Before I get on with the main part of this blag, because over recent months I have changed my habit online as far as blaggng and a few other things go, I am stating so as not to bring dishnour to God.

When I was in regular fellowship which on Lord Days' up until September, I had started to be blagless altogether on the LD. And yet, I felt once housebound since September, that to continue in that vein was rather legalistically minded, and since I am alone here, LD or any other day as far as Christian fellowship goes, it is not stretching the point to say that online activity is for the very greater part, my sole way of being able to be in assembly of the saints. Particuarly during the long nite time hours of a Saturday nite/Sunday morning, which are generally sleepless. I do of course, still devote the day to the One that matters. But to cut oneself off entirely when sick and alone too, is I feel more than God would require of me, when I see the negative impact both emotionally and spiritually that doing so can lead me. I don't think its sinful to blog on the Lord's Day, I have however been heard to say over and over again that this Day is the for the Lord, and I still hold to that, but its easy to be taken out of context and in the process cause someone else to stumble. As there's nothing much like hypocrisy for doing so. Okay, that's the one and only time disclaimer over.

Is the Faith of Arminianism Saving Faith?

But I was reading on another Calvinist site a short while ago, how those who are most against Calvinism and the teachings of John Calvin are normally the ones who have never read anything he had to say. And in my (somewhat limited) experience this is also the case. For anyone who is under the mistaken impression that Calvinism is the doctrine of John Calvin and not that of God as revealed in the Scriptures, then please Click Here: where in a previous blag the term Calvinism was gone into at length. I often have friendly yet also ground breaking discussions with an Arminian friend. They think me fundamental, and not able to enjoy God, because I believe that God doesn't give us His commandments to only choose the ones we want to keep, but that the whole word of God is to be our life and rule of faith and practice. And being aware they had never read of any Calvin, I lent them my hardback copy a good 18 months ago of Calvin's Considering the Eternal Predestination of God and they've not yet read it. As the main factor they are so against, is that God can predestine some to Glory, and others to eternal destruction. What often seems to be lacking in the Arminain worldview is that as well as a God of mercy, He is also a God of Justice and a God of wrath. Which is likely why they think my God is a God I can have no joy in, because its not just the good bits and pleasing to men bits many of us try to follow. My main problem with Arminianism, is how they detract from the Glory of God. As God tells us that nothing is more precious to Him than His glory. Psalm 4:2 Isa 42:8
