No I'm not a Christian don't know where the fuck you got that from. But its this thing called I utilize race politics for my own enrichment and I signal that way for such purposes. Also the more antiracist I appear the less likely I am to get nig housing built in my area.

I would be like him today if society wasn't so shit. Try putting him in the modern world and he'd just be assaulted by a black. Would he go do brave things if he lived in a multicultural shithole that hates whites?

>>17167837
No he won't. I'm a 3% Democrat with an Asian wife and mixed children living in a wealthy suburb that votes left but sometimes swing if we get too "enriched". Why would Biden compromise the type of please he himself would live retard. Also I have a BLM sign on my lawn

>>Rational thought=mental gymanstics.
Rational thought does not include postmodern textual exegesis to pretend words don't hold the meanings they hold. Calling "reading a text but ignoring the central word and the definition of that word in favor of entirely different concepts" rational thought makes a mockery of the concept.

>Anon, I will conceed this to you if you can explain one thing to me. If "destiny" is really as big of a thing as you're making it out to be then how do you explain your OWN free will? You have the choice to do ANYTHING YOU WANT, if this were not the case then why is everything the way it is? Why did the fall happen?
Are you actually familiar with the calvinist position AT ALL? I wouldn't even know how to respond to this because you're arguing with a strawman. Even a cursory reading of the westminster would clear up all of your questions here. Why don't you just read it?

>>17167616
I don't read anything written before 2012 because it's intrinsically white and racist.

I'm hanging out with some my bros from Bates so we can go over the numbers from my book sales.

>>17167511
I'll pray for you

>>17167499
Huh? I'm going out to celebrate my book sales. With a lot of Bates alums.

This is the face of catholicism everybody. Remember that.

>>17167475
Please feel free to tell me which denomination you are that encourages interdenominational slander and race larping psychosis. I think your posts speak for themselves but we should all allow you to bear witness here.

Hey guys I'm here the party can start.

>>17167321
The catechism of the catholic church states you are to refer to protestants as fellow Christians. Go to confession you obstinate sinner. If you even attend church, no doubt everyone there including the priest would be ashamed of your lack of ecumenism. This is why it is so clear you're larping. Actual catholics don't behave like you do. Maybe if you actually practiced youd act more like them.

>>17167333
Thats a good thing. The PCUSA is a liberal mainline church you idiot. You've shown an insane degree of misunderstanding in posting something like that.

>>17167255
apparently the Bible does too. Cope.

>>17167238
Every evangelical Presbyterian church in the US is growing though? Such a point could only be made if you referred to leftist mainlines but what would i care about them? Maybe you should have done some research first.

I'll take this deflection as capitulation to my point too tho

>>17166962
None of those "clever" reinterpretations are supported by the text. This isn't an argument. You're just taking the bibles words and then stating something else next to it. Not how exegesis works. Not how reading works, for that matter

>>17166860
>He didn't predestine anything.
Well then it sure is weird that the Bible says that huh?

>>17166745
This is pretty sad. I'll take this post as a concession. Using the term "debunked" to apply to theology and then autistically asking me to watch some random video online isn't an argument, and it's just... I dunno, pathetic. Anyway maybe we can both just wait for something who is smarter and actually has an argument to come along and make the discussion more interesting. Nice try though, kiddo!

>>17166667
>What is so hard about this?
the fact that regardless of the extent to what you said appears sensible or is true, none of that is biblical. Its not what God actually said on the subject. For instance, free will is not discussed in the Bible. Predestination, however, is. So yoir reformulation is unnecessary at best and misleading at worst.

There is absolutely no reason not to just listen to what God says on this subject and accept it. That's the point of calvinism.
