Which is why I specifically said "I didn't look at the context but ...".
I found this interesting quote recently: "(people) talk much about God's love, but not His wrath and holiness; much of how deprived of good things people are, but not about their depravity; much about that God wants to give us, but nothing about the necessity of obedience to Him; much about health and happiness, but nothing about holiness and sacrifice".
Which made the comparison pointless.
That's not the case on this forum.I found this interesting quote recently: "(people) talk much about God's love, but not His wrath and holiness; much of how deprived of good things people are, but not about their depravity; much about that God wants to give us, but nothing about the necessity of obedience to Him; much about health and happiness, but nothing about holiness and sacrifice".
Did the apostle John tell you he wrote his gospel for mature Christians ....did he tell Calvinists
What about the many churches who give the gospel of John to new believers after they make a confession of faith or the many that have read John and come to faith
Calvinism twists the pure love of God into a humanistic love based on man made doctrine
