Perpetuated by those who choose to remain biblical illiterates. Tepid rebuttals consisting of hormonal opinions, infantile banter, and a sum total of 5 or 6 mis-apprehended misunderstood passages recited ad infinitum ad nauseum.

I was going to say:
"Perpetuated by useful idiots who choose to remain biblical illiterates."
But thought better of it and did the right thing and deleted the derogatory term "useful idiots".
Thank goodness I had my wits about me.

Not a single solitary Calvinist dared to rebut rebuke or reply to your post @Blue155 .
For reasons that should by now be patently obvious.

More of your dishonesty. You constantly diverted from Scripture to speak of other things to condemn me and you know it but refuse to admit it. You never mention this fact, just act like it was me making personal remarks to you when you went off on me over several involved posts that you later characterized as brief when they were not. You went into great detail and it was all to condemn me. You are a nasty abusive dishonest man. That is your character and I hope you do something about it because you are not the nice guy you pretend to be and want others to believe you are. Also I repeatedly asked you questions about Biblical matters and you repeatedly ignored them to be abusive toward me while insisting I not speak of anything other than Scripture.
I don't understand what you are getting at. The poster who does them is a woman so I don't see what the problem is if she is identifying women with the word of God. It's not like women are prohibited from learning or identifying with the word.
What exactly do you think she is suggesting by placing a woman in the picture?
I wonder if Blue thinks their behaviour was Christ like here. Different name, same poser.
I wonder if Calvinists have been eternally decreed to pass gas at the exact moment they do?
Maybe not, but I sure will be! *grunts and farts*
Grace was the means to overcome in hard times. I would have thought you would have suggested it was God's sovereignty that left the thorn there then grace to overcome. Isn't it God's sovereignty that leaves unelected men in their hopelessness?
The will of the flesh lives in men And it's not a king.
There is the enabling strength of the lord in the heart of a person that is going to be filled with the spirit.
And if theres not then there put in the wilderness of the desert, where there flesh and there eyeballs get plucked out by the crows. When there maggot flesh dries out.
@cv5 this is what happens to the free will of the flesh
Revelation 19
17 And I saw an angel standing in the sun, who cried in a loud voice to all the birds flying in midair, “Come, gather together for the great supper of God, 18 so that you may eat the flesh of kings, generals, and the mighty, of horses and their riders, and the flesh of all people, free and slave, great and small.”
19 Then I saw the beast and the kings of the earth and their armies gathered together to wage war against the rider on the horse and his army. 20 But the beast was captured, and with it the false prophet who had performed the signs on its behalf. With these signs he had deluded those who had received the mark of the beast and worshiped its image. The two of them were thrown alive into the fiery lake of burning sulfur. 21 The rest were killed with the sword coming out of the mouth of the rider on the horse, and all the birds gorged themselves on their flesh.
Deuteronomy 28
49 The Lord will bring a nation against you from far away, from the ends of the earth, like an eagle swooping down, a nation whose language you will not understand, 50 a fierce-looking nation without respect for the old or pity for the young. 51 They will devour the young of your livestock and the crops of your land until you are destroyed. They will leave you no grain, new wine or olive oil, nor any calves of your herds or lambs of your flocks until you are ruined. 52 They will lay siege to all the cities throughout your land until the high fortified walls in which you trust fall down. They will besiege all the cities throughout the land the Lord your God is giving you.
Jeremiah 16:4
New International Version
4 “They will die of deadly diseases. They will not be mourned or buried but will be like dung lying on the ground. They will perish by sword and famine, and their dead bodies will become food for the birds and the wild animals.”
Revelation 19

This is simply not true of you. The person without the Spirit of God has no Spiritual understanding of the Spiritual things of God. They are opposed to them. This is explicitly articulated in Scripture but you oppose it and make up your version of temporary enablement. You also claim salvation is open to all but then contradict yourself and say some have no chance since their names were not written in the Book of Life from before the foundation of the world. You say it is because God knew they would not believe but Scripture says He saves us not based on anything we have done. You also promote the idea that the gospel is not a spiritual matter counted among the deep things of God. Free willers love to distort Scripture truth like you do. They have to in order to uphold their un-Biblical beliefs and they resist correction just like you do. These truths include God's plan for redemption, righteousness, forgiveness, and the believer's union with Christ. They are considered "deep things" because they were hidden from the world's wisdom and were only revealed to believers through the Spirit of God, not by human effort or worldly knowledge. These things (redemption, righteousness, forgiveness, etc) are all part of the gospel message.
this is what happens to kings men of the flesh

I see. I guess I was not viewing it from that perspective. I'm a gamer girl and find it difficult to play games where the protagonist is a male as I don't identify as being a man. I figured @Magenta was using a picture of a woman because she is a woman and is identifying herself with the word.
