See sig below! In discussing Calvinism with an Arminian student yesterday, I quoted the sig below... Now this young man wants to borrow my copy of Boettner's "The Reformed Doctrine of Predestination"! May God be praised.

I love telling people that I believed in TULIP before I had read ANYTHING by Calvin. The look on there face is priceless!

“It is foolish to be lavish in words and niggardly in truth.”
“Surely the words of inspiration were never meant to be boot hooks to help a Talkative to draw on his seven-leagued boots in which to leap from pole to pole.”

-Charles Spurgeon

I didn't know I was a Cavinist till I read Pipers desiring God! I had been for quite a while when I realized it. The book just matched most of the things I had discovered in the Bible for myself. I still havent read any Calvin. LOL

 

[HiredGoon]

"For the use of an altar is to make sacrifice upon it: the use of a table is to serve for men to eat upon. Now when we come to the Lord’s board, what do we come for? To sacrifice Christ again, and to crucify him again; or to feed upon him that was once only crucified and offered up for us? If we come to feed upon him, spiritually to eat his body, and spiritually to drink his blood, which is the true use of the Lord’s Supper; then no man can deny but the form of a table is more meet for the Lord’s board than the form of an altar." -Thomas Cranmer

 

[cygnusx1]

I ask that my name be left silent and people not call themselves Lutheran, but rather Christians. Who is Luther? The doctrine is not mine. I have been crucified for no one. St. Paul in 1 Cor. 3:4-5 would not suffer that the Christians should call themselves of Paul or of Peter, but Christian. How should I, a poor stinking bag of worms, become so that the children of Christ are named with my unholy name? It should not be dear friends. Let us extinguish all factious names and be called Christians whose doctrine we have. The pope's men rightly have a factious name because they are not satisfied with the doctrine and name of Christ and want to be with the pope, who is their master. I have not been and will not be a master. Along with the church I have the one general teaching of Christ who alone is our master. Matt. 23:8. (Against Insurrection, 1522).2
