Calvinism and Context?

I am waiting for an answer to my questions?

Why aren’t you answering my questions?

You accuse me of not being saved.....so I am accusing you....because you aren’t answering my questions.

That is one big RED FLAG if you don’t answer them.

Speak all you want, what you preach is not in the scripture... no one is saved apart from hearing the Gospel and exercising individual faith.
And no that faith is not supernatural there are no adjectives like that in front of the word in scripture.
Faith is faith ....and it is the object of our faith that saves >> Christ Jesus. ...and this glorifies God.

We're expressing discretion. No sense casting pearls before swine.

You can’t answer....I question who you are...your teaching is false.

You expect me to give to a dog the children's bread?

Yes, our worldly adoption principle is a good metaphor for election. I am glad you brought it up.

It is the parents to choose the baby, it is never the baby that chooses the parents.
A helpless baby who does not see cannot hear does not perceive cannot possibly make any choices on its behalf. And in both cases the parents are not compelled in any way to do anything at all.

Earthly parents may choose a baby for reasons other than mercy and pity, yes. But the Bible is clear that we were chosen ONLY because of mercy and pity (as was the nation Israel). Now that we understand our adoption we are to order our lives worthily, as good sons who love their Father and demonstrate it in their lives.

On a similar note, God loves the unsaved. There is no question about that. And the parables of Jesus amplify this principle. But let us understand that the TYPE of love of God extends to the unsaved is ONLY pity and mercy. On wretched vessels that have no worth whatsoever. Unfortunately for the unbeliever Gods love does have a limit and that limit is met eventually.

Contrarily, Gods love for His family members is on a different level. It is infinite, it is the love of a Father toward His sons, it will never end.

I expected no less. But there still is the obligation to plead even as they're lighting the fires.

You raised a very interesting point and it is a red flag indeed that glaring errors go uncorrected by the Calvi camp.

You are a false teacher and should not be aloud to spread the message as you do.

You shall know them by their fruit....

Your words are just that,words...no depth or life...I don’t believe you are alive in Christ..you don’t even know what it means.

Christ is alive in a believer...

I always find it such a shame when I have to start wondering about people I thought I was simply having a theological disagreement with. But in their case such doctrine has usually hardened them to a point that they'll only realize when they shed innocent blood.

As are yours..a born again and yet you can’t answer my questions that are in scripture.

That is a very big RED FLAG.

I must caution you jackrosie, God has warned us not to try to count who the elect are. David's punishment from God for numbering Israel (Lacob/Israel, God's elect) cost him the lives of thousands of Israelites. 1 Chronicles 21.

When Jesus calls us, He bids us come and die. He doesn't tell us how specially chosen we are and fill us with the feel-goods.

Why do you insist that I have been taught by Mr Calvin.....?

The Holy Spirit indwells me,not Mr Calvin......he is not God.

She accuses me of the same thing, and I have never read any of Calvin's writings.

I just wish that these people would put out their doctrinal statement for everyone to read. Right now it's a moving target. A sane in gracious dialogue between us would be a wonderful thing!
