Overcoming

[Martin Marprelate]

Calvinists portray God as the author of sin.

You really need to stop writing that because it is not true.

 

[Anthony Pritchard]

The Book of Life is about a whole lot more than overcoming.
I am a five-point Calvinist and I take exception to being called a 'Deterministic Fatalist.' You may of course continue to use the term so long as you don't mind being called a Pelagian. Also, if you want to discuss Calvinism vs. Arminianism you should use the eponomous forum, so that I can have nothing to do with it.
But if you want to discuss the Lamb's Book of Life, open a new thread and I will happily discuss it with you as I have time. Right here I will just refer you to Rev. 13:8, where we are informed that some people's names have not been written in it, which appears to contradict your post #17.

Agreed regarding the Calvinist forum. The main thrust of the article was eternal security as shown by the Book of Life. The subtitle may have suggested a broader debate, but the focus was the permanence of the believer’s salvation.

The point about the Book of Life wholly refuting Calvinism on its own was an added observation, not the core argument, and in hindsight I should have left that aside. My intention was not to derail the thread or provoke anyone.

As far as being called a Pelagian, I could not possibly care less.
