I'm really surprised at this charge!<br /><br />I notice how Calvinists always use that Roman's passage, but not the Psalm it is citing, which would give the context from the first verse -- who the Psalm is about; the FOOL who says there is no God.<br /><br />If no one is able to seek God, then God is lying and tricking when he tells us to seek Him.<br />Deut. 4:29 - "But if from thence thou shalt seek the LORD thy God, thou shalt find him,<br />if thou seek him with all thy heart and with all thy soul."<br />1 Chron. 16:11 – “seek his face”<br />1 Chron. 28:9 - “If you seek Him, He will be found by you”<br />2 Chron. 15:2 – “If you seek him…” Many more in 2 Chron.<br />Ps. 9:10 – “those who seek you”<br />Ps. 22:26 – “they who seek the Lord”<br />Ps. 34:10 – “those who seek the Lord”<br />Ps. 40:16 – “all who seek you”<br />Ps. 69:6 – “may those who seek you”<br />Ps. 119:10 – “I seek you with all my heart”<br />Is. 55:6 - “Seek the Lord while He may be found”<br />Jer. 29:13 - "And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me <br />with all your heart."<br />Hos. 10:12 – “it is time to seek the Lord”<br />Zeph. 2:3 - “Seek the Lord”<br />Acts 17:27 - “so that they should seek the Lord”<br />2 Cor. 3:12-18 - “Whoever turns to the Lord”<br />Heb. 11:6 - “He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him”<br /><br />I'm not going to bother with the rest of TULIP because I don't want to get in a Calvinist/non-Calvinist debate, but for anyone interested I biblically exposed the problem with TULIP here:<br />http://watchmansbagpipes.blogspot.com/2013/02/i-am-not-calvinist.html<br /><br />(I really wish Calvinists would quit calling all those who disagree with them "Arminians" -- People like me discovered our ideology without Arminian teaching -- in fact I had never heard of him when I decided what the Bible said. Calvin didn't get his teaching from Scripture -- he got if from Augustine, who was the first to come up with it.<br /><br />In this case WWUTT has decided to join the Calvinist bandwagon and interpret Scripture through the filter of Augustine/Calvin. I don't really care, but when you put in the suggestion that those who disagree with it are "Christian leftists" then I have a problem.<br />Glenn E.

When pretending to believe their version of the Gospel, they'll still avoid the hard work of evangelizing by noting how God is responsible and such. That's when I say, "How very Calvinistic/Reformed of you!" The look on their faces is priceless when they start rewinding the tape to reconsider what they just said. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
