Is Calvinism a form of Gnostic Christianity?

No one has said God is evil Faith; what they have said is that the God you try to market and you claim to worship really is evil, vile and only deserves condemnation, ridicule and contempt.

That's one of the great things about scripture Faith. It is so filled with contradictions and false information that you can support just about any position by quote mining scripture.That does not change the fact that the God you try to market is evil and deserves nothing but ridicule as contempt.

Faith, you do understand that many here have actually read the Bible and so can honestly report on what is actually written, including all of the contradiction, factual errors and failed prophecies.The fact that you know there are no errors is just another example of you being totally out of touch with reality.Now if you change that to "That's also the task where people find contradictions within scripture because we believe it's God's word and therefore there aren't any." then even though folk will know you are simply wrong they will accept that it is your belief.Edited by jar, : hear ----> here

19 And of every living thing of all flesh, two of every sort shalt thou bring into the ark, to keep them alive with thee; they shall be male and female.

20 Of fowls after their kind, and of cattle after their kind, of every creeping thing of the earth after his kind, two of every sort shall come unto thee, to keep them alive.

2 Of every clean beast thou shalt take to thee by sevens, the male and his female: and of beasts that are not clean by two, the male and his female.

​

3 Of fowls also of the air by sevens, the male and the female; to keep seed alive upon the face of all the earth.

Faith, which of those two passages is inerrant?Are two and seven the same number?Which number is correct?Edited by jar, : appalin spallin

Faith, people are capable of actually reading what was written.

Are two fowls and seven fowls the same thing?Which one is inerrant Faith?AbE: More Faith New Speak.Too funny Faith, I am not the one who constantly misrepresents what is written in the Bible stories. I don't trash the Bible rather I honor what was actually written.Edited by jar, : see AbE:

Is that so Phat, or do they ask how some determines there is a relationship with God?

But of course there is scriptural support for such a capricious evil God. A classic example from the Bible is the Exodus myth and fable. The God character says "Let my people go" and the Pharaoh character says "Fine, I'll let them go". But the God character hardens Pharaoh's heart and makes him change his position so the God character sends a plague or kills all the first born or says "Who's up for gigin'?"That's what's so great about the Bible; you can support even the vile evil God Calvin marketed using scripture.Edited by jar, : fix sub-title

Bullshit Faith.You are just like Ilya, the Greek prostitute telling Oedipus. You claim that you read the Bible but you don't. Instead you just make shit up and twist what is actually written to fit your fantasies.Pharaoh is most certainly acting according to his own character and motives until the God character steps in and "hardens" his heart.The God character in the story is just trying to show who has the biggest dick.

Read the Bible Faith and you will find that nothing in that assertion of yours is true.Neither Adam or Eve died spiritually or lost contact with God.You gotta stop making shit up and misrepresenting what the Bible says.

Sorry Faith but none of that is in the stories found in Genesis 2&3 or even 4.Stop reading what the Carny Barkers tell you and actually read what is in the Bible Stories.

It's easy when take two fowl and take seven fowl are the same thing.

There is your problem Faith, and it is a nearly universal error in how you learn. Stop listening to sermons, reading the apologists or what people think. To learn about Calvinism read what Calvin actually wrote.To learn what the Bible says don't listen to sermons or read apologists, read what the Bible actually says, not what you know it really says but rather what is actually written.To know what Tacitus or Josephus said, don't believe the sermons or the apologist, read what Josephus and Tacitus actually wrote.Throw the sermons away.Throw the apologists away.

Yet I post the actual passages for all to read instead of links to some sermon.Make the case if you can Faith but to learn you need to begin with the actual content and then test whatever you hear from so called pastors against what is actually written.

So what John Calvin wrote is wrong and not Calvinism.Got it.Kinda like what is actually written in the Bible is not what the Bible says.Got it.

And that is simply another example of the problem. You seem to accept what they say Calvinism is instead of checking what they say against what Calvin actually said.You do the same thing with the Bible, you do not test what the sermons you listen to say against what the Bible actually says.A great example was your claim that Revelation says that the serpent in Genesis 2&3 was Satan when that is not was Revelation actually says.
