Re: Hello

Why are Calvinists always so full of hatred? It makes me so sad.

It's the bitterness that gets to me. I suppose it comes of having to read the mad ravings of John Knox? I pity them, really.

No bitterness here, but I can see why some may not take to newcomers after reading many of the replies coming forth from newbies.

To answer your question though, for the sake of striking up a conversation... I suppose that Calvinism appeals to an intellectual group of people, and that type of person doesn't tend to be the most warm and fuzzy. Therefore the greater danger of being hostile, gruff, abrupt, insensitive or intellectualistic is present.

Another thought, sometimes new Calvinist are quite angry. For reasons I can only guess, but I suppose it may be because they initially missed the doctrines of Grace in the Bible, and are angry that they were misled for so long.

There are many churches that ignore the truth and don't teach it. And for other reasons I am certain people here can relate when attempting to share the Gospel and are only met with hostility, partly owing to people's unwillingness to see what is really in the Bible. It is all to easy to mirror the other side and lose composure. One of the truths about Calvinist, - is that sometimes they come across as being rather elitist. But it's not about elitism, it's about having been found by Christ and having the glory of God opened in the process of salvation. It is about wanting to give God all the glory and all the credit, and cherishing the sovereignty and preciousness of grace in our lives. I am pretty sure people here share in these sentiments.

Glory to God alone!

Re: Hello

I feel we have another ignorant soul yet again trolling to support another one of these completely irrational ideas? Calvinism? Are you kidding me? Christianity is the only REAL religion. You should feel ashamed. In case you were wondering, my name is atheistsareawesome, simply because I find them eneteetaining, like fresh victims, right for the picking. You my friend, are an atheist, because you are not Christian. You all make us sick.

Is this where I am supposed to say something witty in order to court everyone's approval?

Dare I profess anything other than the Love for Christ my Lord? If am to be a vessel of wrath I will then praise Him... If I am an object of His Love then I will praise Him.

Either way,
Glory to God alone!

Jesus doesn't love Calvinists, and I challenge you to tell him otherwise when he dropkicks you into the fiery pit of hell.

For a moment I thought you were going to yell out "This is Sparta" as you drop kicked someone down into a bottomless pit - like in the movie 300.

But to comment on your post, I hope to never see that side, or rather be the recipient of His Wrath.... But I am sure there are going to be some Saints that praise Him when He does!!! J/k

Is it okay to post outside this thread elsewhere in the forum or am I supposed to be restricted only to introductions?

You can post wherever you wish. Are you a Mexican? Please refrain from posting in Spanish.

Hello -- I'd like to talk to you, and I wish that there were a way to send private messages on this forum. I can't find an option to do that.

Why not share your thoughts with all of us? We're eager to hear our Lord being Glorified!

Re: Hello

Calvinist,

I should have said that I was directing my previous message to Calvinist -- that's the person I meant in my last message. Maybe we need to become friends in order to do that. Would that be okay with you?

Because I would like to run something past Calvinist that I would rather do privately. I've read some of his/her posts, and I would like his/her opinion on something that Jesus said.

There is a way for you to contact me now -- check my profile.

As to everyone else -- I'm sorry if people feel offended because I'd like a private discussion. Even Jesus had private discussions with people. I do not intend to cause offense. There are just times when you'd like to talk to someone privately.
