This has nothing to do with whether or not I regard you as an equal. This is about a difference on opinion on a particular doctrine. Then would you like to start with Romans 8?
And you think you can get me to believe Romans 9 does not prove Unconditional Election? Gee! No kidding. Calvinist here. We're really not into believing pulling out one piece of scripture to prove something. Part of what we believe is the scripture has to go along with the rest of the book, or we're misreading that scripture! (Not bad for a group who can't grasp scripture, huh?)
It is as if you're trying to convince me to buy an apple because you can prove red.
1. I don't care if you can prove red.
2. I don't want your apple.
And stop saying "studying" when we all know your form of study is pulling out your old teachings on something. That's called "teaching." Not "studying."
0%! Just went from 10% to 0%! I have no trust for people who don't even listen to what I'm saying because they're too busy formulating their next prove-a-point.
