Three Questions for Calvinists

@Iconoclast:

I am not trying to attack you.

I have nothing against you personally.

I am just using your post to illustrate a point to everyone:

"Do not expect to teach me Meat if you demonstrate clearly that you do not understand Milk 101."

Another 3 good question for Calvinists..

Calvin had a big hand to play regarding Michael Servetus being burned alive.
The issue seems to have been that Michael Servetus didnt quite agree with the idea of the "Trinity".
So, it was decided that based on this "heresy of unbelief", he should be tied to a stake, and set on fire, and burned.

Now Here are the 3 questions.

When Michael Servetus was tied to the stake.

1.) Did Calvin light the fire?

2) .Did Calvin watch him burn and laugh?

3.) Did Calvin take the day off, and casually heard about the roasting later as he was having dinner. ?

Interesting.
What’s your thoughts on Martin Luther?

And John Wesley?

I put him on ignore. He's a hyper Calvinist who will distort what you say, twist scripture, call you names and then say that you are the one who did this.

You know normally I would not make a post like this, but it seems the Calvinists are using this forum to shove their beliefs at everyone and destroying threads and getting away with it.

We also have people who are saying some of the books of the NT are not scripture.

Seems the Bible is under attack like never before. Calvinism is poison.

2 thess.2:13
We are bound to give thanks away to God for you brethren beloved of the Lord, because God hath from the beginning Chosen you to salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth.
Here it is clearly taught that we are indeed chosen, elected by God to salvation which for some reason you suggest does not take place?

As time permits I will work back and consider what you have offered on this.
I will offer some help if I can.
I have been working on a board trying to make it interactive, question and answer kind of format designed to offer scripturally edifying and positive post, link, concessions, sermons both audio and written.
Then I intend to make a thread dealing with objections.it is an uncensored board, although nursing and blasphemy ate not welcome, your ideas are.

Luke 14
15And when one of them that sat at meat with him heard these things, he said unto him, Blessed is he that shall eat bread in the kingdom of God.16Then said he unto him, A certain man made a great supper, and bade many: 17And sent his servant at supper time to say to them that were bidden, Come; for all things are now ready. 18And they all with one consent began to make excuse. The first said unto him, I have bought a piece of ground, and I must needs go and see it: I pray thee have me excused. 19And another said, I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I go to prove them: I pray thee have me excused. 20And another said, I have married a wife, and therefore I cannot come.
21So that servant came, and shewed his lord these things. Then the master of the house being angry said to his servant, Go out quickly into the streets and lanes of the city, and bring in hither the poor, and the maimed, and the halt, and the blind. 22And the servant said, Lord, it is done as thou hast commanded, and yet there is room. 23And the lord said unto the servant, Go out into the highways and hedges, and compel them to come in, that my house may be filled. 24For I say unto you, That none of those men which were bidden shall taste of my supper.
Did the man actually invite those who gave the excuses?
Did those who made the excuses know that they were being invited?
So, if the man originally wanted them to come, why did they end up with no supper?

Verse 33 sums it up "he that has ears to hear", let him hear.

I am a Christian who is known as a Calvinist because I believe the the teaching of scripture.
This portion of Luke is about Israel refusing Jesus except for an elect remnant.So those who are compelled to come on are the gentiles.Mt21:43.
I read 3 pages, no one answered the question.
No one knows or has defined what a Calvinist is.
Many accusations but no substance.
Bibleinteraction@freeforums.net. deals with with this in detail.

Whosoever will listen may come and receive salvation. Everyone has the opportunity. So simple, yet Calvinist stumble on this.

The un-regenerant person as described in 1 Cor 2:14 would not listen to spiritual things that he thinks is foolishness. Only those who have been born again with the indwelling of the Holy Spirit (Eph 2:1-5) will listen to spiritual things.

Not merely "chosen:. It says "Chosen" THROUGH "sanctification of the Spirit" and "belief of the truth".

Whosoever will listen may come and receive salvation. Everyone has the opportunity. So simple, yet Calvinist stumble on this.

But he himself, as Jesus, told us we can't come to him, be saved, unless God leads us to himself as Jesus.

The truth of the matter is that the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit all urge sinners to come to the Savior through the Gospel (which is the power of God unto salvation -- Rom 1:16). Indeed Christ said that He would draw ALL men to Himself after He was lifted up (either on the cross or exalted through His resurrection and ascension). So in fact no one is excluded unless they exclude themselves.

The only difference between a staunch Calvinist and a "hyper" Calvinist is that one needs a good dose of Ritalin.
