Bro., get away from man's writings. You refer us to books, pigeon-hole beliefs with some movement you are aware of, and do not seem to go directly to God and the Bible for these things. That is why people will reject anything they do not already agree with, since there is no concept of letting the Lord lead a person. They stand on the vein of theology they were taught and never divert away from it due to some sort of loyalty issue, not realizing God wants to lead us by His Spirit into the Word to better understand it just as the Word was first inspired by that same Spirit!
Why ask WHOSE BOOKS do we read? Are you saying you get all your beliefs from men's books? Phew! Is there no room for the Spirit leading one's personal studies? If we disagree with your theology does that mean we must have read a bad book?

yeah... uh huh. Sure we can study the Bible for itself as we both advocate. Yet I am sorry but I do not see what you said as the total case. You use terminology and many different aspects that simply does not make that the case. Also when reading the Bible to say it does not have theological infuence in it totally misses translation issues among a few things. Mike we are all influnced principle reasoning on different levels and argumentation. To say you are not influenced as much as you debate by others book or not is laughable. Also to uderstand the Bible to it's depth and context takes a lot of work and aid of sources to get alleged backgound.
Mike again who in you years have you studied from a apologetic standpoint directly on this issue. I like sources as I read both sides of the argument. Also many other studies give side or indirect impressions of thought to it whether you want to acknowlege it or not.
Whether you agree with reformed on everything or not is not the issue. I am talking about a specific s of issues. Well gotta go. Oh and by the way the thing you disagreed on is what w agree on in many aspects.
