Thanks for replying. An important question is "Can ANY specific individual be saved?" While this might be met with an immediate "Yes", some consideration is I think in order. What about the unforgivable sin? Many interpret this in different ways. Some say there is a sin from which there...

I have NO LOVE for Steven Anderson., but as for separating oneself from his teachings, wouldn't you say a view should be judged on its merits, rather than from whom it came?

I've sometimes wondered that. Have you encountered the tantrums of Steven Anderson? He can talk level-headedly about various sins, but when he talks about homosexuality, he goes ballistic.

Re. 1Cor6, there are differing opinions as to whether the part about homosexuality refers to the Corinthian congregation. I've answered this specifically, but somehow my text has been misplaced. You may be able to find it.

Thanks for responding. Having said that, have you come across the beliefs of Steven Anderson and the like in their interpretation of Romans1, where they quote "God gave them over to vile affections", and saying they have lost their hope?

Thanks, everyone for your input. There's a fair bit of response and I'll try to respond to everyone as I can. Also, I'd like to mention that some of my posts have gone to the wrong place and the wrong person. Sorry about this.

Thanks for replying. Thanks for replying. You mention 1Cor6. This is a "hotbed of contention". Pastor Steven Anderson stated a view of which I'd previously wondered. He said this had to be taken in context. Ie - Paul was warning of the Christian church tending to revert to the...

I think I get the point of your response - that there's a potential danger in exposing our minds to unorthodox ideas, as it may influence us. However, I think there's also a potential danger in "closing the door on" ideas that we are disinclined to accept, as there may be some truth in them...

I don't know if I've missed something relevant, but have you come across and considered the beliefs of James White and the like? - particularly of "compatiblist freedom" which stated that whereas God ordained everything, down to every desire, thought, word and deed of man, man is totally free...

PS - I don't know where the "thumbs up" sign came from - it wasn't my intention.

Thanks for replying. Sorry if I prompted you to repeat an answer. First, I'd like to clarify - When I refer to Calvinism, I mean modern-day Calvinists like James White, rather than Calvin himself. I don't know what HE said, but I've come to believe modern Calvinists have "gone further" than...

As I previously posted, there are so many posts by so many people that it's easy to get things mixed up. In light of this, I don't know if you've already made your position clear, but may I ask - Do you believe in the Calvinists' position of "compatibilist freedom" - the idea that God ordained...

Minor point: - I've just noticed my thread's error - obviously I meant "homOsexuals".

I've come across differing views on this and would like to see others' biblical evidence one way or another, if any would like to comment.

"God does not predestine his elect's every action." Whatever you think and whatever the rights and wrongs of the issue, the debate is alive and kicking. I don't know if you're familiar with James White. There are so many different people saying so many different things that it's easy...

My opinion is as you stated. Interestingly, apparently the word "sovereign" does not appear at all in the KJV. This was pointed out by Steven Anderson in an anti-Calvinists sermon. Although I'm far from a fan of his, I think this is important point. Calvinists tend to use this word to...

First, to clarify - When I say "Calvinism", I mean the likes of modern-day Calvinism, such as James White and the like, not Calvin himself. I'm not sure what HIS position was, but I think modern proponents of Calvinism have "gone further" than what he originally proposed. After listening...

Hi - I've clicked on your link. I intend examining it more closely later when I hopefully will be able to concentrate on it better. I don't believe Calvinism is the truth, but I've seen and heard a fair bit of footage by James White and the like. Whereas JW seems intelligent and orthodox...

One thing I want to point our is that what I mean by "Calvinism" is not necessarily exactly what Calvin meant, but what the likes of James White say.
