Abigail wrote: "But a few years after [Arminius] death, some zealous men with the Prince of Orange at their head, furiously assaulted all that held what were called his opinions; and having procured them to be solemnly condemned, in the famous Synod of Dort, (not so numerous or learned, but full as impartial, as the Council or Synod of Trent,) some were put to death, some banished, some imprisoned for life, all turned out of their employments, and made incapable of holding any office, either in Church or State." John Wesley The Huguenots suffered the same, especially on St. Bartholomew's Day in 1572. The Huguenots were Calvinists. Picking out this kind of bad human behavior to defend or condemn a doctrinal position proves nothing. |

Sounds to me like Seaton believes those who are freed by the Gospel are freed to serve the Lord, not satan, to walk in the spirit and not after the flesh. If he acknowledges this, he's in accord with traditional Calvinist thought. If not.......hmmm.....antinomian? Surely not, Seaton, but I'll let you explain your words. |

Jim Lincoln wrote: The following is a quotation from that article, Pope Benedict XV said of Mary that '"[O]ne can justly say that with Christ, she herself redeemed mankind." (Note 10) Pope Pius IX said: "Our salvation is based upon the holy Virgin... so that if there is any hope and spiritual healing for us we receive it solely and uniquely from her."' Solely? If solely why isn't she recorded as healing anybody? We hear lots about Jesus as Redeemer and healing, but why not Mary. The Bible doesn't say she redeemed us or how she redeems. |

The one truly saved will serve the Lord out of the faith in the heart. The saved have had the will set free. The will of the unsaved is yet in bondage and the commands in Joshua will be foreign language to such, because the things of God are spiritually discerned. Those dead in sins cannot choose nor serve. Thus Christ says "You have not chosen me, I have chosen you." Those chosen serve the Lord. Good night all |

Abigail wrote: No, what I have written does not contradict the written Word of God—it contradicts Calvinism!! Believing motivates action. Calvinism agrees with this: Believing motivates action. At least from what I know about Calvinism. |
