Note that none of the above establishes the Calvinist doctrine of Limited Atonement. Notice how b57 simply presumes the truth of his doctrine and reads it into the texts he cites and then states the doctrine as fact and pretends that this is sufficient in spite of the biblical texts that...

You aren't entirely wrong but are making a dispensational error in that you are ignoring the different dispensations. As for the current Dispensation of Grace and the Body of Christ.... 2 Corinthians 5:1 For we know that if our earthly house, this tent, is destroyed, we have a building from...

There is no profit in listening to a known fool. There is no tactical advantage to giving ear to lies. The mere fact that you can tolerate listening to more than 15 seconds of CNN is evidence of a flaw in your character. The fact that you hold Fox News on equal footing with CNN is proof of it...

As JR said, that is indeed the entire point. Calvinist contradict their own doctrine practically with every breath they take. How many thousands of times a day does a person make a choice? How many times an hour does a person exercise his will?

You find profit in getting a view that is openly, demonstrably and intentionally false? Why? Do you read both the bible and Koran? Do you listen to both the Baptist preacher and the Mormon? Do you give equal time to both employers and thieves? Do you hold the thinker and the fool on equal...

There was never a time when CNN had anything that was unbiased. It wasn't as bad in the 90s as it is today but to call it unbiased is a stretch. Actually, the whole idea of "unbiased" gives more credence to the left than they deserve. It presumes that they might be right. They aren't...

Do you think that Murdock buying CNN would be a bad thing or a good thing? Almost no one watches CNN so I don't even understand how they're still in business in the first place.

No, he hasn't changed his belief. He believes contradictory things and doesn't care about the contradiction. Actually, it's not that he doesn't care about the contradiction. If he didn't care, then that extra statement in their Elder's Affirmation wouldn't be in there. He does care, but in the...

So, I just read that article and it made my head nearly explode. All I see throughout the piece is talk that only makes sense from the perspective of Free Will theism if not outright Open Theism. He talks in the article as though we do whatever it is that he thinks faith entails but in the...

Repeat after me.... "I commit the logical fallacy known as "begging the question" every time I open my mouth!"

I did a little looking around and while I didn't find the quote you're thinking of, it was still worthwhile to look for it. I ended up reading a sermon by John Piper and an essay written by Charles Spurgeon and I'm glad that I did because its one thing to come here and pound amateurs into dust...

The closest to that specific subject I've got is.... “We hold that God is the disposer and ruler of all things, –that from the remotest eternity, according to his own wisdom, He decreed what he was to do, and now by his power executes what he decreed. Hence we maintain, that by His providence...

Define "persuading"! The Calvinist has a true psychosis. It is my firm conviction that b57 does not see it when he contradicts his own doctrine practically every time he posts one of these doctrinal proclamations. How does this "spiritual work of persuasion" fit with either the Calvinist...

Well, its not like I'm trying to fundamentally change what's been proposed. In fact, I like it just the way it is except, since we aren't a nation who's being fostered by God Himself, we need a way to get out from under a rogue king. Honestly, I'm not that creative. I have little doubt that...

First of all, if your doctrine were right, it would mean that your god predestined whether I would believe the things you say long before either of us existed. Secondly, and more importantly, you've shown no such thing! You know that you haven't and what's more is that you do not care. The fact...

It shows no such thing! What your post shows is the danger involved in bringing your doctrine to the text. The bible can quite literally used to justify any odd ball doctrine anyone cares to hold. All one has to do is bring his doctrine colored glasses with him and put them on before starting...

The Calvinist testifies against himself! He doesn't deny that he worships an unjust god, he doubles down and pretends that the bible teaches it! The bible can be used to argue ANYTHING if you bring your doctrine with you to the reading of it. No one who understands what b57 understands is...

Meaningless double talk! Again, the Calvinist psychosis where they blindly (or is it blithely) contradict one doctrine in order to state another. Calvinists do, in fact, believe that every single solitary event that happens, whether done by man, beast or inanimate object, was infallibly decided...

Translation: God set your house on fire so that He could have an opportunity to come rescue you from the flames. Had He not set your house on fire then maybe He wouldn't have had an opportunity to be so "merciful"! Oh, and by the way, whether your family gets rescued from the fire God set is...

B57 does not answer direct questions.
