Featured Calvinists can't stand when smart people don't agree with them.

With all due respect, neither of us exist to provide evidence for the other. But it just so happens that I've learned quite a number of things from non-Calvinists.

 

Agreed!!! What edification comes from this?

 

Wise words...and a sad choice that is probably beneficial and wise as well. Several of us have made attempts to address things via the rules and protocol here. Many attempts. Not even a response was given in reply. Then looking at the OP we have a continuance of the same nonsense. I'm happy for one Amy that you examined things and came to a greater understanding. That right there shows maturity and humility.

Unbelievable. Stunning. Almost comical

 

While I wouldn't go so far as to say Calvinism is of Satan, take a look at the article cited by the OP. Here is Piper's own words regarding Chesterton's book:

Nothing in this Calvinism-abominating book....

So Piper's opinion of non-Calvinists is that they are abominating? Nice...

 

Skan, another member of the BB brought to my attention that I misread your post. You wrote:

I responded as though you said were asserting I was unwilling to learn from a non-Calvinist. I'm guilty of misrepresenting you and of being ungracious in my words. I humbly apologize and ask for your forgiveness.

 

Did he say that was what non-calvinists were, or did he say it was the THE BOOK that was?

????

It's the latter not the former.

And he's right.

 

Yup, exactly. The OP is a horrendous representation of the article. You can certainly tell what mind set one was in when reading it: total disdain for the cal brothers. If in fact he actually read it.

Not that this is shocking. It's an ongoing agenda. Thread after thread.

 

A distinction without a difference.

 

Only to fit your mindset. Piper said nothing toward Chesterton that was evil in intention. Your conclusions are merely reflecting your bias against truth.

Thus the distinction is a VAST difference and you are being disingenuous.

Here's the facts; You accuse Piper of saying this toward a man and 'non-calvinists'. This is an untrue and baseless accusation, none of this took place at all. It's pure fabrication, fantasticalism and emotionalism on your part and there is nothing to back it up.

Pipers comments were about the book and what it said.

Now answer the question, was his comment about the Book or about 'non-calvinists' as you accuse so I can judge how honest a man you really are.

Note he called it a CALVINIST-abominating book...he never even came CLOSE to saying non-cals are abominating which is your erroneous and baseless conclusion. Simmer down.

 

The OP serves no purpose other than to stir up trouble. And started by a moderator no less. If the moderators act this way, there is no hope for this board.

 

You're correct.

Not to mention it totally misrepresents the article it links. To top that nonsense off we have one concluding that Piper, who calls a book 'Calvinist-abominating' is calling 'non-cals' abominating. I have to laugh at this ludicrous and unfounded charge.

These are two perfect examples of reading and subsequently arriving at illogical and baseless conclusions. Both subjects are non-cals.

Go figure.

They probably can't stand it when I (and many others) continually point out their glaringly obvious blunders. :thumbsup: :wavey:

 

OK, back into the killfile with thee.

 

Yes, which is typical behavior of those who won't own up to truth or their mistakes. Go for it, it reflects your nature to not face reality or own up to you being, yet again, wrong. :wavey:

 

Don't you just love those who do all they possibly can to stir the pot, and then suggest that YOU need to simmer down. Incredible.

 

It is breathtaking.

But everyone who reads my posts on BB knows I'm a fantastic, emotional liar who never cites references, so what can I say?

 

Just stay exactly like you are, if someone gets their knickers in knot, just chillax and let it roll.

 

And Im guessing that a Moderator startin a post thread with "Calvinists can't stand when smart people don't agree with them" has no repercussions?

Lets face facts, that is just kicking dirt in the face of every Calvinist in here......no wonder there is a mass exodus & it aint just Calvies, or haven't you noticed.....
