Which is why other than the lack of substance, I agree with everythign Beowulf said.<BR/><BR/>I mean, it's obvious that Beowulf is quoting what Calvinists would say Arminians would say Calvinists would say, and therefore (unless you're as blind as a Jew) he obviously means the exact opposite of what he says.<BR/><BR/>Can't you see it?Peter Pikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11792036365040378473noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6789188.post-25785060010243287152008-10-16T22:46:00.000-04:002008-10-16T22:46:00.000-04:00Christians interpret the Old Testament by the New,...Christians interpret the Old Testament by the New, not the New by the Old. The New is concealed in the Old and the Old is revealed in the New. Calvinism is nothing more than an extension of the ethnic argument of the Jews that Paul is arguing against in Romans. In Romans, Paul is arguing against Jews who say that God arbitrarily chose to save all Jews and damn all Gentiles, and that the sin or even unbelief of the Jews cannot change that (i.e. once saved always saved). Calvinist just take the same WRONG Jewish theory and apply it to individuals rather than nations. But Paul shows that all hinges on God's foreknowledge of faith and election is not arbitrary, not for individuals nor for entire nations as if God would save all the Jews despite their unbelief. All is predicated on faith. And God elected by foreseen faith. Calvinists will do anything to redefine the term prognosis, but it is particularly cheap and stupid to appeal to heretical Jewish racist Judaizing views to try and save your God-hating deterministic accusation that God is the author of your sins. The Jews tried that one on Paul already, and he disproved them. Every passage that seems to teach Calvinism in Romans is a quotation of a Jewish opponent, and you are so blind you have become non-Jews who argue like non-elect Jews.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6789188.post-71297705844075922502008-10-15T22:40:00.000-04:002008-10-15T22:40:00.000-04:00"How would I recognize a "Christ-like" person?
