The problem with the Calvinist view is the dark side: reprobation, and it is to this that this post is speaking to. While it is true that I do not use Calvinist terminology or emphasis, I can assure you that I am accurately describing the world view.Jc_Freak:https://www.blogger.com/profile/14780031497091443526noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5021346565171482910.post-15578832613300409082012-07-25T22:56:50.533-04:002012-07-25T22:56:50.533-04:00"So he individually causes each kid to be eit..."So he individually causes each kid to be either naughty or nice." <br /><br />No, God gives evil men who have no interest in God life.

However, you know some little elves are going to balk heavily over this: "So he individually <em>causes</em> each kid to be either naughty or nice." <br /><br />Some little elves will insist that Santa never actually <em>causes</em> the little children to misbehave; only that he has decreed that they misbehave. You have to play the elves' word games according to their rules ; )<br /><br /><em>Ok, clearly you haven't read enough A. W. Magenta yourself. Maybe I can recommend a few more contemporary books. For instance, maybe Desiring St. Nick by John Flutist, or In the Toymaker's Hands by James Mutherovpirl.</em><br /><br />I think it was here that I ruptured my spleen! Funny stuff, man! <br /><br /><em>Besides, why is justice even an important concept if he can just make all children be nice?</em><br /><br />And this is the point where Santa began to lose his luster.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
