand, yeah, modest convictions huh? hm yeah I'd say something about that, but I really need to go, I'd be glad to discuss this later :)

Well, what about: some say ghost, some say spirit. It doesn't matter. :)

That's cool, Sensei Piccolo, at least you want to change. What about starting by changing your nickname and avatar? I know it's hard to abandon a sin when you actually publically claim to love it, and people support it. Kind of like building a personal image and being too scared of a radical...

Would Jesus watch Dragon Ball Z and play Final Fantasy 8? Or you haven't been given that conviction yet? And... if one person has one conviction, and another person has another conviction which contradicts the conviction the first one had... one of the convictions is not of God. I know a...
