    This was a poorly laid out parody of a “unregenerate anti- Calvinist” railing against Calvinism. First, none of us here by any means would trivilize Christs death and espouse Universalism- which is alluded here that ALL those who are against Calvinism do. These are assumptions at best and frankly outright lies. Ummm…..and yes I am one of those lost souls that “despises” doctrine and a heathen for having church in my home. What a boatload of manure that comes out of the religion of man.

    Paul should I be worried about someone knocking at my door about right now?

      T4H, “Paul should I be worried about someone knocking at my door about right now?” I know you’re kidding, but I will say this: in the Acknowledgements of my first book, I only used first names for a reason. I truly feared that association with me could cause them problems. I am going to ask if I can use their full names in the second volume. However, one of the persons who contributed to the book never uses their real name on the internet. paul

    Ladies and Gentlemen,

    A neo-Calvininst in good standing.

    Well…I asked my counter argument if it wanted to respond, but it told me it had better things to do.

    Like napping.

    Hi Paul,

    Not really. Not on any of his 26 finely-pointed fangs.

    Ha, ha…Paul, you got what I got. I thought that when the kid started ranting about taking your brain out because you don’t need it…shoot, I thought that was the point he stopped being facetious. It took me a while before I was like, “Oh, wait…he’s still in character!” LOL!

    Oh…the irony of this is just SOOOOOO delicious. After minute 21 he’s just preaching another Calvinist sermon! LOL

      Argo, I was compelled to respond because believe or not, Johnny C followers think that video is the cat’s pajamas.

    Hi Paul,

    Yes, in all seriousness, I am glad you did respond to this vid. As a former Calvinista myself, I can totally understand how they would think that this was just so very biting and clever. Your comments about church membership were really good, in particular.

    And by the way, I meant to say 28 teeth. Yes, yes…I knooooooow we have have 28 teeth.

    I realized this after I counted my own…er, a few minutes after I posted 26. [sigh]

    Well Paul if really…… cats could have pajamas? Now seriously……

    Do we have 28 teeth?…good to know- Does that include “wisdom” teeth?

    I thought this was a more serious and thoughtful blog ……
    Oh yes, seriously I do appreciate the light humor in these cases of insane and ridiculous “doctrinal” discrepancies on the part of Calvinistas.

      OK gang, would love to hang out longer and talk about teeth, cats, and pajamas, but I just got called on the carpet by Susan about some “priorities” that I have neglected; ie, the conference video and other things. Will catch up to you later,

      V–peace in the middle-east,

      paul
