They're everywhere
Heard Saturday as a group of Southern Baptists, including president Bobby Welch, head out to evangelize: "Give'em heaven!"

Darn. None of them found me. I would have had a good time playing with them... was sort of looking forward to it. Oh well. Maybe the JW's will come knocking at my door evenntually.

Eric, you could join me at the Coliseum over the next few days. A simple sign with a simple message can be louder than any of those choppers!
Shalom

Yeah I could, but I rather think my evenings could be better spent than in holding a sign that I expect to be ignored. Messing with their minds on a personal level by pointing out things in their Bibles that they have ignored for years or even decades... now THAT would be fun.

I am very interested to hear how the Calvinist debate goes. Wouldn't one think it was cruel to go about avengelizing people (family and friends, even?) who turn out to either A) already have been one of the "preordained", thus not requiring any help (especially if the evangelizer turns out to be among the "doomed", unbeknownst to him or herself?); or B) be among those destined for hell, anyway, no matter whether they profess Christ or not?
Perhaps I am getting this wrong: does Calvin allow for those who accept Jesus who are not "preordained" to be saved? Most Protestants, I believe, seem to say that anyone who accepts--- even the most nasty murderer--- as long as that person has honestly professed/renewed their faith--- even if it is only at the final breath as he or she is dying at the last moment--- salvation is promised.

You've seen it said here many times, Freddy. Us humans have no say in what God decides, no right to complain about percived injustices, etc. That's the line that Calvin took, IIRC.
Funny how we're told humans can't judge God, yet the same folks who say this will unhesitatingly say that God is good -- which is a judgement itself.

The sheer absurdity is mind-boggling.
A droll and eminently satisfying remedy might be to stage a production of Waiting for Godot this week, or at least a reading (except the stage business is more than half the fun).
I directed and was Hamm in Endgame several years ago and used Greensboro Dept of Transportation trash cans to "house" Nell and Nagg.
Seems we're always waiting for G-DOT.
