40% maybe. But on the Calvinist side even that 40% is tainted by a darkness of their dark view that makes God out to be as evil as Satan.

In regards to the reformed doctrine of predestination, right?

Why do you say "reformed" for catholicism-lite which is what Calvinism is? The anabaptists are more reformed; they don't baptize babies. Nor do they worship Augustine, a Catholic theologian. Stop with this "reformed" nonsense and call it by its proper name.

You ignored my question, so I’m guessing you don’t even want to have a discussion about it. Have a good one.

I asked this question in the feedback section but I got no reply. I'm just wondering, who has the vote on what topic is considered "controversial" on here? Isn't there some theological bias here? I think it's unfair to have some views deemed "controversial" when maybe even most people do agree to with it and it is scriptural. Was a poll taken or something to see if the majority believes a topic is controversial or backed up by scripture? Because some topics on here can be easily argued by scripture with no bending it to fit a person's interpretation...

For example, souls in hell eventually getting destroyed can easily be backed up by several verses on how God destroys both body and soul in hell and how the wicked will perish, not to mention the term "forever and ever" in regards to the beast and the false prophet in the lake of fire actually being "ages of the ages" from the original Greek which refers more to eons, which is directly from the original Greek word in the bible "Aeons", which refers to a fixed time with an eventual end, however long that may be. I always get upset that the KJV got that one wrong, despite being a pretty solid literal translation in most other verses.

Anyways, how does the person decide what is controversial on here and is there a poll done or something because it can be pretty biased and insulting, not just to the person but even to God, when some topics are actually scriptural and directly from the book...

There are some guidelines in the rules section of Christian Forums that designate certain topics as restricted to the Controversial theology forum.

From the Christian Forums Statement of Faith:

Faith groups and individuals that deny the full, eternal deity of Jesus Christ or His incarnation whereby He, as God, took on human flesh (becoming fully God and fully man in one person), are considered non-Christians at CF. Posts that deny the full, eternal deity of Jesus Christ or His incarnation are considered non-Christian theology and are not allowed in "Christians Only" forums. Discussions in all "Christians Only" forums must be in alignment with Trinitarian beliefs.

Challenging Paul's position as an Apostle of Jesus Christ who (although not one of the original twelve) was sent forth by Christ after his conversion [Acts 9:15-16], or arguing against the inclusion of Paul's writings in the New Testament canon, is not allowed in any "Christians Only" forums (including the Controversial Christian Theology forum). You may disagree on the interpretation and application of his writings, but not their place as canon or Paul as an inspired author of Scripture.

Unorthodox Christian theology may only be discussed in the Controversial Christian Theology forum. These unorthodox topics do not directly oppose the Nicene Creed, but are not considered to be orthodox on CF. These unorthodox topics may not contradict the Nicene Creed. Non-Trinitarianism may only be discussed in the Outreach category forums. Gnosticism may not be discussed in any CF forums. The Controversial Christian Theology forum is open to Christian members only (faith groups list). Unorthodox Christian theological topics include (but are not limited to):

• Annihilationism
• Full Preterism
• Open Theism
• Universalism
