Was John Calvin Irish?
Traditionally most people agree there are FIVE points of Calvinism…
1. TOTAL DEPRAVITY
2. UNCONDITIONAL ELECTION
3. LIMITED ATONEMENT
4. IRRESISTIBLE GRACE
5. PERSEVERANCE OF THE SAINTS
So what gives with this…?
So how many points of Calvinism are they anyhow?
What in the world is a corned beef point?

I’ll take five of those there Calvinist points…
I don’t know what a corned beef point is; but if they cost $179 per pound, I can’t afford five of them. (or even one, unless it is mighty small).
@quest4god@revelife -
Actually Piper’s a 7 point Calvinist…No kidding…(I think the additional 2 follow logically, but granted, they are controversial. I know that many, many Calvinists don’t hold to those additional 2 points, or, for that matter even hold to the 5…). And we know that you can be saved and not hold to any of the points…I was saved for years but was only a one-pointer (perseverance of the saints).
Yeah, $ 179/lb…Actually that’s $ 1.79! (I ended up getting a couple steaks there for much, much less than $ 179 but for a little more than $ 1.79. I broke out the grill a few nights ago. Yum!)
@deerlife - I’m feeling a little dense right now…do I know about the other two points?
This weather has got me into the mood for grilling out. I just need someone to come back home for me to cook for. There is a fire ring down by the pond. I used to know a few things about campfire cooking too.
@quest4god@revelife - No, you don’t know about the other 2, though I think we may have discussed them at one time, but not called them as such.
*sigh* re: your not having Peggy there to cook for. Continuing to pray for her, bro.
