From: "Scott Berner" To: Subject: [WhoreOfRevelation_17] Augustine and Calvin: Bedfellows Indeed Date: Saturday, December 07, 2002 10:27 PM I am sending this file out to promote a great book by Dave Hunt. I really believe that everyone would greatly benefit from the truth contained in this book. I know Dave is wrong on the pre-trib rapture and he orientation to "eternal security" (basically Calvinist election.) I still say this is a good book to have in your library and to use to teach your kids, family, church, etc. It is NO WONDER that Dave's ministry is inundated with hate mail from Calvinists. It is such a horrible testimony to respond to the Biblical truth and historical testimony in that fashion. A person that is obstinate and stubborn is a person that does not have a heart for God. "Rebellion is as witchcraft and stubborness as idolatry." I attached chapter 4 of "WHAT LOVE IS THIS?" by Dave Hunt as a promotional piece. I won't send you another chapter. If you are blessed by the truth.....please go buy the book. Amen. There is much Calvinism on the internet today. There are many dear folks who have been horribly deceived. And I hope they look into this objectively and prayerfully before they try to chop the messengers head off. Amen. If man has no "freewill".....why does God ask for a FREEWILL OFFERING???? There are SIXTEEN references to FREEWILL OFFERING in the King James Bible. Ps 119:108 ¶ Accept, I beseech thee, the freewill offerings of my mouth, O LORD, and teach me thy judgments. There is ONE reference to a FREEWILL. Ezr 7:13 I make a decree, that all they of the people of Israel, and of his priests and Levites, in my realm, which are minded of their own freewill to go up to Jerusalem, go with thee. Calvinism is really the teaching of the great saint of Catholicism......AUGUSTINE. Yes, the very one who declared it righteous to murder those who disagree with his Whorish Mother Church. Calvin was a great fan of Augustine, as was Spurgeon. There are many Baptists today who laud over AUGUSTINE. This is a sure sign of their doctrinal corruption. Yes, Calvin was anticatholic, as was Spurgeon......but they though highly of at least some of the teachings of AUGUSTINE.....for it is AUGUSTINE who is the originator of the FIVE POINTS OF CALVINISM. Calvin "borrowed" these teachings from Augustine. There is a LOT more of this in Dave's book and LOADS OF DOCUMENTATION AND FOOTNOTES TO PROVE IT. Yours in Christ, Scott PS.....God is calling all of us to SMASH OUR IDOLS MADE BY THE HANDS AND MINDS OF MEN!!! Who will follow? Who will be saved?? ******************************** PSALMS 12:6-8 The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times.
