    Cool. Do you hike or climb or ski or forage for mushrooms, etc., etc.? Are there bears or wolves there?

    Does it have to be 1,2 or 3? There's lots of reasons why each side believes various interpretations, both sides believe they are following what the bible teaches and affirms to be true. I respect those that hold to historical confessions, although for me, its not something I really care about, the bible is present and available now just the same as the Lord is, there's no reason to have a one or the other position.

    All, but no wolves other than the local zoo, just a bit away., they even try to shoot the bears that have recently been introduced.

    The Boletus / Cèpes mushrooms are great here.

    I can only speak for myself.

    I wasn't taught Calvinism. I read God's Word. I believed what I read. I came to the same conclusions that I later learned was generally called "Calvinism".

    When I find something in scripture that is contrary to my understanding, I seek to understand it in the context that it was written and reconcile what I know to be true from other passages. I change my mind and agree with scripture.

    The more I study, the more the doctrines of grace are affirmed again and again in scripture.

    So, why doesn't every Christian agree concerning the doctrines of grace?....

    I don't know, but I pray they'll....just keep studying with an open mind....

    peace to you:praying:

    Translation: I have no idea how to answer this question so I'll make demeaning comments, laugh at him and defer to the Holy Spirit, then hope no one will notice my diversion techniques. :rolleyes:

    Hows that one :)

    Basque country is nice, great culture and some great cheese.

    Shame about the terror thing though, why they just don't give it to them I will never know.

    Not all Christians believe in:
    the inerrancy of the Bible
    The deity of Christ
    the imminent return of Christ
    The virgin birth of Christ
    Various miracles

    yet all these are true.

    I would find it hard to understand how a Christian could not believe in the deity of Christ, I can agree to the others though.

    It's either because you're not a Christian, or you're an ignorant and proud one.
