@not_our_guy@JoelWBerry Corey calls Hitler a martyr
Truly he was: Hitler was killed by a despicable man simply because of the natural outworking of the things he believed in
@SchizoWars The clearest, most consistent, and most definitive document that lays out calvinisms views regarding salvation is the canons of Dort. If you haven't read it before, I would encourage you to give it a try! I would say it's pretty clear
Maldito aquel que riendo se mofa del Arte,
el centro del alma humana,
Hogar del corazón, dulzura a mi boca:
allí mi vida, en un libro a la mano!
La paz de Octavio y Nervo amado,
Coraje de Quijote y Borges el celebrado.
Cursed be he who speaks in jest,
and Art- the soul of Man- maligns!
Where lies my soul? And where life's best?
in dust-clad books enduring gold I find:
Upon Achilles' shield, and in Campaspe's eyne,
With Beatrice, and John Donne's loves divine.
Cursed be he who speaks in jest,
and Art- the soul of Man- maligns!
Where lies my soul? And where life's best?
in dust-clad books enduring gold I find:
Upon Achilles' shield, and in Campaspe's eyne,
With Beatrice, and John Donne's loves divine.
@OzMarquezz I don't know that I have read enough of Baxter to say one way or the other.
What I DO know regarding the presented image, however, is enough to say that it is not Calvinist nor Reformed. (CoD, I.R.3, 5)
@DeoVindiceXIV@GrayDoorr If I can encourage you, friend, Paul says that "there is no sin but that which is common among men."
Take heart- the struggles you have are not new to God; indeed, we have a high priest who is able to sympathize with us, being tempted in all respects as we were, yet without sin
"Why are you cast down, O my soul,
and why are you in turmoil within me?
Hope in God; for I shall again praise him,
my salvation and my God.
My soul is cast down within me;
therefore I remember you
from the land of Jordan and of Hermon,
from Mount Mizar."
(Psalm 42:5-7)
