JD is correct on this one, Judy. Do you, Judy,
believe that in HAVING THE MIND OF CHRIST you are thereby INFALLIBLE IN BOTH
YOUR SELECTION, UNDERSTANDING AND INTERPRETATION OF SCRIPTURE. I believe it is
possible for you to answer yes/no on this.

Amen Judy ????? Get a life.
You are one insulting somebody JD.
Judy writes as if she knows the reading habits of the Bereans or the
Apostle John. Since John is so
obviously writing to those who are not of Jewish traditional
thought, I would say his reading of others
is substantial.
Oh? so now the unlearned disciples have all of
a sudden become scholars according to JD. John and
his brother James, sons of Zebedee, fishermen on
the sea of Galilee are now Seminary grads and
know all about cultural distinctions and all
that. I guess Peter had learned all this before giving
his
address on the day of Pentecost also .....
Get a grip JD.
Paul is admittedly well read. What I do know is this
- you and Judy speak of that which you cannot
know.
Why not? We have the mind of Christ don't
we? Or are you, like Lance going to negate every
promise
to us since we do not speak in accord
with your great learning?
You attach your interpretation of [even] historical
conisiderations to your sense of reality and then, insist
it is truth. Ridiculous in many instances.
jd
It may appear ridiculous to you JD but then God
takes pleasure in hiding things from those who think
themselves wise and prudent and He
likes revealing things to babes.
I have yet to hurl an epithet anywhere
Lance. My objection to Calvinism is for some very specific reasons
with or
without "firsthand
knowledge or intricate and specific detail" about Calvin the
man. His teachings are enough. I will
leave the man to
God. I have no desire to be an expert on John Calvin the man or
any other anti-Christ (meaning in
place of) figure for
that matter and this would include
Athanasius, Augustine, Aquinas, et al. along to the present
Papacy both rc and
protestant. I am happy to leave you to
tend to them while I press on to know the Lord and the
power of His resurrection in my daily life.
cd: Amen Judy for their fruits are enough-Studying their
teaching apart from their works is the reason those -who support
Calvin-on this site are confused. We see their work so we have no need
for their teachings. We don't have to study the Satanic Bible to
know our enemy for truth sheds a bright light on him already. The
Bible teaches to look at their fruits and their works is what God Judges
every man by-so we can also use God tool to know them.
Were I prone to worry Judy, YOU would not
be among those about whom I would. Why? I perceive you to be a
completely and utterly genuine believer, who esteems the Scriptures
highly and who lives what she believes. Now, when it comes to the
hurling of epithets at those servants of God about whom you possess no
firsthand knowledge, I'd put you alongside DaveH and Blainer and their
knowledge of the TRUE GOSPEL. (Believe it or not, this is a sort of
compliment, Judy)
I wonder if the Bereans had done any
reading of primary source material when they examined what Paul
preached.
Also the apostle John, I wonder if he had
read source material when he exhorted 1st Century Christians
not to even
wish a false
teacher "godspeed" for if they did they would be a "partaker of his
evil deeds" If I were prone to worry
you would worry
me Lance. You are more concerned about these men than you are about
Jesus Himself and the
ministry of the Spirit of Christ. IMO
you need to do more primary reading from the source of all
Truth - then you
will more accurately be qualified to
discern between good and evil. Your qualifications are not
those of Christ.
YOU JUDY are not entitled to call it
anything, IMO. You've not done, insofar as I know, any reading of
primary source material (2 vol Institutes, Commentaries). It's
akin to hearing an atheist condemn the teachings of the Scriptures
based upon the same sort of evidentiary inquiry that you've
conducted with John Calvin.
Would Calvinistic heresay be acceptable
Lance? Where did the doctrine called Calvinism come from
if not from
him? What should we call doctrine
taken from his institutes and taught in our 20th Century
Churches? Can I call
it teachings of Calvin that Lance calls
hearsay?
With apologies (sort of) in
advance to David Miller and Linda Shields, I ask you once
again, Judy: Do you believe that you are MORE DISCERNING THAN
JOHN CALVIN? IMO, your regard for Scriptures appears to
be second to nobody on TT. (regard NOT being the same thing as
understanding). However, you do indeed appear to read/study
and live it insofar as you are enabled. Scripture is a primary
source for you. Amen! for that. Now, other
than the blessed internet, how much of John Calvin's own
writings, have you actually read. Do you possess anything
whatsoever by him? If all that you know of him would be
classed as 'hearsay' then do cease and desist from your
unfounded allegations hereafter. Stick to that
which you claim to understand, please?.
Sure they do, they camp around John
Calvin don't they? Why do you think there are so
many
different doctrines all claiming to
be the truth?
..do Bible readers 'camp' around
theological error in your neck of the
woods?
CPL, Are [Bible] readers who believe
that JC taught that encouraging the baptism of the HS
for the already converted 'sums up the Law and
Prophets' Christian/s?

Matt 7:11 is a
scripture that is used to encourage people to seek
the Baptism in the Holy
Spirit... jt

--
for reference:
7:12So in everything, do [the
good] to others [t]hat you would have them do
to you, for this sums up the Law and the
Prophets.
