poll on crhistian theology

[spaminator101]

to christians:
which do you beleive
to non christians:
which is more reasonable

note: its calvinism for me

[mindflayer]

Since I dont know Calvin or what he belives in,
i chose Skalnskyism.
Maybe you can get Calvin to post some of his Ideas here.
hahahah

[spaminator101]

very funny

I don't know enough about Calvinism to honestly vote either way.

I assume 'predestination' is what this poll is about?

Cheers,

[spaminator101]

yes pretty much

Without free will, we cannot make our own decisions. If everything is pre-determined for us, then god cannot be a just god because some of us (hitler?) are destined for the pit of damnation!

[spaminator101]

yes some of us are determined for the pit of damnnation but cant God do what ever he wants to show his glory and power to the ones that he has chosen before the foundation of the earth

reread romans 9

your probably going to say that thats the only scripture that calvinists know but its just the one that inforces our point the best

Various lines from scripture can only be properly interpreted in the context of all of scripture and only by a competent authority. Protestantism lacks such a competent authority as witnessed by its myriad variations.

You're right.

It's much better to have someone sit on a chair in Rome and decide for x amount of dollars how much it will cost to get into heaven and free your relatives from purgatory.

It also helps if this 'competent authority' has in the past had ties with despicable governments and dictators like Hitler and also it has single handedly tried it's best to give the whole of Christianity a bad name through such things as The Spanish Inquisition and the cruel torture and death of Jean Calas, just to name a few.

Look up the difference in meaning between "infallibility" and "indefectability". And even though books/catechisms that contain authoritative interpretations are only issued with the pope's approval, it is theologians who actually do the interpretations, although the present and most recent pope are/were theologians.
