So many problems with TULIP, so much inconsistency when viewed in the light of scripture, the full picture, not just the supposed proof texts.
It is their problem.
We should come to a point where we stop making them our problem.
It is like trying to warn certain Catholics not to pray to Mary.
Confounding as they may be after showing them Scripture concerning prayer and Mary?
They persist.
They shut off the world, and live in their own little world to shelter themselves.
Why?
They are resisting the Holy Spirit willfully.
There is a way that seems right to a man,
But its end is the way of death." Proverbs 14:12
They want to believe their error more than anything else.
It makes them feel secure with themselves.
And, they will get insulted when Truth is brought forth to shine light on where they have hidden themselves.
But, it is God's job to bring them to where He would want them to be. Not ours.
We can only be a messenger.
I have prayed that I am are not deceived, like they are, but in my own way.
I have asked myself...
Maybe? I am just as blind as they are, but in my own way.
That thought at times has caused the fear of the Lord in me.
How can one be so deceived?
To think that others, who are not, are the ones deceived?
Working out my salvation in fear and trembling keeps having review tests.
