I appreciate what you say, bibletruth, and I’m as hard core a Calvinist as you will find. But... is this kind of hitting people over the head with the doctrines of grace?
“And as many as had been appointed to eternal life believed.” Acts 13:48
“...just as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before Him in love, having predestined us to adoption as sons by Jesus Christ to Himself according to the good pleasure of His will.” Eph. 3:4,5
“And I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; neither shall anyone snatch them out of My hand. My Father, who has given them to Me, is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch them out of My Father’s hand.”
John 10:28,29
Well said... I ping
Calvinist
Wow, it’s a good thing that Calvin came along about 1,500 years AFTER Christ had instituted the Catholic Church. That way, all of us can be saved.......wait a second, Joseph Smith came along 200 or so years later and he said that he, and no one else had the answers.....How can we make up our minds, do we choose Jesus, Luther, Calvin, Zwingley, Henry VIII, or joseph Smith?????I’m so confused
