I take my leave
I was unaware that this was a forum that was against the biblical truths that are found in Reformed theology. Rather, there appears to be quite a large group of adherents to Dispensational theology and those who follow the teachings of Jacobus Arminius rather than the Word of God.
I mostly came here to talk about the Bible, but it's clear that i'm not welcome...so i take my leave. There's no reason for me to be part of a forum where i'm not wanted. My departure may even raise much criticism...but i can't see the benefit in staying. I sought to answer those according to their folly, but rather than accepting the truth they have grown in folly. Therefore, i will cease and desist lest i also be like unto them. Prov 26:4-5 Answer not a fool according to his folly, lest thou also be like unto him. Answer a fool according to his folly, lest he be wise in his own conceit. |

Hi Larry - sad to hear that you are withdrawing so soon. Why not stay a while and get to know some folks. Not everyone on this forum believes the same things about everything - it is just that some come right out front and state their case, as others hold their own silently and concentrate on the KJB. I hope that you stay and give it a little bit longer before you make your decision.
God bless PaulB |

But in no way do I believe that Calvinism is Biblical truth...man's philosophy is more like it. |

Mind your fingers in the door on the way out. 1 Timothy 4:1 Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; 1 Timothy 4:2 Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron; EDIT. And btw I am not an "Arminian" as you put it, I am a Bible Believing Born again Christian who follows the word of God as presented by Gods Spirit through the King James Bible. Calvinism is a mess, I pray the Lord opens your eyes and unhardens your heart in due time |
Larryb,
I think the FFF would suit you better, they have driven off all the Bible believers and turned it into the John Calvin Temple...maybe you would feel more comfortable there? Or maybe you are already a member there? :D http://www.fundamentalforums.com/index.php? |

Of course Calvinists will label us as such...after all, if your not a Calvinist then you must be Arminian. :D Notice how it's always about how men interpret the Bible with Calvinism, I don't know who's worse, the Calvinist or the Catholic. :eek: |

If my memory serves me correctly Bullinger was a dispensationalist and a Calvinist. Its a strange combinantion to me but maybe he may be of interest to you seeing you may be more receptive of someone who is of a similar theological feather. Keep an open heart and keep reading the scripture. |

Well, now you are aware. I am for biblical truths that are found in the AV/KJB, not "Biblical truths" from the deluded mind of a man such as Jean Cauvin or any other man. Quote:

Aloha all, Please take note of the way LarryB uses "words": Quote:
You will also notice also that LarryB did what almost all Calvinists will do (when presented with Scriptures that run contrary to his beliefs), he "labels" all those who disagree with him as following "the teachings of Jacobus Arminius (whom John Calvin had KILLED for disagreeing with him!) rather than the Word of God"!} Remember what I said at the beginning of the study on Calvinism?

"Calvinist" but staying
Well, I'm also likely in the minority on this forum as I would consider myself "reformed" (though Calvin did get the whole infant baptism thing all wrong) but I'm staying.
This is a forum about the authority of Scripture, and that's where I, for one, plan to focus my attention! <grin> Doug A. |

Larryb- If you are still reading these, I want you to know that I will pray for you. I will pray that GOD leads you in his truth. I have very little patience for false doctrine but endeavor to separate individuals from belief systems. My unsolicited advice would be to search your heart and see what your goal really was coming into this forum. That is between you and GOD. I love you regardless and will pray for you as I do the other members of this forum.
God, Show us your truth and not ours. Honest question since we are talking about Belief systems and Reformed stuff. How does the Reformists/Calvinists Church and leaders respond when asked about Michael Servetus and the others who disagreed with the Pope of Geneva, and were subsequently killed for their belief? When I was studying this, that raised a lot of RED FLAGS right away. Beheadings, burnings and imprisonment seem like a pretty stern punishment for "Heresy" even though Rome had been leading the way for a long time. I find it difficult to take anything Calvin said serious after studying that. I am glad that I learned about that after I studied their belief system though, otherwise I would have stopped looking instantly. Blessings to all, Brother-Smith |
It's always interesting to watch someone leave in a huff because their teachings are not immediately accepted by "the forum" (as if this is some kind of unified collective). It is plainly obvious that not all participants here are dispensational or non-Calvinist.
Anyway, there's no need to pile on here. |
