And Satan does like to play shell games as to the matter of which folks are saved and which folks are lost. When someone with discernment uses the Scriptures themselves to clarify matters,
Satan will ordinarily accuse that Christian of being a Pharisee. And he will use the real Pharisees in the case to make the accusation.Corin, pardon my ping - but this was too prescious not to send your way -apologies if Ive intruded.
As for doc's comments, maybe ArGee should consider doc is noted for claiming arminians (typically methodists) believe the "lie of eden" and are "satanically screwed" or "satanists"- Oh the irony is sweet
Should we tell arg about how you threatened Dr. Kopp? - or are those your "good works"? -
Thanks for the offer, but the_doc has spoken for himself and it's pretty clear what his motivations are.
It is hard for Christians to distinguish between what Christ is calling us to in our personal relationship (special callings) and what Christ is calling all people to in their recognition of Him as LORD (general callings).
If we could get that straight, it would be a whole lot easier for Christians to get along.
A good place to start would be to read the Apostle Paul's greatings to the Galatians and to the Corinthians.
Shalom.
