(John 10:16;17) Perseverance of the Saints 39: And this is the Father’s will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day.

I agree. I once had a very good Christian discussion with a Mormon. After reading of the PCUSA funding of pagan fertility sophia goddess worship and gender challenged worship re-imaging denying the diversity between men and women and the possibility of ordination of rebellious non repentant sinners, she asked, *Are Presbyterians still Christian?* Yet many Presbyterians consider Mormons a cult. True Christians follow God’s Word as taught and affirmed by Jesus Christ, not the traditions of men and certainly not gender confused legalistic fictions, fertility goddess worship, sexual immorality of the temple prostitutes, and Liberation Theology. However, any Christian demonimation that calls the choice of a sinful lifestyle an acceptable alternative lifestyle is not practicing love, but rebellion to God’s Word and Jesus’s teachings. Christ did not teach anyone to be tolerant to sin, but to abjectly reject it. Love is following the commandments and statues of God, to the last jot and tittle as Jesus Christ affirmed. — May God Bless You, Michael Character Counts. It is not hypocritical to set a high goal and occasionally fail. It is hypocritical to set a low goal and occasionally succeed.

Yes I do. Now do you have a real arguement against these Scriptures?or are you just wasting my time? Particular Redemption 11: I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep. 15: As the Father knoweth me, even so know I the Father: and I lay down my life for the sheep.

life to as many as thou hast given him. (John 17:2) This does not mean 1) that one cannot resist grace or 2) that anyone can be certain whether or not he *is* of the elect. If this were so, Paul would not have had reservations about his own salvation. Once again, your theory is outside of the Bible and it was never taught universally. Particular Redemption 11: I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep. 15: As the Father knoweth me, even so know I the Father: and I lay down my life for the sheep. (John 10:11;15) 13: Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.

(John 10:27-29) This is not unorthodox – no argument here. It’s the spiritual myopia of the Calvinists that’s wrong. Do you really think that God could expect anyone to understand a doctrine
as tedious as Calvinism? Yes
OK – does one NEED to understand it? If so why? Do Calvinists understand Calvinism? Yes. But not at first, we all reject it.
Until you see the benefits of declaring yourself one of the elect? Does anyone understand Calvinism? Did Calvin know what he was talking
about? Yes and so did MANY people in History.
Really? What history? The history of Pottersville Presbyterian Church? BAM

Perhaps among the gnostics… *Sophia* certainly is Greek for "wisdom," but that does not negate the fact that "Sophia" is used as a proper name for certain persons, whether human or mythological goddesses. And the PCUSA certainly held a conference in 1993 [the so-called "Re-imaging Conference"] and the context was *worship* toward "Our Maker Sophia". Worship was given in a ritual called "Milk and Honey" where the participants [United Methodists, Presbyterian USA and Lutheran (ELCA)] called on "Goddess Sophia" to come and "replace traditional Christianity" [*Presbyterian Layman*, January-February 1994]. Like a ship coming into port, certain participants of the conference made the claim that "of course" they weren’t worshipping a goddess. "Sophia" doesn’t represent a Goddess but "merely" wisdom, very much like the Wisdom spoken of in Proverbs 8 [the feminine Hebrew word for wisdom is used in this passage] (See *Washington Post*, 4 June 1994, p. C8). This is complete dishonesty on the part of the participants. The *entire* context of the Re-imaging conference was to invoke *worship* of a pagan goddess, *Sophia*, apart from any semantical games to deny it. Gnosticism has *long* worshipped "Mother Wisdom," or Sophia ["Sophia" was the fallen creator of the earth, wind, fire, air and water, and the mother of the "evil demiurge," the Lord God of the Old Testament (and New, to be precise) See *Ungodly Rage*, Steicken, p. 162]. Regarding this "Re-imaging" conference and the *worship* of the *Goddess* Sophia that took place there, Elizabeth Actemier, feminist and professor at Union Theological Seminary in Richmond, VA, commented "Some women have reacted (to injustices to women) with justifiable rage, but what they are really doing is constructing a new church, a new religion. It is an entirely different religion than the Christian faith" (See *The Atlanta Journal- Constitution*, 22 May 1994, p. D2). So, yes, "sophia" is Greek for wisdon; and *yes*, the Re-imaging Conference certainly worshipped the *goddess* Sophia; and no, it is not Christ whom they call upon by doing so. "If it weren’t for the Christians we would all be Christian" Ghandi
Replace the word "Christian" with "Jew" and you see the prejudiced hate behind the remark. Intolerance, hate and hypocrisy all in one! *And as many as had been appointed to eternal life believed* –[Acts 13:48] "We should pray that our enemies be converted and become our friends, and if not, that their doing and designing be bound to fail and have no success and that their persons perish rather than the Gospel and the Kingdom of Christ." - Martin Luther

Translation: I am really an apostle of Satan. I can interpret the Bible ~any~ way that ~I~ and my loony whacko cultists see fit. We contend that a person need not be saved by God to comprehend the wonders of the heavenlies. Unfortunately, I am totally ignorant of both the truths of Scripture, and the doctrinal system as compiled from those Scriptures by Calvin. I hate Christians, and anything to do with God. I am also unable to argue at a reasonable level of clarity, demonstrate links between my stupid statements concerning faith and the Scriptures, and ultimately, must resort to school-yard tactics to ’square’ away with true Christians.
Good Translation! you are fluent in stupid speak? LOL TigerMan
