There's no reason it should have been flagged though. There was nothing slanderous or bigoted or, frankly, offensive about it. I've seen much worse offered by Arminians--Thibby has several, in fact--which I would never consider flagging.<br /><br />I wish people these days would grow a spine and a thick skin instead of being such whiney pansies.

It is 98% satire and humor. I have a few "followers" who are Arminian. Some appear to enjoy the humor, others seem to keep an eye out for opportunities to speak their mind. (..which is fine with me, I was an Arminian once myself!) I posted an entry about "Arminian Armour" showing the "chinks in the protective gear" and was flagged abusive by someone. I had no idea (wish Blogger would inform the flagged) until a reader tried to post the entry on Facebook and was blocked. Where Triablogue uses logic and language, my site uses visuals and humor to make a point. I clearly state that I am a Calvinist - everywhere - yet I get reported for something a little sharp for an Arminian. Honestly, and I'm not patting myself on the back, I wouldn't flag an Arminian cartoon or post if I didn't agree.Eddie Eddingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15864410680077755048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6789188.post-91525944481345603962010-06-07T16:33:45.751-04:002010-06-07T16:33:45.751-04:00The Seeking Disciple said...

If God is for us, who can be against us? <br /><br /><br />Well, according to your statistics, there are more of them against us than for us; and if the Apostle Paul got it right, which I do believe he did, there will be remarkable increases of more of them against in the days to come?<br /><br /><br />2Ti 3:1 But understand this, that in the last days there will come times of difficulty. <br />2Ti 3:2 For people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, proud, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, <br />2Ti 3:3 heartless, unappeasable, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not loving good, <br />2Ti 3:4 treacherous, reckless, swollen with conceit, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, <br />2Ti 3:5 having the appearance of godliness, but denying its power. Avoid such people. <br /><br />The word "avoid" seems to have itself both ways! :)<br /><br />We, on the other hand, can have it only one way!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6789188.post-83753436381699487852010-06-07T15:26:10.773-04:002010-06-07T15:26:10.773-04:00Arminianism heresy - 225,000 results
