Calvinist's do not like simple yes or no questions. They like answering a question without having to give an answer.
It kinda reminds me of Pinnochio in the Shrek 3 movie where he was asked by Prince Charming if he knew where Shrek was. Since he knew that if he lied, it would be exposed by the growth of his nose, and since he did not want to tell the villain the truth; he simple went around in circles avoiding an answer in the affirmative nor negative.
It was hilarious. I immediately thought of the Calvinist.
Has anyone seen the movie?

Can anyone tell me how Walt is able to bully Michael Hraneck and fill his posts with ad hominems without getting banned; while I make a simple statement about a lady being saved and how Calvinism's gospel would not use that approach and I get banned?

I witnessed to a old lady at the hospital today....................... I am not sure if Jesus loves her since he has preordained a select few to be saved and I have no idea if she is one of them.

All we can do is spread the Word
allow the Holy Spirt to work
and pray that God will save her
you see Doc, we can diagnos the
disease, (how lost they are, how
in Gods eye they are sinful, what that means, the law, God is just, sin will bring Gods wrath,) then we tell them
the cure (repent and believe)
Why is it so important, and upsetting
that God knows who will be saved and
we don't. Someone in the Bible said
will many be saved, it was a self serving question, but the answer should
cause more concern, FEW.

Its in the Bible Doc, there are things
in the Bible that my flesh tries to get around, flesh, you think its DOA,
cut me, I bleed, its in the blood,
not my blood or yours.

Why is it that important Doc, does
it matter, do you think God is all
knowing or not? Its not about Man,
Its all about God

and doc you did a good thing today
didn't you, was it Biblical without
personnel bias
If so, Praise God

I must respectfully disagree with you. The reformers may have rediscovered the doctrine of Sola Scriptura, as the Roman Catholic Religion they tried to reform denied it.
But this doctrine we call 'Sola Scriptura' comes from God and is found in His Holy Written Word the Bible. And someone who believes the Bible doesn't have to be a Calvinist to believe it do they.
Sorry if I make you so unhappy, Walt. But hey if your version of Calvinism is as good as you seem to imply that it is shouldn't you be filled to overflowing with love, joy, peace, etc. and have better things to do with your time than go on and on (like I'm doing with you) in an argument that probably has no end to it?

"Thus saith the LORD, Learn not the way of the heathen, and be not dismayed at the signs of heaven; for the heathen

1.1Hear ye the word which the LORD speaketh unto you, O house of Israel:

I may be grafted in, but not in the OT
for things like this

The point of the verse is a HEATHEN, and an example of one stupid thing they do. To not fear the heathen.

5They are upright as the palm tree, but speak not: they must needs be borne, because they cannot go. Be not afraid of them; for they cannot do evil, neither also is it in them to do good.

But to fear God
6Forasmuch as there is none like unto thee, O LORD; thou art great, and thy name is great in might.

7Who would not fear thee, O King of nations? for to thee doth it appertain: forasmuch as among all the wise men of the nations, and in all their kingdoms, there is none like unto thee.

"The observed collapse time of WTC 7 [610 feet tall, 47 stories, and not hit by an airplane] was 6.5 seconds. That is only half a second longer than it would have taken for the top of the building to fall to the ground in a vacuum, and half a second shorter than the falling time of an apple when air resistance is taken into account... The great speed of the collapse and the low value of the resistance factor strongly suggest controlled demolition."

Act 4:28 - For to do whatsoever thy hand,....
It was not the end of their gathering together against Christ, or it was not their intention and design, to fulfil the purposes and decrees of God, but to fulfil their own lusts, and satiate their rage and malice against him; but it was so in the event, according to the wise disposal of providence, that by their gathering together, by their consultations and conspiracies, they brought about what God in his everlasting council had decreed.
and thy counsel determined before to be done:
God's decrees are from eternity; there is nothing comes to pass in time but what he has beforetime determined should be done, either by effecting it himself, or doing it by others, or suffering it to be done, as in the case here. Whatever was done to Christ, either by Jews or Gentiles, by Herod or Pontius Pilate, was according to the secret will of God, the covenant he made with Christ, and the council of peace that was between them both. What they wickedly did, God designed for good, and hereby brought about the redemption and salvation of his people: this neither makes God the author of sin, nor excuses the sinful actions of men, or infringes the liberty of their wills in acting.

18For they that are such serve not our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly; and by good words and fair speeches deceive the hearts of the simple.

God knows everything
including you The Bible is all about God, His Son, and the Holy Spirit. man is there and
here for Gods Glory. Salvation, not to be mocked, why, why not everybody can go and be with God, so childish, so twisted, so unfair. maybe to you, from the mouth they speak their damnation.
To me its not only Good News, there are many Gospels, but the Gospel of Jesus Christ is the best thing I ever heard.
You on the other hand,

Its time for all to avoid you

17Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them.

Just like the above verse, and more like it in the Bible.

Its ok to judge, how else would you know

The Bible also says there are some, don't even pray for,
should christians pray for everyone?

The fact that christians don't want to
say anything against things that are evil, as to not appear judgmental,
could explain alot, TBN, for example
