The 4 soils in the parable refute T.U.L.I.P.

And on other sites if not banned to see one's post edited down by a mod with the ONLY reason for doing so is that they knew you were making some really good points.

Especially if you offer an argument which cannot be answered. Then a moderator might call it spam and suspend you.

Besides being suspended for the slightess thing, I got my Calvinism's Zero-Sum Distortion of Soli Deo Gloria topic wilted down to basically just a hello.

A certain moderator there tended toward pettiness and vindictiveness. You could get banned for making that one look bad.

All the seed, except the first example that fell on hard soil and was swept away, sprang to life, yet only one produced any fruit.

Yep-time to steady the ship.

She made herself look bad. It didn’t take much effort just posting. And the ad homs too.

Previous hot topics were the Trinity, the Divinity of Christ, Baptism, Messianic Jewish Supremacy, etc... Tomorrow it might be something else. There's never a dull moment here. I hope you're enjoying it here.

On a different Christian forum that I am also a member of the hot topic is the sabbath and what I call "type 2 works salvation" or salvation by works at the back door. Also, the political threads have been hijacked by liberals and progressives on that same site. It's a train wreck!

It's a train wreck everywhere.

It's interesting how certain groups gravitate to specific forums. We recently had an influx of Messianic Jews who are wildly divergent on how to approach that faith. I've struck up friendships with some of them but there is one who advocates the ethnic cleansing of all Gentiles throughout the Middle East. There's never a dull moment here.

On a certain other site, scriptures are often ignored and called spam and the one posting them is then banned.

The 4 soils in the parable also refute O. S. A. S.

all can choose to believe and receive as demonstrated in the parable of the 4 soils
all soils received the seed without exception
3/4 soils (minds/hearts) did not preserver in the faith

1 - Only something alive can be choked. You cannot choke the dead. And as we can see they all had life to begin with in each soil.
2- Only something alive can be scorched by the Sun and withered.
3 - Only someone alive can receive the word in the heart and have it snatched away
4 - Only someone alive can receive the word with Joy and endure for a while

hope this helps !!!
