@VictorLepanto

the holocaust was successful in terms of exterminating jews. guess that makes it true.

You should post the parts of this 4-part series as responses to the previous part...makes navigating easier.

You speak scornfully of "Who can argue w/ success?" Well, doesn't success imply truth. Things only work if they are consistant w/ nature. The nature of man & of God will guide how they relate to each other. Perhaps what you would accept as orthodox Calvinism failed & this other thing succeeded because their is a fatal flaw in the original Calvinist product. Honestly, I can never understand how some people identify w/ the cold fatalist abstractions of Calvin.

Practicality, ethics... now where have I heard those before? (hint: study the social gospel and the emergent church movement)
