Yes this happens quite a bit, years possibly, seems like reinforcements are sent in.
I want to distinguish between returning as 'new', which I understand to be perfectly normal, and pretending you are not talking to yourself.
 
Ephesians 1:4?
What were we chosen for?
For salvation?
Or, for what our salvation would bestow upon us once we were saved?

God the Father chose from out from of all the souls whom God knew would believe.
To have only certain ones to become the Bride of Christ.
That is why it says specifically in Ephesians 1:4, that we were chosen IN Him.

For where was the bride of Adam being hidden before she was brought forth?
She was being hid "in Adam."

It does not say we were chosen for salvation before the foundation of the world.
But, rather...

He chose us in Him, before the foundation of the world, to be holy and blameless
in His sight. In love...
.

I cannot understand the appeal of this "system" at all.... it just seems to me anyone who has family, friends, neighbors or co -workers

that they care about, would be beside themselves in sorrow daily, not affirming triumphantly on a message board how they have

been chosen for salvation.

I am not sure if they are new or returning (agree that does not matter) I just remember a few years back when the Calvinists were outnumbered and they were shown over and over again to be teaching a faulty system, all of sudden new members would come and jump right into the thread directly, could be just one of those things.

My guess, they knew each other from other message boards, maybe they travel in packs, lol.

Maybe sock accounts ..never thought of that.

I notice the laser focus on the subject and I can't help but wonder about it.

You caught on fast... kudos to you!
Hard to miss.

I was browsing a different site. They restricted participants access to their boards. As in,Christians Only.

Not that there is any way to insure the rule.
I will say though after the blessedly short lived encounter with that one, it seems to have pricked others like him to speak up and show themselves.

This place is called Christian Chat.
I thought it meant it was a place where Christians gather in community.


Or, is it instead means as a place where the fallen talk down to Christians?

You have enemies here Sister. "Disruptor"? That's your job?

Accusations about sock puppets? When all the sudden,after I called out that one,all these "different(?)" accounts start attacking you and me both?

Supporters of Calvinist theology that are not Calvinist... I seems that is either the latest fashion trend, or crazy.
Speaking of crazy, I do wonder how many sock puppets are in circulation. :unsure:
Maybe you see sock accounts because you're unaware people can discuss Calvinism and its tenets as relates to those being in the Gospel, without being a Calvinist.

Or maybe you see sock accounts because you poked your own head out of the drawer and think others don't notice.

I'll be ignoring you now Lambchop.

Over the years people have learned how controversial and disruptive such teachings as "irresistible grace" can be.

So? Some people, by nature. Just love to stick the contradiction it to others and at the same time feel they are intellectually superior.

I sure does appear to be that way...

Oh yeah, constructing a platform on risers the better to condescend others since it's 'too complex for you'. This reminds me of the toffee fay commercial I had taken to heart as a child, "Toffeefay, it's too good for kids..." Of course, the advertiser added the grampy saying to the kid, "but not too good for you," but all that did was make me wonder, "...but ...what about me?":cry:

It gets boring after a while.
Totally.

Because the same things get repeated over and over as if that will better explain things, when it can not.
Therefore. It is disruptive.

Interesting.

I was just reading about how these "so called doctrines of grace" have been so disruptive and have caused so much strife in the church for years and years.

Lots to unpack there... so they are actually feeding their flesh ... you know I bet there is also dopamine thing going on, that would explain a lot as well.
 
I like your new picture.
The backdrop is my view of city's 4th of July celebration that my newest little blessing slept through. The grand finale woke him and caused him to look up at me with great concern in his eyes which provided the opportunity to assure him that he is safe and born in the USA! This succeeded in dissolving his trepidation as he turned his attention to the volley that then was sufficient to hold his interest. 🤩

There is no shortage of names I get called by false accusers who prefer their lies to the Bible Truths on which I stand.

He was a liar from the beginning. Remember Jesus calling out his accusers? Same reason. "...you are of your father the Devil."

Jesus said we would be hated just as he was hated.

Don't you love it when his teachings from thousands of years ago are shown to be relevant, revealing, today?

Revelation 22 verses 11-13 ~ Let the unrighteous continue to be unrighteous, and the vile continue to be vile; let the righteous continue to practice righteousness, and the holy continue to be holy.” “Behold, I am coming soon, and My reward is with Me, to give to each one according to what he has done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End.”

That's truly sad.

Thank you all for welcoming me.
You will find out, and have already seen it, that a certain person exaggerates and accuses others of absurd things. The person lashes out at those who express a different theological viewpoint. Most people here are not like that, they gently and politely respond to critique. They don’t insult or spew forth heated hostility.

Keep your eyes open and consider the prevailing attitudes.

Welcome aboard!
