Another former Calvinist Sam Shamoun

Okay I got one...

How many Calvinists does it take to change a lightbulb? None. They believe in the total depravity of the darkness!
 
According to the Bible, laughter is indeed good medicine. The book of Proverbs 17:22 states, “A merry heart doeth good like a medicine: but a broken spirit drieth the bones.” This verse emphasizes the importance of having a joyful heart, which can have a positive impact on one’s physical and emotional well-being.

In addition to Proverbs 17:22, other Bible verses also highlight the value of laughter and joy. For example, Psalm 126:2 says, “Then our mouth was filled with laughter, and our tongue with shouts of joy. Then they said among the nations, ‘The Lord has done great things for them.’”

The Bible also teaches that laughter can be a way to bring people together and create a sense of community. In Luke 15:25-32, Jesus tells the parable of the prodigal son, where the father welcomes his son back with open arms and a feast, complete with laughter and celebration.

Overall, the Bible encourages us to cultivate a sense of joy and laughter in our lives, recognizing that it can be a powerful medicine for our souls.
Absolutely.

I'm not sure they'd want to change one. They might be worried someone might see the light that wasn't meant to. They might think there's no way they could be ordained to do this! Get somebody else to do it who's conscience won't bother them.

PS I don't delight in the humor I put forth my spirit is sadden by the way that they think. But it is a genuine point though.....they don't believe everyone is meant to see the LIGHT.

All but not some?
Stop running from the refutation of your doctrine

God is not the cause of all of man's evil

as scripture shows

James 1:13 Let no one say when he is tempted, “I am being tempted by God,” for God cannot be tempted with evil, and he himself tempts no one. 14 But each person is tempted when he is lured and enticed by his own desire.

1John 2:16 For all that is in the world—the desires of the flesh and the desires of the eyes and pride of life—is not from the Father but is from the world.

Jer. 32:35 They built the high places of Baal in the Valley of the Son of Hinnom, to offer up their sons and daughters to Molech, though I did not command them, nor did it enter into my mind, that they should do this abomination, to cause Judah to sin.

Is. 30:1 “Ah, stubborn children,” declares the LORD,
“who carry out a plan, but not mine,
and who make an alliance, but not of my Spirit,
that they may add sin to sin;

Gal. 5:7 You were running well. Who hindered you from obeying the truth? 8 This persuasion is not from him who calls you.

1Cor. 10:13 No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man. God is faithful, and he will not let you be tempted beyond your ability, but with the temptation he will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it.

Rom. 11:23 And even they, if they do not continue in their unbelief, will be grafted in, for God has the power to graft them in again.

I think the one you posted was actually a lot funnier than the one I did.
 
I know him much better than you do. I've never seen him appeal to a "paradoxical" defense for the Trinity.
Trinity is a paradox, so what other answer could ya give, "it's a paradox/mystery/unexplainable." And then, why do I feel like I have been ghosted by Matt Slick, if he has a unparadoxical answer? Whether he admits it, or not, it ends in "Mystery!"

But I know the Trinity better then you do, which I will continue in the thread > Your Views on The Trinity <.

yes with the puppet master god the little robots just do as they were preprogrammed to do.

this god cannot love or care for anything since he is a dictator that is a control freak.

Calvin (Tulip) "Hyper Tulip" = Hyper Calvinists...

They have ADAM eating the forbidden fruit, because God pre-destined Him to eat what God told Him not to eat.

Calvinism, and the rest of it.......is a mind virus that blinds the mind, tricks the mind, "bewitches" the mind.

Consider that a 6 yr old could understand that "IF God said not to do it, then that is not God predestining you to do it".

Yet a "grown up" TULIP head, sits there blinking.....unable to comprehend anything but "elect, pre-destined"... "elect-predestined".

They are mental robots "stuck on repeat"..... mind blinded, and happy to be so.
