Five Articles of the Remonstrance of Jacobus Arminius of 1610

It's actually NOT a friendly notice... that is a lie. You are only showing by your bad fruit that there is something spiritually wrong with you. This is not Christ-like behaviour. Disgusting.

Thanks Brother, it would be unfortunate to get banned for calling a heretic, a heretic (a biblical thing), but i understand, thanks

Ad-hominem attack...you know nothing about me...and I am a Daughter of The Most High...not as polite as you seemed afterall....

Look i don't know what this is about, but if your not a universalist and someone accuses you of being one, then just reply back with a thoughtful comment and defend yourself in truth, instead of a harsh judgementalism Spirit.

Am i wrong?

I can see your full of pride and wickedness, "look at me im a daughter of the Most High", get a load of yourself, this is a loving rebuke in Jesus Name.

DB7 why are you being so rude to Whispered?? She has done nothing wrong she is only quoting scripture.

I am fed up of being treated badly by other Christians just because I don't agree with their Calvinism. I am weary of explaining myself to them and they need to be reminded that I am God's Child and they are being rude to me. That is not wicked and prideful it is the truth. They need to check themselves and how they are treating other people who are actually God's children. You are judging me, you are wrong to do that. God knows my heart and you do not. It is just more rudeness, which is not walking in love like God tells us to.

Sorry im not buying it, may God indeed judge your heart at the Judgment Seat of Christ then, if indeed your being sincere and not lying right now, then it will be just fine

Butterflyyy

There is nothing disgusting whatsoever in my remark about being a universalist.
It is friendly, if someone thinks you are an universalist it could be something you said.
I have not attacked you at all, but I would say this, you have constantly mocked in this
thread, mocked Calvinists and Calvinism, that is your right. You don't come across as
a saved person, you display temper and tantrums, I forgive you of course and I apologise
for offending you.

I honestly don't think you know how to discuss theological issues, you have said nothing
Christlike since being in here, you don't show maturity, and certainly don't progress
a Christ like forgiving attitude.

In short, it may be better for you to move along, you certainly don't know how to discuss
in a friendly way.

I wish I could say something nice about you, but I cannot.

Also this is a good reminder for everyone, that God will judge us all, so be careful how you behave:

Ecclesiastes 12:13-14 The end of the matter; all has been heard. Fear God and keep his commandments, for this is the whole duty of man. 14 For God will bring every deed into judgment, with every secret thing, whether good or evil.

Christians should live in a Holy Fear of God, BTW im just pointing this out, not against you Butterfly (since you claim innocence, so be it), but just a general reminder for everyone of this truth.

you have to let it go

they have been at it for about 2 months now

you are not going to change them but you do have to let it just not attach itself to you

I do not think the spirit behind Calvinism is the Holy Spirit and the nastiness (and believe me you have not actually seen how bad it can get) is certainly not a gift of the Holy Spirit

I think dude has a nerve though in telling people to move along. he doesn't own the forum

don't let him push you around and again, no use to complain about his character. he is perfect in his own eyes like most Calvinists seem to be

this forum is not as moderated as most are and so people say things here that they would not say in another forum without getting banned quite frankly

I have come to appreciate the fact it is not as moderated...you get to know who you are dealing with

we should moderate outselves...you know if you have to have a moderator come along and tell you that you are not being nice, there is something wrong to begin with anyway

one more thing butterfly...Calvinists specialize in the ad hominim attack...the personal attack

that is how they pull you in or try to, in order to take your focus off the actual discussion

it is nothing but bait and very stinky

yeah

about the language

it should be reported

it IS against the TOS

it has been reported

is there a reason you will not use the quote feature?

half the people here don't know who you are talking to

Correct. Reformed Theology is biblical in many areas, but strangely enough it is not in the matter of the Gospel. TULIP does not represent the true Gospel.

7seasrekeyed, Butterflyyy, and Whispered

All your posts are there for people to judge who have mocked, who have displayed
disregard for the Word of God with cartoons and jokes, which are not funny, all these
have gone with no response from anyone. I have pulled up someone and you three have
turned every word into an attack. The truth is there for all to see where the hate comes
from. You came in here determined to mock and cause offence, then when challenged
you resort to name calling and invectives against a whole class of God's people.

Don't you realise the admins are watching what goes on and will soon reach a verdict
of who is to blame.

This is a venue to study together and worship Christ
that cannot be done when a spirit of adversity reigns.

You three are here to demean, mock and foul up any kind of sensible discussion.

It is my thread, I wish I could ask you to leave.

@ieuan ....fyi if you put the @ sign in front of the persons name you will see a drop down menu and you can select the person, they then will be notified, it becomes a hyperlink.

you are more than a little arrogant

you might consider running AND paying for your own .com

you cannot use this one exclusively

dude I have been here for years now and have even exchanged pms with certain mods and even the owner regarding some things

I don't know who you think you are, but you are just like everyone else and we are on EQUAL footing here

we are not teachers and we are certainly not about telling other members what or how to post or say or which thread they can post in

it is NOT your thread. you started it, but do you pay the bill every month for the space it takes up on the web?

we DISAGREE with what you post and that is why this is not called the teaching forum, but rather the DISCUSSION forum

if you cannot discuss with others, maybe it is YOU that is in the wrong place

stop whining and maybe just post things and expect people to agree or disagree. that is how it works here and frankly in every other forum as well

neither myself nor others are here to mock and if you do not like how the site is run you are free to complain to someone

this might be your problem

this is called THE BIBLE DISCUSSION FORUM

NOT the study forum

you can start a study thread and invite others to join and you will not have anyone disagreeing...you can discuss your beliefs until even you have enough of it

this is not YOUR private teaching platform

you have the wrong idea and that is why you are experiencing difficulties

from the guide:

In light of some recent reported posts and in order to save Admin time dealing with reported posts it seems that some guidelines may be helpful. (these are not directed at any specific user)

**If you are claiming that a user is being rude or making personal attacks, make sure you aren't part of the problem. Routinely I reject reports for this type of behavior because the person reporting the post is part of the problem in which case (in order to be fair) I can either do nothing or infraction all users involved.

**Remember that just because you personally don't agree a doctrine doesn't make it heresy. Rejecting historic essentials of the faith is heresy, a lot of what gets reported as heresy is just bad doctrine.

in other words, you might not like what someone says about what you posted, but you have no business calling them a heretic or telling them they don't read the Bible or are not saved or other personal attacks and reading your posts it looks like you have done ALL those things

I hope this helps

none of the things you list are problematical

however, when you examine the TULIP equation, unless you actually are a Calvinist, you are not going to agree

I am neither Arminium or Calvinist

I simply believe in Christ and what the Bible teaches...not the interpretations that twist what it states

one thing in particular most non-Calvinists will raise an uproar about is the less than delightful Calvin taught regarding pre-election to mean God creates people to go to hell...SPECIFICALLY to go to hell

one Calvinist in another thread called those unfortunates 'human trash'

there is a reason these types of threads get the responses that they do...name calling and twisting what others actually say and telling them they don't read the Bible or they are not saved or what have you. none of that has anything to do with anything, other than trying to create a personal dialogue that has nothing to do with the actual op

it seems ad hominim attacks are part of the Calvinist playbook

complaints seem to have at least stopped the name calling and mocking on the part of the Calvinists so they have toned it down
