I suppose if one were a Clinton protege or a Pharisee one might try to more closely define "one to another" or in other words ask the question, "but who is my neighbor?"
My little brother returned like a dog to his vomit. He is irresistably drawn to hell, with all those other 'nice' people.
Look at it this way, it could be a debate about Harry Potter!

Depends upon the baptist group. A genuinely saved person is no longer a dog, he/she's a lamb.
Why am I NOT surprised!
BTW- The 'dog to his vomit'(Proverbs 26:11, 2 Peter 2:22) was for your entertainment. We welcomed him as the prodigal son.
Lambs!? I seriously wonder why you thought you needed to tell me that?
try reading without the log
And, if Mom has apologized and I have apologized on behalf of Calvinist, then please tell me why you have refused to apolozied for:
saying Calvinist are "humped up on your leg like a frothing dog"
again, not an accurate quote - look youve misquoted it, twisted it and changed it to suit your needs for the last time - what I actually said was Hey - he knows where Im coming from - Free Grace baby - Wesley made it quite clear - why I need to rehash it with a hammer wielding "christian" eludes me - but if you want to go there - we CAN play that pissing game all day if you want... in the end solving NOTHING - as he - (and apparently you) have no desire to discourse calmly and in a demeanor befitting the subject matter. As for misrepresenting thier comments - Its plainly apparent to all (with open minds) exactly what is happening here. - I came into that topic with an open mind, got dusted up a bit and ended by offering prayer - just as I did throughout the discourse.
Ive yet to see any real Christ like attitudes in trying to sway me as a "lost" brother - Instead the leg of Calvinism is humped like a frothing pinscher. C'mon - sway me with brotherly love - point being you can't - and for that I'll pray.
- youve frothed, youve bitten, you plainly have difficulty reading the difference between "denom" and "demon" - therefore you run with the pack and have shared the same fleas - I find it amusing you get pious a month later and only when brother doc takes a lashing for spewage to DBK. No, that one stands on its own legs as it is my own opinion to which I am completely entitled. If you recall, you stated I am mentally unbalanced or unstable, which (while possibly accurate given the thorazine treatments), is entirely your opinion-
God allows me to hate evil - what you people practice in the name of Christianity is evil. Hence, I hate the construct as you hate "satanic" arminianism
What I have done, is precisely the same doc has done repeatedly by calling arminianism "satanic". He spoke to the group, as do I - there is no individual personal attack in those comments.
regarding your other complaint.
and Calvinists are "animals"
What kind of person drags an innocent person (someones wife) into a fracas? surely not a rational one, or one that purports to debate on the "playing field of truth". OP got suspended twice, doc is close, youve had posts pulled, as has Ma, I proved Jean was lying about the dog quote, yet I have to apologize? - the rationale escapes me. I will however rephrase it. HYPER Calvinists are animals, (my apologies to rational Calvinists, rhesus monkeys, small crawly things and Lorraine B.) I assume you are a "regular" calvinist. Now again, note the construct of the comment. Just as OP calls my faith "spiritual crack cocaine" in a non specific manner, my animal comment was put forth in the same manner.
Rather we need to look at how calvinists degenerate into personal attacks regarding mental accuity and attacks upon others spouses, with whom they hold a doctrinal beef.
I ping the admin moderator, so that he or she can assess my comments and address them as seen fit.
Amen
Through thy precepts I get understanding, therefore I hate every false way (Ps.119:104)
Psalm 97:10 Let those who love the Lord hate evil, for he guards the lives of his faithful ones and delivers them from the hand of the wicked.
Amen! Like I told corin stormhands, it seems that all I am doing today is 'Amening':>)
I am a grown up and I hate censorship..no way I would seek advance approval..
We see false conversionas all the time..that is the problem with the Arminian churches.
and the answer is no
for woody, yes - and while I am not privy to the calvin clique abbreviations, I think the context of the abbreviation all but defined the word for him. Can we just drop the whole thing?
is this the way your "demon" spells "conversions"? - ;{) LOL
My brother was drinking quite heavy, did use some illegal drugs, and these things were influencing his life and job. So on the advise of a co-worker some good Baptists took him in and he cleaned up his personal and professional life.
He really did start reading the Bible. He quit attending the LDS church around age 16, so he had only done some reading before that. He had never studied the Bible or read any of our scriptures on his own.
So now my brother seemed by all observations to be thriving in the Word of God quite well.
So again, the question how can you tell who the fakers are?
