Apologetics Forum: Ask questions about Christianity/Debate doctrinesOSAS viewsI John 2:18-19 is your proof that "they were never saved in the first place":
Read what I wrote. I am not saying you are mud-slinging because you disagree with what Calvin believed. I am saying that you are mud-slinging because you are implying that I am not basing my beliefs in the Bible. My belief is based on what I believe the Bible teaches, just like your belief is based on what you believe the Bible teaches. As soon as you stop saying that the only reason I believe OSAS is true is because Calvin taught it, then I will stop saying that you are mud-slinging. As far as I'm concerned, the name Calvin should not enter into this discussion at all because we are both using the Bible to defend our positions, not another man's teachings. Yet you refuse to bear the burden of proof when it comes to backing up this claim. If the Bible teaches the opposite of OSAS, then use the Bible to prove it - don't dodge my challenge by saying that you're not the author of the original post, therefore it's not up to you to prove it. No, that's my sense of humor that is being demonstrated by those sarcastic remarks. Sure, you did. You said that the reason you closed them is that it is a volatile subject that causes much dissention and anger. That's a very valid reason. However, as near as I could tell (at least in my posts), there wasn't as much anger as you seemed to think there was, which is why I thought it was overkill to shut down all the threads on the subject. If you deem that as a personal attack, then so be it. I merely thought you were overreacting in the heat of the discussion. Yes, appealing to the webmaster would have been the eppropriate thing to do. Apologies for not doing that. Frankly, I forgot it was an option - I haven't committed the Forum Rules to memory, yet. Saying that is an evidence of my anger, though, is a bit much. |
