(18:49)
If you were wondering how an educated Arminian would read Romans chapter nine in a way contrary to how we have, here’s your answer (at least the first part of it). The authors make spotty references to this or that phrase in this or that verse and essentially ignore the immediate context of Paul’s argument.

Thanks so much for telling everyone not to buy the book. God forbid people decide for themselves what is truth and what is not. I mean with out you guys TELLING people what to believe rather than discovering it for themselves…wow…I always knew you reformed guys were a cult…

An interesting attack albeit a flawed execution: misquoting what someone has said while possessing the ability to listen and relisten to what they actually DID say. John says, “we’re not telling to rush out and buy this book.” They DIDN’T tell “everyone not to buy this book.” These are not equivalent statements.
I understand that misquoting someone and then calling them names is a time-honored tradition (unfortunately) but I think we can rise above that here, can’t we?

thank you pastors for opening the Word of God and not giving your own opinion, that believers are children of promise Galatians 4:28, yes the promise not of reformed pastors but of God Himself

You see Mykel, it’s not just me.
If you honestly came to this web site with an open mind, and that’s all you could come up with….I will continue to pray for you. This is not a forum to air out your personal opinions, but to teach those that want to learn. Hence the name “URC LEARNING”.
Name calling does not equal love.
a cult is “a religion or sect considered to be false, unorthodox, or extremist, with members often living outside of conventional society under the direction of a charismatic leader.”
1 Cor 13:2 And though I have [the gift of] prophecy, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing.
1 John 4:20 If someone says, “I love God,” and hates his brother, he is a liar; for he who does not love his brother whom he has seen, how can he love God whom he has not seen?
