Predestination and Determinism

The doctrine of predestination is to be handled with special prudence and care, that men attending the will of God revealed in his Word, and yielding obedience to it, may from a understanding of it and be assured of their eternal election; so shall this doctrine Should be praised so by that sincerely obey the gospel.

It's awesome, why would anyone want to conceal The Westminster Confession of Faith?

As God hath appointed the elect unto glory, so hath He, by the eternal and most free purpose of His will, foreordained all the means thereunto. Wherefore, they who are elected . . . are effectually called unto faith in Christ by His Spirit working in due season, are justified, adopted, sanctified, and kept by His power, through faith, unto salvation. Neither are any other redeemed by Christ, effectually called, justified, adopted, sanctified, and saved, but the elect only.

The rest of mankind God was pleased, according to the unsearchable counsel of His own will, whereby He extendeth or withholdeth mercy, as He pleaseth, for the glory of His Sovereign power over His creatures, to pass by; and to ordain them to dishonour and wrath for their sin, to the praise of His glorious justice.

Keep quoting it. I love it. 👍
 
No! How will I ever sleep tonight? My favorite zealot won't talk to me. 😪
Another one bites the dust. Some people just can't handle the truth.:ROFLMAO:

You didn't credit the confession. You posted it as your own? Is it common for you do this. I don't see how you can be so unethical as to present such as your own.

I said I was done with him. Not you. I can handle the Truth. When are you going to post your own comments and stop pretending you're someone else?

He is a troll. I don't care what he does but he isn't here to discuss anything. If it were up to me, I'd ban him. I've ran forums for a large portion of my life. Trolls are one thing that have no place in forums.

All he has are one liners meant to destroy a conversation. Claim him if you want.

Are we having fun yet?

How does one go about claiming someone? Who exactly am I pretending to be? Is that enough dialogue for you? I might be able to come up with some more.

But seriously, If you've run forums for a large percentage of your life, then you know how it goes. I don't understand how any of this could come as a shock to you.

We're on the internet, and that means there are all kinds of different people with different ideas on here with us. The best we can do is just try to get along. I know one thing for sure if you read a bunch of these derogatory posts It tends to make anyone get upset and want to lash back. I was hoping that this forum might be a little different. We just have to work at it. We are called to lift each other up not tear each other down.;)

hang in there they will tone it down and unfortunately its the nature of the beast with online forums. no one wants to or is willing to admit they are wrong and we all defend what we believe with passion, the key is to not make it personal.

This is not complicated to understand. You posted comments made by someone else as your own. Thusly, you are pretending to be them.

Not complicated at all. If "Plagiarism" doesn't bother you, then what else doesn't "bother you"?

Now you're deliberately misrepresenting what I said. I never said nor even implied that that was a "shock to me".

Why be so dishonest?

I said I would ban him because of my experience. Nothing "shocking" at all. I am glad you admit he is nothing but a troll.

No we are not. I'm not going to pretend that what you believe isn't offensive to the teachings of Christianity. It is. It dishonors Christ and exalts YOU.

Paul told Timothy to "rebuke before all". This is a public doctrine you're teaching. A doctrine that tells others that YOU are chosen while those just like you are damned.

Sorry if you think that is uplifting. It isn't. Not even close. So abide by your own standard for others.

If you want to have an "uplifting" dialogue, then start by posting your own comments and stop stealing them from others without rightfully attributing them to those who wrote them.

People do this because they are pretending to be something they are not. They let others speak for them and pretend they are the one speaking.
