quote:As I've said, truth isn't determined by consensus or a democratic vote. Being in the majority doesn't make you right, even as we know that Christianity being a minority in countries in the Middle East doesn't make Christianity false and Islam true.
I am pleased that you recognize that Calvin's view is a minority view even among Protestants.
"Calvinism" is entirely based on scripture, so whether or not everyone agrees to it, it is a faithful representation of what the Bible teaches.
quote:I repeat: truth is not determined by a majority vote.
As a corollary of that fact, I would point out that most Protestants would opine that Calvin's view is indeed a "false view", and, in everybody's opinion, a "false view" is an unbiblical view.
quote:Calvin didn't invent "Calvinism"; his teachings clarified what the scriptures already taught. The 5 points of Calvinism, as they are known today, weren't even developed by Calvin, himself, but came about as response to the points of the remonstrance that piggy-backed off of what Jacob Arminius taught.
John Calvin was a learned scholar who lived from 1509 to 1564.
Jesus Christ established His Church and trained the first leaders of His Church in the year 33.

quote:Because your comment about God walking and talking with people to provide an evidence that would convince more people to believe and avoid Hell is based on a faulty presupposition: that all it takes for someone to believe is to be in the presence of God (incredible supernatural evidence). Cain was in the presence of God and yet he is held up as an example of an enemy of God. The people of Israel heard God and saw His power first-hand, and they were still mired in unbelief in His promises. The Pharisees saw the powerful acts of Jesus and still rejected Him as God. Satan and his angels were created by God and saw His glory, and yet they still fell in rebellion. Clearly, seeing is not believing.
Why are you focusing on all the people who saw and didn't believe, and ignoring all the people who saw and believe?
So to answer your question about those that did believe: they believed because God opened their spiritual eyes and ears to see and hear the truth and accept it as true. God gave them the faith to receive His promises that they would have otherwise rejected if God did not intervene in that way.
In John 10, Jesus said that His sheep (His chosen people) hear His voice and they follow Him. They are not His sheep because they hear His voice; they hear His voice because they are His sheep. Jesus said to those who didn't believe that their unbelief was due to them not belonging to Him as His sheep. It wasn't that their unbelief caused them to not be His sheep, but that they were not His sheep which resulted in their unbelief.
quote:The reason why I said your analogy assumes we are innocent is because of your complaint. If we are all guilty (we are), then we have no basis to complain about only 1-2% of people being given the flotation device while the rest don't, because not even the 1-2% deserve to be singled out for salvation.
No, my analogy addresses our guilt. I said we were created in a pool, drowning (dying of sin) immediately upon our creation. There's no chance to be innocent. There's no chance to be anything other than guilty.
It was once said that we are not sinners because of our sin, but we sin because we are sinners. We are born with a fallen, sinful nature that directs our desires (wills), where we desire to sin and disobey God. We naturally desire to be selfish and to seek to honor ourselves before we honor God (if we desire to honor God at all). And even before we know what we're doing (sin doesn't require full knowledge of what you're doing), we are guilty by our federal head or representative, Adam.
So yes, we are all conceived in guilt and iniquity and no one deserves the flotation device.
quote:Like I said previously, your presupposition in a free and unhindered will that will always result in saving faith as long as sufficient information is provided is not accurate. The "pardon rates" aren't "bad" because of the method or the inability of God, but because that is how God planned it to be. The rates are low on purpose, because God wanted to show mercy in saving some while glorifying in His justice by not saving the rest. And since no one deserves that salvation in the first place, God is not a monster by choosing to not save someone any more than a king or supreme leader is not a monster by not emptying out the prisons with pardons.
That's my analogy in a nutshell. The difference here is that the pardoning judge is off hiding in some bushes, not stopping in each prison cell explaining everything. All you have to go off of is some writings prison guards wrote thousands of years ago to inform you of this.
Again, it's no wonder this system produces such shitty pardon rates.
quote:Thank you for the clarification, but that's not theologically sound (we aren't souls created in Heaven or anywhere else, just waiting for our bodies). Even so, I answered your question anyway. That sounds more like Platonism.
My description modified creation to be describing our creation here on Earth, guilty of sin. Your spirit could be made in Heaven, and before it gets shoved into a body God could ask you if you really want to run the 98%/2% gauntlet.
quote:Again your presuppositions betray you. You are presupposing that we all have the ability to be saved (to save ourselves, essentially) and therefore God has the obligation to at least offer everyone the chance to be saved. We cannot save ourselves and even our faith is a gift from God, given out of mercy to save some from a punishment that they already deserve.
Yep and that's just another problem with your belief system.
You're created without your consent, already being guilty of sin despite not even taking your first breath, and must navigate this insane world, find the right ancient text, trust that it's true, and follow its instructions before you die.
It's almost as if he's trying to make the odds extremely small to get to Heaven.
Yes, the salvation rate is small on purpose. If God wanted it to be high, He could have done that. It's not a matter of odds, though, because that makes it seem like anyone could be saved as long as certain conditions were favorable for them. That's why I pointed out that even under the most ideal situations and conditions to be saved as described in the Bible, there were still many (most, actually) people who were not saved. It isn't a matter of intellectual assent, or evidence-based persuasion, but a moral issue based on our fallen nature and our desire to be gods over our own lives. It is the work of God alone that makes us willing and able to believe His promises of salvation, and since it is God's work in us, His work never fails, and therefore the salvation rate is purposefully low.

