You just reminded me of when homosexuals opted to call themselves 'queer' to try to take the sting out of the word.

Again. You chose to use a derogatory term for Calvinists and asked me to approve of them.

You don't even know what you are doing.
You are just seeking the approval of men.
Religious men.

You are not interested in serious Bible study and truth.
This is a social gathering for you.
You want to socialize, much like natural men enjoy having.
you you youuuuuuuu sir too

What word is in you from the beginning

Calvinists: You’re a Pelagian heretic.

Me: I’m a Pelagian heretic. Cool.

Careful....
Find out what it is first,

Pelagianism is a theological position that denies original sin and asserts that humans have the free will to achieve perfection without divine grace. It was condemned as heresy by the early Christian church, particularly by St. Augustine, who argued that humans cannot attain righteousness on their own.

Just because some do not know what they accuse others of, does not mean you should join them and reinforce them in their ignorance.

Understood. Thanks for the info.
 
you you youuuuuuuu sir too

Because you were such a hissy fitter and mocker, like they do when they do not like something.

You mock without understanding.

Do not reprove a mocker, or he will hate you;
reprove a wise man, and he will love you."

Proverbs 9:8​
 
The problem is we both love each other, but not each other’s beliefs. It’s ok, I still love you.
lol is this a confession,

but the thing is if your thinking I'm a Calvie is that not the same thing as actually loving one.

If I share the same belief as the Calvin students, that The life in me also has the word from the beginning is this not true of Calvin students to who believe that to ?

Is it not true of you too

I am not entirely sure if I’m understanding your comment. Have a wonderful night.
 
So then why did Stephen say that the Jews always resisted the Holy Spirit?
The Holy Spirit is a person of the Trinity.
In short, the Holy Spirit is God.
So this means God can be resisted.
Well, that is if you believe the verse

Anyway, here is the verse again that you are ignoring:

Acts 7:51

“Ye stiffnecked and uncircumcised in heart and ears, ye do always resist the Holy Ghost. As your fathers did, so do ye.”​

Please take more time to read it slowly and believe it.
.
The answer is right under your nose:

uncircumcised in heart and ears

Can you see it now? Meh, I cannot make it any bigger! .:oops:

Were you not uncircumcised in heart and ears before you were saved?

They were determined to remain unsaved.
 
I am not ready to bless you.

When you stop sounding like a manipulator, maybe I will.

I know we will like each other in heaven.
That much I know.
Consequences have to be met sir.

Maybe where to buffalos locking horns and I'm locking them for you my friend 🤩

What word is in you from the beginning sir, this is all in asking now.


And may I say nobody as in nobody without a body can do it alone sir

When are we to take being liked as more important? And willing to compromise the truth to do so?

No good.

Hypocrisy has hid itself under the carpet?
All of a sudden?

The Calvinists are now forgetting all their mocking by calling others free-willers and audacious to think we could even choose for God. (even while God was administering his power of grace, needed to place us in such a position).

You are trying to take it to such a superficial level.
