From “Morning & Evening” by Charles H. Spurgeon.
“The man who is really forgiven, is anxious not to offend again; the possession of justification leads to an anxious desire for sanctification.”
Two errors about holiness: treating it as optional because we’re saved by grace no matter the circumstances, or treating it as a ladder we climb to be accepted by our own effort. Scripture thoroughly rejects both.
Which one do you see more in the church today, and what does it look like?
Shameful, absolutely shameful. I’m not sure where there is the fruit of the Holy Spirit in your post -we already know the answer, it isn’t there- but you are absolutely in error.
Repent.
W H A T?!?!
Oh heck naaaah! Renatta is truly a blessing on my timeline, anyone who says she isn’t truly a gift from God needs to be slapped with a wet noodle.
From “Morning & Evening” by Charles H. Spurgeon.
“Jesus is not a grain of gold, but a vast globe of it, a priceless mass of treasure such as earth and heaven cannot excel.”
I asked her the same question in different words… pretty much refused to see the question in the way it was asked.
Owen published this in 1656, while Vice-Chancellor of Oxford, from various sermons he had preached. He wasn’t selling self-made discipline or promoting the idea of man conquering sin of his own accord.
For Owen, sin is put to death by the Spirit, with one’s faith set upon Christ, and no believer outgrows the work.
Hmm… I think this guy needs to back and read his Bible.
1 Timothy 3:2
A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, temperate, sober-minded, of good behavior, hospitable, able to teach;
1 Timothy 3:12
Let deacons be the husbands of one wife, ruling their children and their own houses well.
Titus 1:6
if a man is blameless, the husband of one wife, having faithful children not accused of dissipation or insubordination.
From “Morning & Evening” by Charles H. Spurgeon.
“Do not be afraid to dwell upon this high doctrine of election.”
Again… because you identify her as a Calvinist, that makes her one, irregardless of what she professes to believe? That’s a poor position to hold to.
I would heavily encourage you to stop letting your apparent hatred towards the word “Calvinism” influence how you respond to other people when dealing with a theological debate.
This rabid “Oh, Calvinist! I must ignore EVERYTHING they say automatically now.” mindset is honestly eerily similar to liberals and how emphatic they are on shutting down everything that does not align with their own view.
That’s not a fair and true representation of Calvinism, much less right theology or thinking about God.
Calling her a Calvinist does not make her one, nor is it an automatic correct statement about actual calvinists.
