And irghtly so. Gary's contributions to the NG have been a wonderful
counterweight to the reams of mindless Calvinist propaganda others post.

Then you really haven't been reading. I gave this a long time ago.

If men's minds were not poisoned by the false dogmas of Calvinism, it _would_ be
a simple thing. The first 4 centuries or so of Christianity DID find it "a
simple thing".

But because of the wide and deep prevalence of Calvinistic assumptions in modern
day society -- especially in modern day _American_ society, there is too much
undergrowth that has to be cleared before the good seed of the traditional
CHristian definition can be laid in the reader's mind and bear fruit.

good things. Hell is full of good people, only saved people can go to
heaven.

Romans 3:23 says, "For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God"
If all have sinned then there are no good people.

Romans 6:23 - "For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is
eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord."
