But in order for Jesus to be understood "accurately", we have the objective propositional truth claims of divine revelation. What would you know about the Messiah apart from the written Word of divine revelation?
And I bear that slander proudly; for a disciple is not greater than his Master; and the Master was accused by the Pharisees of being the devil himself!

You don't have doctrines of grace. you have doctrines of condemnation. There is only one gospel and Calvin did not write it. I am not the dishonest one here. Get over yourself. In fact, just take a look at how condemnatory your posts are. I never ever said you or anyone here do not believe in Jesus. Isn't that against the TOS? Are you trying to get me banned maybe? You cannot show anywhere that I said you do not believe in Jesus as the way for salvation.
You have already accused me of having heretical beliefs. Be careful I don't report you for such statements. Honestly, you people are threatening and just plain nasty.

David prayed that God would not take His Holy Spirit away, yet these people seem to think they control God in some way. Dumb, ignorant, deceived. Pick one. (or more)
WISCONSIN FRAUD UPDATE (via @EndWokeness): At approximately 4am, once again, a mysterious "Ballot Dump" puts the Democrat Senator ahead of the Republican! How many more election cycles will the RNC allow this blatant fraud and corruption? @ChairmanWhatley @LaraLeaTrump https://t.co/NEdA6zE07k" / X

Anyone else notice how this particular poster just replaced the gospel of Jesus with Calvinism and called it God's grace?

What part are you? the Co. et al? We are to keep our eyes on Christ who is the Author and Finisher of our faith. Hebrews 12:2 Calvin plays no part in salvation nor any system imagined in his name.
Since you broached those terms, now go stand in the mirror and answer this question: Was David a New Covenant or Old Covenant believer? Be sure to get back to us with your answer.
And what part of this truth can't you understand:
Rom 11:29
29 ...for God's gifts and his call are irrevocable.
NIV
And to what covenant does this truth apply: New or Old Covenant?
And finally, please tell us which of your above derogatory terms did freely choose for yourself?
Calvin was God's gift to his Church at a critical time during church history. So...there is that...
I feel free not to waste my time.
You are not as important as you see yourself being.
Your lack of credibility has been revealed in what you proclaimed.
And, too many see through your inability to grasp what you are shown.
and wishing to recreate what you want to see..
Its come down to...…
Why should I bother with you, when others here already see you are wrong.
And, those who line up with you? Make them know its group think, and nothing more.
Paul was given the gift to heal. Right?
But?
2 Timothy 4:20
Erastus stayed in Corinth,
and I left Trophimus sick in Miletus."
Problem with your thinking...
You over simplify...
Snip out of context, and put a wall around it.
Then dig your heels in.
Then, go looking for cheerleaders to join in with you.
You are looking for a 'gang.'
Translate: Oh....due to my superficial knowledge of the scriptures, which runs about as deep as a mud puddle, I plumb forgot about the Old and New covenants and how radically different they are and that king David was an OC saint, as were Saul and Sampson who suffered loss of the Holy Spirit. My mind's in a blender; I just can't remember... But I'm just too dishonest and duplicitous to publicly confess my shortcomings.
And quit flattering yourself and your fellow comrades. The only things you guys have shown me is that you and your ilk will go to any lengths to pervert the Gospel of Jesus Christ because you have such unjustifiably high opinions of yourselves -- just like the Pharisees of Jesus' day.
