I have no idea what you are speaking about. I believe you have me confused with someone else.

He knew you were not implying such a thing. He knew actually what he was doing.

Come on now. You know actually what I am talking about when I say "few". Matthew 7:13-14 New King James Version 13 “Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it. 14 [a]Because narrow is the gate and...

Nothing what I wrote is different then what you have been proclaiming.

And those "who diligently seek" just so happen to be those predestined chosen few? Am I right?

You mean came of destroy "some" of the works of the devil. In other words, Satan blinds and "sometimes" Jesus reveals God...to only the chosen few, of course.

He was in no way implying such a thing. I suspect you know this too.

Here are the verses: Matthew 23:37 New International Version 37 “Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you who kill the prophets and stone those sent to you, how often I have longed to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, and you were not willing. 2 Corinthians 4:4 New...

Too late to take the shoes off. We have seen how well they fit.

Ask them. It was their free choice.

To all these Calvinists who are pushing this "choice vs. free will" nonsense remember this verse: Matthew 23:37 New International Version 37 “Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you who kill the prophets and stone those sent to you, how often I have longed to gather your children together, as a hen gathers...

If it is not "my" error then I am not among the "many" who make them.

Even slaves have free will. Daniel, Joseph, Onesimus etc. Why do you insist so hard that you are not in control of your decisions?

Matthew 23:37 New International Version 37 “Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you who kill the prophets and stone those sent to you, how often I have longed to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, and you were not willing. Revelation 22:17 New International Version...

I want every person here to let this comment sink in! Do not be too harsh, she had no free will to not write that comment.

I believe the question was asked quite clearly. Your answer: "I know some who believe much of the reformed faith, but who still have doubts concerning the salvation." does not address the question. "believe much of the reformed faith" does not equal "convinced of the validity of the tenets of...

Does anyone know of people who are convinced of the validity of the tenets of Calvinism and are also assured that they are not part of those chosen few? If we can be assured of our salvation because of predestination, can the opposite be true of our damnation?

Spin it anyway you want but the servant's forgiveness was revoked. 32 “Then the master called the servant in. ‘You wicked servant,’ he said, ‘I canceled all that debt of yours because you begged me to. 33 Shouldn’t you have had mercy on your fellow servant just as I had on you?’ 34 In anger his...

Unless someone is claiming esoteric knowledge, of course this is his opinion...all of this is opinion. Yes, God will have mercy upon who He will have mercy upon. That's it. No need to read into it. Why make it more confusing by insisting that His will is predestined? Why insist that we...

Serious questions. Does anyone know of a theologian or even lay person who accepts the tenets of Calvinism as correct but does not believe he is among the chosen few? How does a proclaimed Calvinist know that he is among the chosen few? Is it possible to believe the tenets of Calvinism but...
