I just found a really great site on Arminianism. If you ever wanted to read everything in the Bible that supports this view please check out the site!!!! <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/BigThumbUp.gif" alt="" />
Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified. - Galatians 2:16
With my own free will, I stayed up all night and speed read everything in there. Those silly Calvinists surely don't know what they're talking about. I think I'm going to burn my copies of Luther's "The Bondage of the Will" and Calvin's "Institutes". I will then spray all of my tulips with DDT. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/3stooges.gif" alt="" />

I hate to cause gloom upon your witticism that you've posted here but DDT (dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane) is an insecticide. Now if your trying to kill your tulips, and not just the insects that live on them, I suggest you use a herbicide that is engineered to kill all plant life. I hear Agent Orange is a good choice and the right color for protestants too.
Peter
If you believe what you like in the gospels, and reject what you don't like, it is not the gospel you believe, but yourself. Augustine of Hippo
I can't get away with anything on this website. It's no wonder that the crabgrass has taken over my lawn. It's also a good thing because the tulips aren't mine but my wife's. If you think my herbicide application expertise is bad, you ought to come see how I "fix" things around the house with my "free will".
P.S. If I ever meet you in person I'm going to ask you to spell "dichlorodiphenyltrichoroethane" without looking it up.
