[The Theophilus]

Calvin says you're incapable of making the right choice (even though God says you can in scripture!).

Really? Given:

• We are wicked, speaking lies even from the womb (Ps 58:3)
• Hating God (Romans 8:7)
• hating Jesus Christ without cause (John 15:18,25)
• hating righteousness while loving sin (John 3:19-20)
• will not and cannot not seek God (Romans 3:11)
• can't understand the Scriptures (1 Cor 2:14)
• considers the Gospel as foolishness (1 Cor 1:18)
• can't please God (Romans 8:8)
• blinded by God so as not to see the Gospel (Eph 4:18)
• blinded by Satan to not understand (2 Cor 4:4)
• prefer to be crushed by rocks than bow to God (Rev 6:15-16)

Now show us where "(even though God says you can in scripture!)"

Just go screw with the head of some impressionable punk, I'll just put you where you belong if you pester me any more, pus-slinger.

Woah! Why does 1 John 3 come to mind right here/ (particularly v15). I guess this the signature of the American Religion - hate towards the people of God.

Note to Moderator: Everyone has a bad day from time to time, though this is personal and hateful, I'm not offended by it.

All of your quotes refer to unbelievers, not to The Body of believers who have eternal life through a combination of God's grace, Jesus' blood, and their own faith. When the believer reads scripture with a sincere heart, God's Holy Spirit makes His meaning known. You do not fool me, and more to the point, you do not fool God.

Why were Lot and his family spared? Noah? Why was David "beloved of God?" Moses? These men, though fallible and sinful, had a "heart for God."

Your deceptions are intentional, feeble and sinful. Even Jesus called evil by its true name, and even Satan knows how to quote scripture; often to support his lies.

Whining to the Admin Mods won't cut you any slack when you stand before the Throne and account for what you've done with His Word. I attack not you, but the evil you do in His precious Name. May He forgive you.