Several days later, Dr. Hunt contacted Pastor and told him that they needed to meet at Pastor’s church, FBC Woodstock, on Monday evening, August 2, 2010. Dr. Hunt met the couple there, accompanied by Roy Blankenship, a Counseling Pastor at FBC Woodstock. During the discussion, the Pastor learned for the first time that Dr. Hunt had sexually assaulted Survivor.
That is from the actual report (p152). Two glaring facts that are not up for debate. 1 - She went back to Panama City without her husband and booked a condo adjacent to the Hunts. 2 - She never told her husband about the alleged incident. The husband found out at a meeting called by Dr Hunt. How was that not her first phone call?
I'm not saying that Hunt is without blame here. What I am saying is that I don't see how this woman is a victim of anything.
Don't even get me started on Jennifer Lyell.

Spurgeon would rip SBC, romanists, 7th-day weirdos, mormons to shreds.
Today's "christians" are filth. I'm a believer, no waiver, no denomination....truth/love are equal, but HATE is ruling these days....hmmm

I read the report. That was her reason to get down there. Maybe Hunt is lying but he said he didn't know how she wound up in that condo.
There are definitely actual victims of abuse in this world. The woman went and met him on her own accord (without her husband). What kind of woman would not tell her husband about something like that? I just don't see it.
Jennifer Lyell carried on an affair with a man she knew was married for 12 years. She was 26 years old when it started, not 14. How is she not complicit at all?
I'm all for bringing full charges on anyone in the SBC that broke the law. But poor judgement by both parties is what allowed these two examples to occur.

Not trying to downplay the situation but I can’t think of a single instance that my wife would let another man be alone with her in a private room… be it church ppl, friends, family, etc.

Totally agree. But there's more to it than that.
By her own account she invited him to come over to her condo. What kind of intentions does a woman have that goes somewhere without her husband and invites a man over when she is alone?
I'm not talking about he said/she said or how either party claims those circumstances came about. Facts only.
quote:
He brought her a bottle of water. Survivor recalled Dr. Hunt shifting the conversation from ministry to flattery about her appearance, her clothing, and her perfume. Dr. Hunt remarked that he was hot from being in the sun, and Survivor said he could come sit in the shade on her balcony.

quote:No doubt. But it looks to me like the SBC is, rightly IMO, focusing on those who are/were in positions of leadership. Hunt held the highest office one can hold in the SBC. He was a mega church SBC pastor. He parlayed all that into the #2 position at NAMB.

Both may (or may not) be guilty in the eyes of God, but as leader in the highest echelon of the SBC, Hunt is rightly being held to a higher standard

Agree that condo was not by chance. She/he/both coordinated that. He also went out to the balcony and over to her condo when his wife was not around.
I'm right there with you. My problem is how there are some in the SBC using this issue as a vehicle to divide and conquer.
Also, he didn't ask for sex 3 times a day. Small difference but not exactly the same.

So, when are all the other religious denominations going to publish their lists? The SBC has.
More importantly…, when is CONGRESS going to make public their list of all the senators, congressmen , etc. guilty of this?

The correct thread title would have been: "Creepy ex-SBC president allegedly sexually assaulted pastor’s wife 26 years his junior, covered it up, then lied about it to the group tasked with finding out the truth. He also made lewd comments to her about her body and told her he'd like to have sex with her 3 times a day" but I couldn't get all that in the allotted space

Yep, I read that and immediately thought she was out of line. I’m not a “well if you’re dressed like that, you’re asking for it” but, come on.
“put her feet on his knee; he touched them while commenting on their beauty and size. At one point, he remarked that he was uncomfortable sitting outside because he didn’t want to be seen so he suggested that they go inside”
A loyal wife will never say “this man who’s rubbing my feet wants to come inside (so he isn’t seen), this is strictly platonic so it’s okay!”

You're pushing a point that I'm not arguing against. Yes, he is in the wrong even if her story is not true. He should not have gone over there when they were both alone even if he was invited.
All I'm saying is that she is not a victim. She put herself in that situation. She went to that condo without her husband. She invited him over. She never told her husband what happened. In her own story she stated Hunt was the one that stopped, she didn't say no. Her actions were not that of a victim.
What about the husband that not only let Hunt get away with assaulting his wife without consequence but stayed friends and corresponded with him? Hunt offered to step down but the husband told him not to.
Our tithe went supported a gay pride parade. Our tithe lined an adulteress's pockets.
But hey let's not let facts get in the way of a good emotional appeal because that really gets the simple ones fired up.

Her own story doesn’t support the charge of assault. He kept pushing the envelope and she kept giving him signals she was ok with until he went too far. It was obvious what was going on from the moment they were alone on their respective balconies. But she invited him into her condo and didn’t say no to his obvious advances. Then she didn’t tell her husband, and she stayed alone next door to Hunt for two more days at the beach. He is a creep who shouldn’t be in ministry anymore, but she is culpable as well. She felt guilty, and rightly so, so she claimed assault.

Hear, hear! It's a shame because stories like this detract from actual abuse.
Frank, you seem intelligent enough to understand there is a difference between saying you'd like to have something versus actually coming out and asking for it. A large part of this issue (including your "correct thread title") is an emotional appeal which loses legs when a healthy dose of logos is added. Don't intend to attack the messenger as there seems to be plenty of message to go at.
