Brother Tim, Chette and Brandon,
I think I'll steer clear of those on the Fighting Fundamentalists Forum! I've met enough of them for a lifetime. I've seen them so often in online so-called "Christian" chatrooms! Yep, they love to fight!! And they love to post quotes from perverted Bible translations. If I post there from the KJV, I automatically get slapped with an "inflexible fundamentalist" label. GOOD! Let them label me as such - I'm SOLID in my faith and not tossed about by every wind of doctrine! (Eph. 4:14) Jassy |

I like to use my armor. I'm not much in the hospitality or "feel good" gifts, though. That is OK, because God made each of us to fit in a special place, within the body of Christ. |

Re: "My Intro"

I want to echo all of the other welcomes coming from the brethren here on the Forum. At the risk of sounding presumptuous, you stated: "I'm still confused about some things. For example, God chooses us:" If you care to check out my Thread & subsequent Posts on Calvinism, you might find some information that may be of some help to you. The main body of the study on the Five Points of Calvinism (T.U.L.I.P.): http://av1611.com/forums/showpost.ph...53&postcount=1 http://av1611.com/forums/showpost.ph...59&postcount=3 http://av1611.com/forums/showpost.ph...44&postcount=9 http://av1611.com/forums/showpost.ph...9&postcount=45 http://av1611.com/forums/showpost.ph...0&postcount=67 http://av1611.com/forums/showpost.ph...9&postcount=89 http://av1611.com/forums/showpost.ph...5&postcount=96 Additional comments in answer to some questions: http://av1611.com/forums/showpost.ph...6&postcount=13 http://av1611.com/forums/showpost.ph...3&postcount=16 http://av1611.com/forums/showpost.ph...9&postcount=25 http://av1611.com/forums/showpost.ph...7&postcount=37 http://av1611.com/forums/showpost.ph...7&postcount=52 http://av1611.com/forums/showpost.ph...2&postcount=54 http://av1611.com/forums/showpost.ph...9&postcount=59 http://av1611.com/forums/showpost.ph...1&postcount=60 http://av1611.com/forums/showpost.ph...5&postcount=62 http://av1611.com/forums/showpost.ph...7&postcount=73 http://av1611.com/forums/showpost.ph...5&postcount=75 http://av1611.com/forums/showpost.ph...0&postcount=87 http://av1611.com/forums/showpost.ph...&postcount=101 http://av1611.com/forums/showpost.ph...&postcount=110 http://av1611.com/forums/showpost.ph...&postcount=117 All you have to do is "click on" the Link and it will take you to the particular "Thread" or "Post". I know this is a whole lot of information, but I too wondered for many years about these things before undertaking this study. I believe that if Christians sincerely search for the truth, God will show them (in His own time) the truth. It took 40 years of study and preparation before I could try to "tackle" this issue; I couldn't have done it 10 years ago - I wasn't "prepared", and God hadn't revealed some of the things to me, that He has revealed in the last few years. If you have any questions - you might check out the "comments" Posts. There were several questions from some of the members of the Forum and I may have already answered your question elsewhere. Psalms 33:4 For the word of the LORD is right; and all his works are done in truth. |

Thank you for your welcome. I've studied Calvinism in the past - but you've posted some good things previously, so I will study again and I'll respond after some time. I don't yet know your view of Calvinism but, when I studied it in the past, I felt that it didn't fit, overall, with the Bible. I know some diehard Calvinists that INSIST that their T.U.L.I.P. is the only way to believe. I thought that the Word of God was the only way to believe! Thanks for reposting some links to your previous threads. (Oops! I originally typed "threats"!! and that was totally unintended! Good thing I caught that and changed my typo!) I've been a Bible reader and studier for about 30 years. Jassy |

Yes, we are all DIFFERENT parts - but like a body, unless it is diseased, all the parts work TOGETHER for the good of the whole. Jesus Christ is the HEAD or the BRAIN that every other part must be plugged into in order to correctly function. I love that analogy! (1 Cor. 12) Jassy |

I hope I'm not responding to ALL of your posts but I can't help it! The fact that you reject Calvinism and Arminianism with little or no biblical construct is fascinating and wonderful. What a testimony that is to understanding the character of God by faith alone in His goodness. I used to be absolutely tormented by this issue. If you become even remotely familiar with a dispensational framework for viewing the scriptures as a whole I know a whole lot of confusion will just 'melt away" as it did with me. If I could I would mail copies of some of Dave Hunt's books to you. I would especially recommend "What Love Is This? Calvinism's Misrepresentaion Of God" and "A Woman Rides The Beast". They are graced by the Spirit of Truth. |

You are most welcome to respond to any or all of my posts! I'm happy to communicate with a sister in the Lord! I think that I am more familiar than would be suggested by some of my posts. However, I am just not "up" on the terminology used. I've been studying the Bible for over 30 years (most of that in the KJV/AV), so I do think that I have a pretty good grounding in the Word of God.) I have primarily studied it on my own - not in formal Bible studies or groups or in a church. I know what Calvinism is and I rejected it when I heard it. I have in my mind what I believe the Holy Spirit has led me to. I trust in that. Thank you for the book recommendations! They sound very good and I'll look for them. Jassy |
