Easy to say but prove it from Scripture.
You do not do honor to God by debasing man. Man is made in the image of God, so to debase man is to debase the image of God, and thereby not pay proper honor to God.honoring God and debasing man.
I knew there was a reason to login a while ago ............. this is hilarious!!
Best laugh all week!!
Is there no end to the eisegesis employed by people who adhere to the tenets of TULIP!!
Have your way.Ooooooooooo spooky......
Now we have the followers of Calvin using......wait foooo it....
Supernatural faith......
Next it will be Superdupernatural Faith.....
Jesus must have failed to see the memo by Calvin and his followers.....
If a man have (Supernatural) faith the size of a mustard seed......
You know....as special as Calvinists are, I am surprised they are not raising the dead, curing the blind, healing the sick and walking on water....seeing how they have SUPERNATURAL FAITH.

The image was marred, sure. But your doctrine goes beyond that and gives man the power to destroy the work of God.You know as well as I do, he lost a portion of that image in the Fall.
IT IS TRAGIC!
I have been tirelessly .. go read any thread on Calvinism.
With little effort I might add....while managing to live my life!!
You cannot see it, this dogma blinds peoples minds.... it really is something to see!!
See what I mean? Intentionally meant to be insulting. With no meaningful or edifying content.Is there no end to the eisegesis employed by people who adhere to the tenets of TULIP!!
Why don't you reveal to us your own understanding of systematic theology and your doctrine?I have been tirelessly .. go read any thread on Calvinism.

In 50 words or less. No harm in that is there?

I completely agree with you. On all points. Thank you.Christ was never TEMPTED.
The greek word: εκπειρασεις can mean "to test, to try and to tempt" The translators should have never used the English word "tempt or tempted" when it comes down to God or Jesus Christ. There is nothing "temptable" in God or Jesus Christ's nature.
Mat 4:7 Jesus said unto him, It is written again, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God. Horrible translation, should have been, "Thou shalt not test the Lord thy God".
Mat 22:18 But Jesus perceived their wickedness, and said, Why tempt ye me, ye hypocrites? Again, should have been, "....Why test ye me, ye hypocrites?"
Act 5:9 Then Peter said unto her, How is it that ye have agreed together to tempt the Spirit of the Lord? behold, the feet of them which have buried thy husband are at the door, and shall carry thee out. Again, should have been "to try". You can't tempt the Spirit.
Heb 2:18 For in that he himself hath suffered being tempted, he is able to succour them that are tempted. Again, Christ was not tempted, he was tested, so He can help those that are undergoing trials.
This is just a few examples. It is okay, to use tempted in areas about Satan or man But never God. God cannot be tempted nor does he tempt any man. If Christ had a Peccable nature, one that could be tempted, then He would have been disqualified as the "Lamb of God" and His sacrifice would not have been accepted by the Father. Because that "Lamb" would indeed have a spot and blemish.
Once again, this shows that some should still be listening and learning and not trying to teach.
I would cheerfully accept an analog. How about a doctrinal statement? That's easy.systematic theologies are nothing but hubrus.

I reject your restrictions, if you can speak in theological terms so can I. The doctrine of election relies on total inability/ total depravity. That doctrine forwards the idea that in the fall man destroyed the image of God completely removing any ability to connect with God even as a response. In that you forward that man has the ability to destroy what God has wrought.Please show from the Bible, how this Doctrine, destroys the work of God. The Doctrine of Election defends the works of God.
