  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Why do people blame calvinists ?

So you have no scripture proving my position is wrong?

You’d have to tell someone your position and by what evidence you hold to it, Dave. I’m saying if between yourself and Rick you have made some claims, it’s not his job to prove random claims wrong, it’s your job to prove your claim is accurate.

So what’s your claim and why is it accurate?

Then a more helpful discussion can begin. :)

Prove it wrong if it is as you say.

What`s to prove? Only people who think they save themselves are people who think works save.
Your bizzare accusation is unfounded. According to the OP I`m not an Arminimaniac anyway because I believe in limited freewill. I was just curious to see what scriptures you twist into the shape of your view.
I`m starting to think you don`t really have any.

Every action you say disproves freewill will probably leave some limited freewill choices that I can identify. I haven`t tried this exercise before but that is the result I expect.

Why reply if you have nothing to affect the outcome?

Jesus saves nobody if he died for all and all are not saved.

Dave says Arminimaniacs make themselves their own savior instead of Jesus. He had some term for it that started with a P. Real stomach churner of a heresy. That kinda got me started, and since then he`s asking me cute questions attempting to trip me up because I believe in limited freewill.

He appears to prefer using philosophy and what he considers to be logic over using scriptures.

I think Dave has some problems with ideas like the burden of proof :doh: His style appears to be...

A. Make unfounded claim...

B. Demand reader disproves unfounded claim...

You need to produce scripture proving me wrong, not your "feelings".

It's the outcome of saying Jesus died for everyone when he did not according to scripture.

Watch out for dust when you crack open your Bible!

For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.

whosoever
WHOSOEVER, pron. who, so, and ever. Any one; any person whatever.

“All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out.” John 6:37 (NCPB)

Only believers call on the name of the Lord. But faith is a fruit of the Holy Spirit = only the saved can believe.
