Understanding God’s election

[Inquisitor]

No, it is just to help you with another misconception. That there will be few in heaven is contrary to the teaching of scripture.

I am primarily discussing Calvinism and what it teaches.

When has theology had anything to do with the scripture?

There is no misconception here.

Yes Abraham won the negotiation, then God removed Lot and his family from that city and destroyed it.

Abraham didn't win. There weren't 10 righteous. The city wasn't spared; the righteous were.

 

[Cameron143]

Its called a rhetorical question. Or a tag question. If you can't interpret that why would I listen to any of your other interpretations? ( another rhetorical question)

Because of my sunny disposition and witty banter.

 

[Inquisitor]

If you believe few are chosen means they alone get saved then you are a Calvinist.

That may not be the case.

There are different species of Calvinists.

Ok, big brain man, how many were in Lot's family?

You are of the frozen chosen?

Only Lot and 2 daughters were spared. I count 3.

 

[Inquisitor]

I am not Cameron.

Boil Calvinism down and it's an interpretation of the scripture.

Even more so, Calvinism is an idea that applies the necessary interpretation to the scripture.

What is your problem with God's eternal sovereign decree?

 

[Inquisitor]

Hope God forgives you Cameron.

I love God's eternal decrees and I'm very thankful that He is sovereign.

 

[Cameron143]

God always forgives me. People often don't.

 

[Inquisitor]

Only Lot and 2 daughters were spared. I count 3.

Nevertheless God did, in fact, save some from that city.

God could have destroyed Sodom with Lot and His daughters in it, but He did not.

The righteous escaped.

The righteous generally escape. They aren't under condemnation.

Happy for you.

God allows negotiations and even prayer.

Regardless of Tulip.

 

[Inquisitor]

The righteous generally escape. They aren't under condemnation.

Nor is anyone else who calls on the name of Jesus.

Never said He didn't.

 

[Inquisitor]

No, you are discussing what you think it means.

Your only hearing what you want to hear.

 

[Inquisitor]

Never said He didn't.

Which implies that we have input into God's decisions.

 

[Cameron143]

Nor is anyone else who calls on the name of Jesus.

Wouldn't that make them righteous?
