Huxley was a Humanist, i.e., an atheist. I have attended important lessons in the Reformed tradition what struck me the greatest is their dependence on the philosophies of men, including Atheists, to interpret their scriptures. Does not sound fully like the will of God to me? Please explain Despe.

Please stop demeaning the Mormons, Despe. It's ridiculous that people would be compared to goats and sheep. I am beginning to see Jeff's point. Just leave them alone until you have the time to study them. You don't understand them. They are not at all what you think they are.

Here is one dissenter from Calvinism I thought might interest you. http://www.auburn.edu/~allenkc/openhse/calvinism….

Indeed and what most arminian/pelagian crowd does not know is that Reformed Geneva sent thousands of missionaries all over the world even as far as Brazil in XVI century and that Reformed Church of Geneva planted 2050 Christian Churches in Roman Catholic France and in just in 10 years alone…

Indeed and in a very verse before, in 2 Peter 3:8 it says BELOVED which according to her would have to be anybody even the unbelievers which is a complete nonsense in the context of Peter's words.

But do not overlook this one fact, BELOVED, that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. The Lord is not slow to fulfill his promise as some count slowness, but is patient toward YOU, not wishing that ANY should perish, but that all should reach repentance. But the day of the Lord will come like a thief, and then the heavens will pass away with a roar, and the heavenly bodies will be burned up and dissolved, and the earth and the works that are done on it will be exposed.

(2 Peter 3:8-10 ESV)

ToHelenof Troy: ANY of who…His people, His elect…2Peter 3:9…Take a look at who this scripture was addressed to in 2Peter 1:1-4…you will see WHO the "ANY" …toward US-WORD, that ALL of US should come to repentance… I pray the Lord will OPEN your eyes to see the truth and the truth shall make YOU free!!!!

I was once asked a very simple question and I was just stumped as to how to answer it, according to scripture…"Are you born again because you believed or did you believe because you were born again?" Here is the scripture answer to this question…Romans 10:14-21… How then shall they call on Him in whom they have not believed and how shall they believe in Him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher? And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written "HOW BEAUTIFUL ARE THE FEET OF THEM THAT PREACH THE GOSPEL OF PEACE, AND BRING GLAD TIDINGS OF GOOD THINGS!" … This I learned from a Sovereign Grace Preacher!!! I had grown up in a Southern Baptist Church, my grandfather was a Southern Baptist Missionary with Primative Baptist roots, but I never really "got it" until I heard the Sovereign Grace Gospel…I was 22 years old and made my last rededication…and baptised with the true meaning of what it meant. Yes, Calvin IS MISSIONARY!!!!

That is just a confusion you place in front of yourself to excuse yourself from hard questions and truth.
Ultimately, you can only have free God or free man and in your system "god" is not free but bound by the
decisions of creatures.

No, I am not "god maker" like you and the rest of your Mormon cult. How your planet is going to be?
