I don't. I believe all that fulfilled its purpose and has been put away for something far better. I think going back to this old system is/would be, a slap in the face of Jesus. The temple, the sacrifices, the law, Israel, the Jews, these all had a purpose, they were all pointing to something...

And the truth is that no matter what you do or say, no matter how clearly you present and back up your argument with scripture, no matter how much ground you give trying to come to a common understanding, no matter what, you've already been labeled and will now face the wrath of the CDSC (Calvin...

This is not true at all, and the same thing that is always made. This is a strawman and only serves in making yourself feel right. No one is making the argument you're tearing down here, who says we are just puppets or that God makes all the decisions for everyone? Only those with CDS (Calvin...

This isn't true at all. You assert it with great confidence, but it just isn't true. What you hear is "we don't have choice or agency", but that is not the same thing as saying "we don't have free will". Jesus tells us we are SLAVES of sin, that is NOT FREE will, and that is how we are ALL born...

I honestly think you nailed it in your comment, we are told what we believe after we are labeled "whatever". I am not a Calvinist at all, I've never read Calvin, never sat under the teachings of the 5 points, never claimed to be one, never taught from the teachings of Calvinism. Yet here have...

I don't understand what you mean here exactly. Is Jesus not seated on His throne now, with ALL authority in heaven and on earth and must reign until everything has been put under His feet? My King reigns right now, and His kingdom will grow until everything is under Him. Like the mustard seed...

Amen, that's how I read it as well. Rom 2:28,29 28 For no one is a Jew who is merely one outwardly, nor is circumcision outward and physical. 29 But a Jew is one inwardly, and circumcision is a matter of the heart, by the Spirit, not by the letter. His praise is not from man but from God...

As it is written: “There is no one righteous, not even one; there is no one who understands; there is no one who seeks God. All have turned away, they have together become worthless; there is no one who does good, not even one.” 2 Tim 2: 25 God may perhaps grant them repentance leading to a...

What do you mean? We all reject God until He draws us and He grants up repentance and He spiritually resurrects us and reconciles our BRAND NEW spirits to Him self. We ALL reject Him and the oly way any of us "choose" Him is by His power, not our will. We are NOT saved by our will. ALL glory...

So it was the choice that saved them, not God. That's what you're saying here, that Jesus made a way, but it's up to YOU to make the right choice in order to be saved. Do you not see that your assertion here makes salvation nothing more than a human choice? Do you not see this gives us a reason...

This is only hard for those who haven't been spiritually born again. No, our will is NEVER "free" and is always a SLAVE of our nature. We are slaves to sin or slaves to obedience leading to righteousness. Gods word NEVER teaches us "free" will. The problem I see here far too often is people who...

Bull, this is what the opponents of Calvin SAY that they believe, but you guys lie. You suffer from Calvin Derangement Syndrome and are blind to it. What you say "they" believe, they don't. Second you put this Calvinist label on people who aren't Calvinist right before you just pin this straw...

Who says "they" can't? You and your crew are the only ones looking at this topic like this. We preach daily it's not us that save but God, you are the people that put salvation squarely at the feet of men and what they choose. You're so deluded that you just seem to be lost and blind at this...

Not to mention they reverse who is taken and who inherits the earth. In the times of Noah, it was the righteous who were left behind and the wicked who were taken away. Why do they flip this with no reason at all?

Sorry but from my point of veiw this is just adding your ideas TO scripture, or ADDING to His word. This is not the proper way to handle scriptue, we don't come to the scripture with an idea and "find it", we read scripture and draw from it. With all due respect, I couldn't just read His word...
