I would not have assumed otherwise. You know there are a lot of people here who make all kinds of
assumptions. Like assuming I am a Calvinist, for instance. I am not. I am a Bible believing Christian.
But those who disagree with the Bible verses I believe love to put forth logical fallacy after logical
fallacy hoping to silence me. So far it has not worked. Some of those same peeps shamelessly lie
about Calvin too, and then they want us to believe they are excellent researchers. I know they are not.

From-Romans7-18-19.png

From Romans 7 verses 18-19 Journey from Inability to Ability I know that good itself does not dwell in me, that is, in my sinful nature. For I have the desire to do what is good, but I cannot carry it out... I keep on doing the evil I do not want to do. Praise be to God for circumcising my sinful nature, causing me to obey by putting His Holy Spirit in me, and giving me a new heart.

Seems to me you cared what others thought of you.

Biblically we are supposed to. Are you suggesting otherwise?

The U.S. Constitution's prohibition against cruel and unusual punishment was not directly motivated
by the actions of religious reformers like John Calvin. Rather, the Eighth Amendment was largely driven
by Enlightenment ideals, a desire to prevent state-sponsored torture, and negative experiences under
the English legal system and British colonial rule. The origins of the clause are firmly rooted in English
law, not religious figures from the Reformation. <= ai overview. Yeah, people love lying about John Calvin.

Calvin was against burning at the stake but many repeatedly misrepresent that fact. Even after being corrected.

To me they were born first and everything else proceeds from that. And what is clear is that it
is born of God's will, not man's... and this is plainly stated, but free willers reject that outright.

It is God's will that men be granted free will.

If God did not grant man free will?
Then man could not have free will.

God's "enabling" grace makes sure that when man makes decisions concerning man's judgment that grace
makes that man to be without excuse.

Since what may be known about God is plain to them, ​
because God has made it plain to them. For since the ​
creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—his ​
eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, ​
being understood from what has been made, so that men ​
are without excuse. Romans 1:19-20​


"Without excuse" means?
Man decided! Not God.

You just can't figure out how that is so.
So you jump inside your toy chest and shut yourself in to keep out the light,
to remain playing with your TULIP game.

stop thinking like children

I’m sorry but I don’t mean to say whatever you think I said. I’m encouraging you to not worry about what others think if you are trusting in the Lord then it doesn’t matter what anyone’s opinions are of you. You commented on my posts so I’m giving you encouragement to not worry about what people say.

You are assuming I am worried? Why? Your point is somewhat lost in the hypocrisy in which it was enveloped.

Of course it wasn't. It's a ridiculous statement. But it is the modus operandi of some here to pronounce falsehoods and others blindly accepting.

If I was a betting person, I'd bet the new ager in this thread will agree with you.

She believes people have evolved and do not need God in order to come to believe.

Of course that flies in the face of what Scripture actually teaches, but some here don't give a hoot about that.

But you are relatively new here, yes?

It is sad that one has to inure themselves to how easily and frequently others lie.

And then be told not to care about it. LOL. Jesus cared about it. Paul did too.

And certainly God does. Caring about the things God cares about is a central theme in theology.
