In Luke’s Gospel we see Jesus castigating the Pharisees for their humanistic religious “Show.” Just such a parade of human aspirations, beyond Bible teachings, do we observe in the Arminian religion.
The Arminian declared objection to God’s Sovereignty develops in their doctrines as raising the sinner to a higher status than Scripture ever allows.
Thus just as the Pharisee invented their own religion – so does the Arminian try to do.
God’s Sovereignty is sufficiently illustrated in the verses describing the Potter and the clay. “Hath not the potter power over the clay, of the same lump to make one vessel unto honour, and another unto dishonour?” However the Arminian conviction refuses to accept a supreme being as God, their version is to “create” a lesser god who panders to their very human whims.

If Calvin was that powerful - Why don't you acknowledge his God given power.

This is from the Anabaptist Network site.

"It is safe to say that MĂĽnster often was at the forefront of the mind of any conservative who used the expression "anabaptist" during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. The term implied that the persons so described had placed themselves outside the company of reasonable people. Often it applied to anyone who was more radical than the person speaking happened to like."

Yes in the majority of cases I've spoken to those who were Kirk, they don't want Homosexuality to be sanctioned by the Kirk. But the real problem in the Kirk today is Liberalism. This has created a church ignorant of real Biblical understanding.

The other way of "voting" many have taken is to walk away from the Kirk because of the "other" religion which has taken over; - That religion is NOT Christianity - That religion is of Satan - That religion is Liberalism.

Good grief DB, I gave you more credit for common sense than this.

Stop misquoting history and lying about the historic facts.

Why does God allow heresy.?

1Cor 11:19 "For there must be also heresies among you, that they which are approved may be made manifest among you."

Matt 7:21 "Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity."

They called Jesus "Lord, Lord..."
They did works in His name.
Is that Hate.???

Yet Christ here declares I never knew you ......that work iniquity.
Thus they went to church
BUT were not saved.

If Christ's death was efficacious for ALL -then- ALL will be saved.???
It is God who makes it efficacious.

This is Universalism JD.

Do you accept the universalist theology that "ALL" are saved.???

Nobody going to hell.???

Matt 10:28 "And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in HELL."

Matt23:33 "Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of HELL?"

John 6:37 "All that the Father giveth me *SHALL* come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out." (KJV)

Actually the word used is "SHALL"
- Not "Will."

2Thes 2:8] And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming:
[9] Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,
[10] And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they *RECEIVED NOT* the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
[11] And for this cause God shall send them **STRONG DELUSION,** that they should believe a lie:
[12] That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness."

As the Canons observed in this rejection.

(Armins) "That it cannot properly be said that original sin in itself suffices to condemn the whole human race or to deserve temporal and eternal punishment."

[Truth] "For these contradict the apostle, who declares: "Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned" (Rom. 5:12). And: "The judgment was by one to condemnation" (Rom. 5:16). And: "The wages of sin is death" (Rom. 6:23)."

= The same kind of blindness appears inherent and active within the Arminian club today who post on the site. I guess it's the same old heresy and isn't going to change, whether 5th century, 17th century or the 21st.
