And your free will likes to ignore dictionary definitions. Creeds are usually a set of doctrines in one statement like the Apostles Creed.

The video you posted said nothing about Calvin doctrine or creed. It was an introduction to a Christian University that happens to be named after John Calvin.

Here it is again.

And the question was not whether TULIP was central to Reformed doctrine. I asked if you could explain TULIP, even if you just do the "L" as you replied it was nonsense that those who believe in TULIP believe God only saves/loves/favours the Elect.
is this your only choice you can give me then. ?

That my choice is nonsense

This looks like a Willy nilly choice that leads to nothing.

I think I'll pass seeing as I know the refined wonderful reformed church I attend is not dogmatic 🙂

Which one do you attend? Maybe I can see their statement of faith and see what it is you have found.

No, your alternative choice was to refrain from nonsense and give a proper defense but you chose nonsense.


Be it unto you according to your faith.

grace and peace.

you will see him coming in the clouds remember @Genez.

In the Rapture, we will not see Him coming in the clouds.
For we will instantly find ourselves up in the clouds.
The world will not know what happened.

Those will see Him in the clouds?
It will be those on earth at the very end of the Great Tribulation, when He returns with His Church and angels.
At that time, He will slaughter millions of enemies that were attempting to destroy Israel and Jerusalem.

When the slaughter happens, there will be a river of blood as high as a horse's bridle for about 180 miles, or about 300 kilometers.

They were trampled in the winepress outside the city, and blood flowed out of the press, rising as high as the horses’ bridles for a distance of 1,600 stadia. Revelation 14:20​

Yes.... "Peaceful" Jesus is also the Lord of the armies.

Yep well I believe there's lots of different. Views on the rapture,.and I wouldn't lean on one more than others, but if I was to support one over the other idea over the other it wouldn't be this one

What exactly do you disagree with in this one?

Jordon? There will always be differing views.

God is sorting out those who walk in the Spirit from those who walk in their own sense of human decency.
Human good vs Divine good.
We will all be evaluated by the Lord when the time comes.

My Pastor was a real retired Colonel. And had been a prizefighter in the ring.
He retired from the military to study for the ministry.

No woman should be teaching the Word of God with authority over men. That is in the Bible.

And... I thought this was going well for a change.

Oh well...

OK... you do not have a real pastor.

That is crazy.
No longer can I consider your opinion as Biblically valid.
You have been not trained to think with the Spirit, but your emotions.
It also explains why Muslims keep getting bolder and aggressive in England, as they have been as of late.
They are coming in for the kill because there is no salt being produced in your churches.

Church is not a social game as you are playing it to be.
Now I know why I have been having a problem of making sense of your attitude.

There is honesty, sir.
From a Biblical perspective...

A woman should learn in quietness and full submission. I do not permit a woman to teach
or to assume authority over a man ; she must be quiet. For Adam was formed first, then Eve.
And Adam was not the one deceived; it was the woman who was deceived and became a
sinner. 1 timothy 2:11-14​

Note: This is the strong negative 'ouk' which means 'absolutely not' compared with the qualified negation 'me' as seen in verse 9 above. 'A Woman' emphasizes the high quality of the woman following this command.}

{Note: 'Didasko' means to teach with authority to a public assembly. In this context, it means a woman is not to teach doctrine from the pulpit in church.}


Note: Rejecting this command is a strong historical trend that always leads to decline and forming of organizations filled with apostasy.

That explains it all.

Good Day.... Jordon.

It is Trans-spiritual! It identifies with being a church, but is not a church according to the Bible.

And, like all trans thinkers. It demands that the Biblical conform to your self-opinion...

This is weird. But I am glad it happened.
It explains everything wrong that has been going on.

Jordon... forget about it. I can no longer consider your opinions.

The Lord will have his way with apostates.
