Are we talking Calvin here?....or a certain member?
My feelings would be hurt if they weren't still talking about me.

who is this person? and why are they allowed to just troll others and take over threads? I have been ignoring this troll and yet I see that on every single post I make, they mark on x or a laughing head or whatever. This is absolute troll behavior and I reported it but it seems they are allowed to continue with their subversive and divisive manipulations...

Kinda like following a novice "investor" on the market these days... volatile, unpredictible, buying and shedding stocks without
understanding the nature of the market... but even as all their stocks are devaluing its okay as long as you give the message with a
smile.
Dwindle that down to two sentences and I’ll be happy to read it.I am not the teacher. In that way we are to call no man or woman on earth. Master teacher , even jesus gave glory to the father unseen when called good Master.. . one is, our Father not seen, in heaven.
No psychoanalyzing . Fight nice again and again . My wise Mom would say. Family of 11.
We are not called to be psychiatrist. He in the multitude of counselors is the counselor . . not us. He teaches comforts and last but not least brings to our memories the things he has taught us in lessons of humility. . He can do the teaching, its that which we do defend . It works in us like armor
Psalm 94:19 In the multitude of my thoughts within me thy comforts delight my soul.
Psalm118:24 Thy testimonies also are my delight and my counselors
Or shown in the parable below.
Proverbs 11:14 Where no counsel is, the people fall: but in the multitude of counsellors there is safety.
The whole council of God as it is written
Believing is believing. Believing is not wondering.
He must do the first work of faith in us. . our first love or experience of believing in a God not seen (called faith) That faith which is not of ourselves takes away all the wonderings as doubting's .In that way doubt is not the opposite of faith . Unbelief "no faith" No shield as armor of God . No protection of His seed .
I think that is why Jesus informed Nicodenmus just after revealing a person must be born again .Marvel not . . but rather believe or exercise work out the unseen will .
Marveling or wondering places a person between to two burdens .(yes or no) Anything that is not of the faith of Christ that comes by hearing God is considered sin . it can break down the armor.
Romans 14:22-23 King James Version (KJV) Hast thou faith? have it to thyself before God. Happy is he that condemneth not himself in that thing which he alloweth. And he that doubteth is damned if he eat, because he eateth not of faith: for whatsoever is not of faith is sin.
Lenna busts into the thread inserts herself into everyone else’s conversation, sprinkles a little name calling, throws a few insults, reports a few people then probably logs out shaking her like: stupid calvinists...

Let them mock. They’re only making fools of themselves over and over again.actually, they are standing on a plank and mocking us.
I found it interesting she picked right up with others on @jackrosie being new around here...skipping right on over the things they said to her and many others that are way out of line. Yes, it is quite interesting, jumped right on in with them, being new...Lenna busts into the thread inserts herself into everyone else’s conversation, sprinkles a little name calling, throws a few insults, reports a few people then probably logs out shaking her like: stupid calvinists...

What’s it like being a puppet? Oh that’s right, you’re special.How about this one? View attachment 219144
No, I don't discard the synod of dort because your characterization. I discard it for the same reason I discard Trent, it was a purely political exercise. The magistrates had a political feud with Joseph Arminius and his followers so they invented a theological reason to go after him. It's quite hypocritical of you to complain about me ignoring Dort while you ignore Trent for basically the same exact reason. But in the typical fashion of a good "reformed" individual you misrepresent and strawman my argument. Augustine and Calvin would be proud.What is also funny is how @Bbrdrd tosses out the decision of the Synod because according to him it was a bunch of churches up against a smaller group promoting heresy. Yet isn't that exactly what happened with the 7 Councils?
He then uses the ecumenical Councils as his proof that they were correct in damning the heresies of their day, but not others, because others did it lopsided and biased, there were fewer numbers of the heretics, so it was "unfair", the others were biased in their doctrines, but not the ecumenical councils, because he says so. Yet that is a skewed view and is not accurate.
The glaring facts show decisions and verdicts were handled in the same manner within the 7 Councils as with the Synod of Dort. Smaller sects of heresies arose in the church period during the Councils just as in the days of the Synod. Documents were sent about and read to the church heads concerning the errors, were examined, and the larger orthodox body convened to condemn the heresies of Nestorianism, Pelagianism, Arianism &c.
It was exactly the same thing with the Synod sans any Catholic representation for obvious reasons. Handled in the same manner, the larger body of orthodoxy condemned the heresy.
To him it is different and unfair only because of his obvious disdain for the Doctrines of Grace. An overview of the details in history shows his view to be scanted in order to support him, not history, which is why he wants to toss out and mitigate councils he doesn't like.
When God chose me...I felt very special..if you take that as the words you have posted above.
We don't get to experience "everybody else's", and if that's true and we all feel special then why are you crapping all over her testifying it?Everyone is equally special in God’s eyes.
Oh, I see, she's here to help us...lol! You know, like Jobs friends? LOL!!!I know..she’s good at doing that....apparently she can sort members problems out..she posted that some way back on this thread.
I must look it up....LOL....she’s doing a good job so far!....LOl.
What do they get out of it?It is well known fact they have certain tactics they employ.... they are always looking for people they can mentor into the TULIP dogma.
