Calvinist Kitchen...stirring the pot

[Grandpa]

A very odd pitcher to see; The natural man, who cannot understand the things of the Spirit, and thinks them to be foolishness, repenting of breaking a spiritual law that he cannot understand. The natural man will not do that, infact, 1 Cor 2:14 says he cannot know spiritual laws, because they are spiritually discerned. The only way that the natural man can understand spiritual things is after he has been quickened to a spiritual life.

This is the difference in understanding between the child and the man who has grown up.

The child thinks his choices are the cause of everything. Bad choices cause bad things and good choices cause good things.

The grown man knows that his choices were never good enough to deserve the blessing that he receives in Christ.

Quote from online...

Often,we will find out what we are made of by what “COMES OUT OF OUR MOUTHS” in both good and bad circumstances.
When we have a change in “CONDUCT “ and character in our lives,it is a type of spiritual fruit .Galatians 5:22 says,”But the fruit of the Spirit is love,joy peace,long suffering,kindness,goodness,faithfulness,gentlenes,”SELF CONTROL “.

A Christian life should be characterised by these things.

Are you producing fruit?

Or is the opposite true? Instead of love,is there hatred,bitterness,or even prejudice in your life? Instead of joy ,is there constant gloom?..instead of peace,is there turmoil? Instead of gentleness,is there a “SHORT TEMPER? Instead of faith ,is there endless worry?Instead Of meekness ,is there “PRIDE and ARROGANCE?
Instead of self control ,are you a victim of your own passions?

If so,then either you don’t KNOW GOD at all or a RECOMMITMENT TO CHRIST would be in order.

Isn't part of the "vail" that was taken off our eyes (and hearts) the fact that God is in Charge? Even though bad things happen and evil is in the world the Lord is still able to pull us from our natural thoughts and what those lead us to and give us His Thoughts (the Mind of Christ) and what those lead us to.

Romans 8:28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.


There is a way to look at the world, that most do, that proves that the evil one is in charge here.

But the Lord shows us a New Way to look at the world that proves that He is in Charge.

You offer nothing spiritual pal....nothing but regurgitated, repackaged Phariseeism with a John Calvin twist....make no mistake about it junior!

Pal,junior,....Instead of any biblical response?

I understand. Stick with things you know.
Water good, fire bad, deep thoughts🥴🤔🥴🤭

 

[Iconoclast]

Now you are making God and Christ liars. See John 3:16,17.

You do not begin to understand John 3 after all these years.

I just really wonder who appointed you as judge of person's spiritual life?

 

[EleventhHour]

Maybe because what you say contradicts scripture......Insta fruit is a misnomer....and false...my bible teaches growth and maturity = fruit....but hey....the Lord will sort you out when you kneel before him!

But my "insta-fruit doctrine" allows me to judge what I perceive as a lack of fruit in another.

I fully reject “your” truth....now.......I follow the Holy Spirit....you are free to accuse me of what ever.

Only it has no impact...I look to the Holy Spirit to guide me....not man.....I will always post what I believe the Holy Spirit is saying through me.

As for fruit.....you are way off the mark.....but I wouldn’t be so rude in my approach as you are....from what I read of your posts......you ignore the word “fruit” your the one missing out on that not me.

You stated openly you were following the Holy Spirit while following Dcon. Now you say the opposite. Your flavor of the day changes with the wind as you post statements you show no proof of even understanding. 🙄

Yes JR, you’re swaying is old, and tiresome.

Amen again to this Granpa!....He sure is in CHARGE!!.....Praise His Holy Name!

Is He in charge of your grammatical errors?

those who wander -- are not always lost. ☺


but those who never wander -- may be stuck in a box. unable, unwilling to become as Christ said we Must become in order to enter the Kingdom.

Those were predestined.

Sounds like Kamala Harris.

I ignore nothing from the word and it is very interesting to me that just a mi th or so ago you were unsure of your salvation, and now all of a sudden you are a master teacher.....listen.....you are wrong....bearing fruit is a process of growth and maturity....you can deny it, argue against it, stand against it, oppose it all day, month, year and until you take your last breath and you will still be wrong!

But hey....keep believing what you think you know and following men......God will sort it all out and you will not be arguing with him over his obvious truth!

 

[dcontroversal]

I agree with everything you say here......he even makes up excuses about the fruit of the spirit.....we know what they are....Jesus fruit should shine out from within us........all he has ever done since I've been here is insult and belittle......nothing to do with bearing fruit....in fact I don't think he knows what it truly means.
He makes up what it means in his own human understanding....which is false.

Bearing false witness is a lie....one of 7 things God hates....is that the fruit you bear?

Have you read every post I have made? NOPE....the above drivel is bearing false witness....something you are known for....I suggest you repent, openly apologize and seek mercy from God.....the fruit above is NOT from the HS!

Yawn.....is that the Online version of the bible you are quoting...

How about these statements..

YOU blind leaders of the blind.....

You Hypocrites

You white washed coffins filled with the bones of dead men

You generation of snakes and vipers

See....your hard fast rules just placed Jesus and John into the same group you placed me in.....Thanks......not go study honestly, get right, actually trust Jesus and his word and quit bearing false witness.....Proverbs 7....One of 7 things God hates and you do it quite regularly...!

We already know you reject scripture....why cast it out to be trampled..and the implication is obvious!
