You're right, but FV doesn't disagree...not sure where you're getting your info...

Arminian, I think you misunderstand the final judgment. Believers and unbelievers are judged by faith. That's it. That's what sends a person to Heaven or Hell.

Our works are the outward sign of our faith. If they are not there, neither is saving faith.

2:45 Compelling to anyone who doesn't think for one second.

I'm out.

1:33 No, it's not - if the test is fair, and justified for the situation (training someone into assuming a position of responsibility and competence, for example), the teacher taking the test for them it NOT a good thing, and not good news to anyone who's idealistic enough to see that.

What utter bullshit.

If, of course, the test is utter bullshit (memorizing 54 bird names in 2 minutes so you can get into a country, instead of being shipped back into the tyranny you've fled from), then... well

"Doug Wilson is a risk taker, we all know that."?

@LetReasonPrevail1 : I recommend reading Doug Wilson's pamplet "Southern Slavery, As it Was", to see what sort of things he says when he's not filtering for his audience. He directly says that Blacks had it better under slavery than they've ever had it since and slaveowners were great Christians, with a better Christian community than we've had before or since. He has a number of associations with White supremacists. Wilson's view of a theocratic America under his ideology is sick.

@talitha00cumi We are sent to hell because we are sinners, period. God gives faith for the elect to have assurance.

[trident343]

John piper will joyfully buddy up with anybody who 1) Believes in predestination and 2) de facto denies Sola Fide - Justification by faith alone

[LetReasonPrevail1]

Having someone taking a test for you is NOT good news. It is poor logic and really bad advice that flies directly in the face of the "self reliance"-type attitude that has made the U.S.A. the successful country that it is.

[LetReasonPrevail1]

By the way, Doug Wilson believes in overthrowing our current system of democratic representation & replacing it with a biblically-based gov't that makes laws in accordance with the Old Testament.

He also co-authored a lovely little booklet a few years back that extolled the virtues of the "Old South" in which he asserted that blacks lived in harmony as slaves to their white owners & that this was all supported by biblical law.

Nice, eh?

Bullshit is bullshit no matter how you package it.

@aLOVINGinfidel

Oh, come on. What's the fun in that? Plus, haven't you ever heard of the magical transformative power of group think?

Here's how it works:

If you believe in and talk to an imaginery friend, you will considered insane.

But if can get lots of other people to pretend to believe in and pretend to talk to the same imaginery person, then you will be referred to as religious.

How cool and / or retarded is that?

Cheers,

And let reason prevail (some day I hope)

@Arminian100 or is it that because we are written in the Lamb's book of Life we are not part of the groupt that is judged? wait, it says "every man..." doesn't it...hahaha

well thank GOD for imputation! LITERALLY! hahaha
