Hello Bob,
Maybe we need to address these matters so that all will really know what you are talking about.
My thoughts on Calvinism.

A good start would be to review the exchanges TP has been having and the detailed responses TP gives when specific points in Calvinism are challenged.
A short reading project of 3 or 4 small posts begins here

It is left as an exercise for the reader - to see the glaring truth of the point I made in my previous post about the matter.
In Christ,

If one were to pretend that the verse in Revelation to which you cite were referencing salvation (which it is not), one would note (as I have repeatedly) that Christ knocks. We don't knock on Christ's door, as many Evangelicals would apparently insist.
God has done all of the work neccesary for our reconciliation, up to and including calling us to that reconciliation. We do indeed choose to respond; however, to think that the response must be the "Sinners Prayer" or walking the aisle or some such is not only ridiculous, it is not Scriptural.
Your attacks are not only spurious, they are drawn against such a maligned and misrepresented form of Calvinism that they are almost comedic -- would, in fact, be funny were you to have any sense of timing and rhythm.
Now, once again, I have said my piece, and I challenge you to address the things I have posted, not some fantasyland idea of Reformed theology your preacher taught you about. -

Of all Bob Ryan knows the least what he's talking about. -

We do indeed choose to respond ...

We too believe the Spirit of God strives with all men and if we receive or reject that Spirit to receive life or by rejection receive death for the wages of sin is death but the gift of God is eternal life. amen,

Perhaps God does, and some humans for some reason do not respond. Perhaps God does not.
The definition of "a mystery of faith."
It is, after all, OK not to know everything there is to know about God. -
Now you say you have no idea.
I agree in the mystery of faith and we don't know everything. I am glad that you believe that too. -

What part do I have wrong and I will repost your statement?
Why you Calvinist so mean? -
The part you have wrong is wherever you imagine I said I know everything and then turned around and said I did not. Clear that one up, and try very hard to do so in English. -
Love the qouting of verses with no context to back it up. Classic Brother Bob debate tactics. He is the Founder of Burger King Theology... Have it your way. -

Opposite

I have no idea, and niether do you.
You said we had a choice and then said you had no idea weather we did or not.

This will be my last post with you and if you see me post to someone else please do not jump in anymore for it will not be addressed to you. I don't care to debate with small School children. Thank you, :thumbs: -

Go off in a snit, but understand that the debate is not, cannot be, either/or. God is much larger than you try to make God out to be. God cannot be completely comprehended, and attempts to do so consistently end up in error. -

I would much rather go off in a snit than to go off talking as if I were head and shoulders above everyone else. Do you really think anyone care whether you think our english or grammar is good or not. You are a self-centered wanna be.
