You completely missed the point I made.
I say this in love: I encourage you to improve your writing and reading skills in English.

May God bless you.
I am moving on from having any further direct conversation with you at this point in time.

Ignorance is bliss right, 🤩

No worries m we can chat again but do try to leave other people's ideas out of it.
I much rather talk to the real you m.
 
Cameron is not interested in you knowing exactly what he believes.
True. And another trick: changing their religious masks more often than Ethan Hunt in a Mission Impossible movie......:)
Or simply putting a bag over their head so that nobody will ever know what they are looking at to begin with.
 
You do not perceive reality.
What is reality m

Can you define what is normal.
Is your everyday life, is it the same normality as any other person,would you like it be, ?

Could you find it reality that people have to clean up your poop

Or could it become a reality that you could be put in prison and forced to clean the dirtiest sewers in the USA

As I think that's the only way you will finally get the message you spread nothing but rubbish

Is this perceiving enough for you m

Always thinking for other people, is both what you genez always display here

Just like genez your free will has been enabled to be controlling.
 
If we act fast, we can make this a really scary movie before Halloween!

Any unbiased researcher can verify what I said with an internet search. Even Calvinists admit to deception or stealth tactics by other Calvinists infiltrating other non-Calvinist churches.. So stop the gaslighting, please. It's not going to work for a person with an internet connection and two brain cells kicking together and a little courage to look into this matter.

Also, ask yourself, why are there books by Calvinist authors encouraging their adherents to their extremely hateful behavior?
I believe it has to do with theology itself. For if God forces some to be saved and He forces other to not be saved, then that will affect a person's own outlook morally.

You are still unteachable, I see.

You ain't going to make it without sound doctrine!
None of us can....
“For My thoughts are not your thoughts,
Nor are your ways My ways,” says the Lord.
“For as the heavens are higher than the earth,
So are My ways higher than your ways,
And My thoughts than your thoughts. Isaiah 55:8-9​


Religion only gets one to worship how one feels about a matter.

You want reality?
Do you really?

Maybe, you desire only to better perfect protecting your own sense of reality?

His thoughts are not our stuffy thoughts.

Learning sound doctrine is the only Way to be transformed correctly.
Sound doctrine is only for the humble.
For sound doctrine corrects.
For it will expose how stupid we wanted to be.



Then Jesus told his disciples, “If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself
and take up his cross and follow me. For whoever would save his life will lose it, but
whoever loses his life for my sake will find it. Matthew 16:24-25​

The corrections would demand that you lose your life.
Finding ways to counter the correction would be wanting to save your life!

For whoever would save his life will lose it, but
whoever loses his life for my sake will find it.
The Holy Spirit must do the work.
 
Calvinist is a label thrown around by those who do not like having the Bible truths they are
uncomfortable with presented to them, to smear those they disagree with, so they can pretend
we base our beliefs on some old dead guy and not the Bible, while they pat themselves on the
back for their beliefs, even though they contradict and deny what the Bible actually says, when
they are not busy rewriting it, sometimes even the very words of Jesus Christ Himself.
It's very important for them to carefully construct their strawman. Otherwise, they can't refute sound doctrine.
 
No I don't. Plenty of people know what I believe.
They just don't like how you question them, but you do so to get a solid grasp on what they believe, and are always willing to disclose your beliefs when asked, unless it has become a matter where someone repeatedly refuses to answer your questions while demanding you answer theirs, and such abusive power plays are called out by you and for good reason, those others are the ones hiding what they believe, at times, knowing their opinions don't square with Scripture, or what has actually gone down in some discussion, we see it all the time with free willers willfully lying to misrepresent themselves and others... so this accusation of you is false as per usual. We have had people new to these convos enter them making provably false claims and they carry on in that vein for the duration of their stay... Even when the FWers repeatedly butcher Scripture and are corrected multiple times, they come back and do it again, so it was nice to see one of those finally post the full verse and not butcher it as usual to make it say what they want it to instead of what it actually does.
 
Unless @NightTwister replies to my last post to him in this thread, I’ll be moving on from this discussion.
In the meantime, thank you all for engaging with me on this topic.

May the Lord Jesus and His good ways shine upon everyone here, even upon those who do not share my belief on this matter.

I hope you finally come to believe what the Bible says over your opinion. Bye for now.
 
Unlike many here, will answer your questions. Ask away.


Do you believe Irresistible grace is an accurate understanding of how it works?
Can you explain how it works?

Do you believe Jesus only died for those who would believe?
And, did not die for the sins of the whole world?

And... If so?
Why is it so?
