Re: Why cessationism is unblical, irrational and boring.
Refreshed, I'll prove to you why I am not talking about, or have never talked about, someone jumping on my perfected bandwagon or platform (and I think I can speak for Thorn too on this, although this probably goes for me more than it does him). I don't like Arminians. Just like you don't like Calvinists. I believe Arminians have a huge misunderstanding of the gospel and it shows in the things they talk about. Arminians tend to take the glory from God and apply it to themselves in a lot of ways. That really bugs me!
And I don't like Pentecostals at all either as you said, and that is partly because they are all Arminian too with the same usual Arminian errors, and then they add a bunch of other false doctrines, such as the second baptism, when the bible makes it clear there is One Baptism, not two. All their false doctrines affect greatly the things they talk about, and they also, even more than Arminians from other denominations, give the glory to themselves, with the constant talk of their gifts, etc.
So in saying all that, what am I saying? I've been very tolerant being on here! lol But lately with all this other absolutely insane stuff coming up, and really it's not new, I've been through all this before with Ed many times. But I have seen in the past couple of months more than I ever saw before how dangerous it all is, and I thought you were seeing it too. And I think you are, but you still seem to be treating this as if it's the same as other debates in the past. In other words, you seem to be more against me right now than Ed, and I don't care about that whatsoever on a personal level. But I would like you to see that Ed is in a far far more dangerous category than just a debate between Arminianism and Calvinism or cessationism and continuationism.
But apparently you are not seeing that, and again, that's okay. You can only see what you can see, until God shows you differently, according to calvinism. lol
