Let the best theology win

So, you see it as a contest that somebody wins and loses? I don't.

 

See above, first reply in color.

Frankly, I find your attempt to divide Arminians and Calvinists into winners and losers as pathetic and immature.

 

Pistols at 20 paces!

 

If you look carefully at the life of Jesus you will see that he cared much more about how people lived and treated each other than about every jot and tiddle of their beliefs.

Reading through the give and take in this thread I truly wonder if:

1. It makes Jesus want to throw up.
   [*]It makes Jesus want to laugh at our foolishness.
   
   
   I cannot figure out how I can do both at the same time.
   
   Blessings.

 

Luke said the following

Luke is absolutely correct in what he said here. The part I bolded is troubling. To me that implies that you don't know what you are going to get till you get in side, like a Forrest Gump: "My momma always said, "Life was like a box of chocolates. You never know what you're gonna get."

We may have our problems, but at least I know what doctrine of salvation I am going to hear when I walk into one of our church houses.

 

You may have a good point here:
It's not easy to be willing to see the SBC divided, but it may be the best thing in the end.

 

Yes, but only a single action six shot revolver without a high power sight may be used by the participants.

Each participant must have had and paid for a 6 week training course in dueling.

Participants will receive a duelling permit after paying the appropriate fee and passing the written duelling examination (an additional fee for the test will be paid for on the day of the test).

All weapons to be used must be registered and the appropriate fee paid for the purpose of using the weapon in a duel.

All weapons to be used in the duel must be examined by an ATF officer (paid for by the participants) just prior to the duel.

Dueling must be performed in designated dueling areas ONLY (a slight fee will be charged for the use of the field).

Note: All fees must be paid up by the participants BEFORE the commencement of the duel.

Some states have group duel discounts, all other laws and fees apply.

Still, you had better check with your local law enforcement agencies first.

No but it does come under the "This is immature stupidity" guidelines.

 

In my immediate area all the churches are Arminian. There are now two sovereign grace churches, one to the east of me that is twenty five miles away that was started in the eighties and one south of me that is thirty five miles away which was started about ten years ago. The members in both churches all came out of Arminian churches. I think if you done a poll there would be more people that came out of Arminianism and went to Calvinism than the opposite. Personaly i don't know anyone that once was a Calvinist and then turned into a Arminian.
