Really doesn't address my post does it? When and how was tradition shared between people of Egypt, Asia, Corinth, Rome etc, if it ain't in the scripture.Normally the Bible isn't spread alone, but with tradition. Without tradition, if people were just given a Bible who knows what would come out of that?

The crowd stands in an eerie hushed silence
Do you seriously think that referred to a Scriptural statement?Yes by the meaning of the language, not the literal words.
Yes and God being love is in direct opposition to divine determinism , Calvinisms double predestination , irresistible grace just to name a few .Agreed. . .not only from the mouth of God, but so has the rest of Scripture.
The way it is now?Normally the Bible isn't spread alone, but with tradition. Without tradition, if people were just given a Bible who knows what would come out of that? Probably thousand of different doctrines.
Now if Calvin has only written such. . .Yes and God being love is in direct opposition to divine determinism , Calvinisms double predestination , irresistible grace just to name a few .
Are you really denying double predestination and the “ I “ in tulip ?Now if Calvin has only written such. . .
Now what are you going to say , still deny it ?Now if Calvin has only written such. . .
I'm denying the wording of it as the wording of Calvin's detractors rather than his own wording.Are you really denying double predestination and the “ I “ in tulip ?
I'm going to say. . .don't see him using "double predestination."Now what are you going to say , still deny it ?
[W]e say that God once established by His eternal and unchangeable plan those whom He long before determined once and for all to receive into salvation, and those whom, on the other hand, He would devote to destruction. We assert that, with respect to the elect, this plan was founded upon His freely given mercy, without regard to human worth; but by His just and irreprehensible but incomprehensible judgment He has barred the door of life to those whom he has given over to damnation. Now among the elect we regard the call as a testimony of election. Then we hold justification another sign of its manifestation, until they come into the glory in which the fulfilment of that election lies. But as the Lord seals His elect by call and justification, so, by shutting of the reprobate from knowledge of His name or from the sanctification of His spirit, He, as it were, reveals by these marks what sort of judgment awaits them (Institutes of Christian Religion (1559), book III, ch. xxi).
Do you understand for God to create people for the sole purpose of going to hell with no opportunity to repent of their sin and suffer eternal torment is unloving ?I'm going to say. . .don't see him using "double predestination."
As I said previously, you can't have one without the other, therefore, "double predestination" is redundant.
If you predestine some to glory, have you not thereby automatically destined the rest to non-glory?
Do you understand that to destroy the nest of rattlesnakes in my backyard is loving?Do you understand for God to create people for the sole purpose of going to hell with no opportunity to repent of their sin and suffer eternal torment is unloving ?
Have you stopped beating animals? Yes or no.Are you claiming it is loving ? Yes or no
Maybe I should be asking @Clare73 to define love. Maybe you have love confused with hate .
I can't define the parameters of the meaning of the infinite God's love.Maybe I should be asking @Clare73 to define love. Maybe you have love confused with hate .
Shows you understand Romans 9:20. . .the number who do seems to be growing smaller and smaller.I`ve always been fearful of questioning God and to this very moment just want to conform my will in line with His but this issue was always in the back of my mind as an unspoken concern.
