Since it was originally copied and pasted into their brain, I guess it would be a bit unreasonable for us to expect them to do something other than copy and paste from their brain into SA comment.

What about context, Yamil? I guess you forgot to apply it here. You seem to be pretty selective in what you read.
"I for one would like to support wholeheartedly the comments made by Moderator Alpha."

Personally, I agree with the moderator. That does not mean that what he states is not an ad hominem. But if Calvinists' theology is inconsistent with their practice, then I would think that their open ended rules would be equally as inconsistent.

I agree with Walt as well. Unfortunately, I can't remember the last time, he responded to one of my posts without an ad hominem.

The difference between I and those of your camp is that I do not whine about it.

If you would spent as much time on developing a strong exegetical case for your position as you do at finding ways to censor the opposition, I would think that these debates would be much more profitable.

You all know that I am game for a honest discussion. But as has been proven time and time again, that is not what you are interested in.

"Personal attacks or insults directed at other users will be censored."

The unbiased reader would think it suspicious that after four years, all of a sudden, my comments are termed "crude" even though it does not contain any vulgarity nor profanity.

I doubt anyone would deny that, just like other false religions have existed.

Funny how you quickly switch from trying to discover what God states to some off the wall quotation that proves absolutely nothing.

I am sure we all here can find someone that would agree with our theological bias.

It does not take a rocket scientist to do that.

If you were as eager to expose the Scriptures as you are on tediously searching for ad hominems, then I think your position would have a fighting chance.

But as previously demonstrated, you care not for what God states, for you had elevated your experiences above God's holy Word.

It's called existentialism: If I experienced it; it is true. If I did not experience it; it is therefore not true.

It's the foundation to Pentecostalism if you care to study its history.

Yes, anyone can cut and paste scripture passages without any consideration of context.

There is nothing more fruitless than to have two people with opposing perspectives who both absolutely refuse to allow God to mean what he states and state what he means.

It's like an Indian trying to communicate with an Asian and each insisting that the other submit to his opinion.

Seriously folks, that should be a crime.
