Calvinists in word and in deed. True Calvinists indeed.

[CCWoody]

We have the truth. We believe that the Lord has left for himself a faithful witness to the truth of the Scriptures. We are Calvinists and we are not ashamed of this. Yet, of whom must is given, much is required. We are not to be Calvinists in word only, but in deed as well.

Mat 25:16 GB

(16) Then he that had receiued the fiue talents, went and occupied with them,....

​

Let us be occupied with our Master's business. Let us not bury what the Lord has entrusted to us. And, with that in mind, here is a thread that needs our attention: How do you find comfort in God?

And for some wierd reason, after the Athiests were complaining about how burdensome the Lord is, this post seems to have stopped them cold. And that after the Athiests accused us of posting and running.


The Arminian is hamstrung in his theology. He believes that God loves everyone redemptively. The Atheists correctly points out that a god who cannot have what he wills is a god who deserves no respect. We are not so burdened.

What if we knew that it was impossible for us to fail. What if we knew that it was impossible for us to say the wrong thing and ruin someone else's chances forever. What if we knew that in victory or in defeat, we were the sweet savor of Christ in the nostrils of the Father. How bold would we be?

2Co 2:14-17 GB
(14) Now thankes be vnto God, which alwaies maketh vs to triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest the sauour of his knowledge by vs in euery place.
(15) For wee are vnto God the sweete sauour of Christ, in them that are saued, and in them which perish.
(16) To the one we are the sauour of death, vnto death, and to the other the sauour of life, vnto life: and who is sufficient for these things?
(17) For wee are not as many, which make marchandise of the woorde of God: but as of sinceritie, but as of God in ye sight of God speake we in Christ.

Armin theology is fulla inner contradictions, sadly.

Even more sadly is the universe they build around each of their contradictions, in order to keep clingiong to 'em. Universalism is one extremely logical outgrowth of the lack of a belief in an L; open theism also stems from a misguided view of free will.

Funny, how right Van Til was when he said the further you stray from Calvinism, the closer to a cult you become. (but he said it with a LOT more words than that.)

LOL, somebody who's been posting here is obviously a bit disturbed.

How can we question god, for it's written??? Maybe you haven't noticed what else is written all over the world. Do you believe all of it??

It's not a question of daring or not, but a question of intelect and reason.

Maybe you should actually read what is written on black and white... No contradictions??

In my line of thinking, for you, it's not a matter of daring to question God or not, it's simply a matter of brainwashing and stupidity

If God loves everyone redemptively, as the Arminian claims, then why aren't all men saved? If their claim is true, but all men aren't saved, then God has failed to save all of those whom He sent Christ to die for. Christ's death would be a waste since he took the sins of all men onto Himself on the cross. But if that is true, then men wouldn't have to "say the sinner's prayer" since everyone's sins were already covered in the first place! Am I the only one confused by the twists this theology takes?!?

No, Plenty of people get confused by it IF they think about it and reason it out. And you are seeing the contradictions their theology inevitably produces quite clearly. I've said before that Arminians are like people who expect to find gold just laying about on the ground, rather than having to dig and mine for the gold, and expend some effort to obtain it. They read the Word as though it were merely one-dimensional, all truth laying open and exposed for all to see. They are baby Christians, who cannot handle anything more than milk, and they stay babies so long, the milk spoils, because they pollute it with spittle and other things. The ones that grow and learn in the word, eventually become Calvinists, sometimes quietly, sometimes fighting all the way until God opens their eyes to the Truth.

You have learned early what the Truth of scripture teaches. Rejoice and Praise God for His mercy and lovingkindness in revealing His Word to you, and study to grow in Grace and Truth.

Blessings,

Indeed. The stupidity of the heathen never ceases to amaze me; well, it never really starts either, after all, can we really expect someone who is disobedient toward God to be smart? Surely not.

That these people are so dense as to not even realize that their own presuppositions are dependent on the propositions of Scripture is just one of many testaments to their blindness. Ask any of them how they know what they know. Ask them to justify their epistemology. If they even know what the word means, they'll give you some nonsense like, "I sense, therefore, I am." At that point, you have them in a death grip from whence they cannot possibly escape.
