The 'no true scotsman' is NOT a real fallacy; it was invented by Antony Flew when he was still an atheist (he's a deist now, by the way) and quite possibly for the purpose of responding to the very form of statement I made to you. It's not a real fallacy; it's an inane atheist pseudo-fallacy to evade the issue.

Actually, SeenAndNotSeen, in this particular instance of my being posted on FSTDT, another Christian on YouTube told me that he saw the other post you made of mine, and after about 2 seconds of research I came across this other one. Like I said, I encourage anyone reading this to head right on over to YouTube and read our entire conversation, because therein they will see that I use reason and civility, and you reveal yourself to be another bitter backslider angry after having not had all of his whimsical expectations about Christianity fulfilled.

And Tektonics.org is not my website; it's J.P. Holding's famous apologetics website. If you're going to be a fundy atheist on the internet, SeenAndNotSeen, you HAVE to be familiar with J.P. Holding's apologetics; he's the man fundy atheists love to hate. I suggest you head on over there forthwith.

As to Calvinism, it seems you don't grasp what the system of doctrine actually teaches, and I'm certainly not anywhere near Fred Phelps and his loony clan.
Did I not preach the Gospel to you? Jesus told us to proclaim the Gospel to all creation (Mark 16:15). I have a genuine desire for you to be saved, SeenAndNotSeen. Biblical Calvinism does not teach that God forced you to sin, nor that He is sending you to Hell arbitrarily. It is the teaching that God chooses to save some sinners and not others. If you go to Hell, it's an act of God's justice. He doesn't owe you anything but wrath.

But in any case, if coming on here and laughing like a bunch of hyeneas makes you guys feel vindicated in your unbelief, be my guest; you're just scoring me some more treasures in Heaven. Cha-ching, baby!

Yes, pride is a sin, and ALL sin is deadly.

The soul who sins shall die. ... (Ezekiel 18:20, ESV)

I'm a sinner. I deserve Hell. But no, you won't be seeing me there, agentCDE, because unlike you I am blood-bought and my sins are paid for. In any case, my 'treasures in Heaven' comment was not prideful whatsoever. It's based on an imperative from Christ Himself:

“Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal, but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. (Matthew 6:19-20, ESV)

I'm saved by grace, and I serve by grace; in that, God is glorified and His people filled with joy. And in fact, it's you guys doing the work for me. I just have to sit back and take it in. But hey, as much as I appreciate all the benefits I get from your attacks, you're not helping yourselves out too much, because according to Jesus:

And the King will answer them, Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brothers, you did it to me.’ (Matthew 25:40, ESV)

Matthew 6

6:1 Take heed that ye do not your alms before men, to be seen of them: otherwise ye have no reward of your Father which is in heaven.

6:2 Therefore when thou doest thine alms, do not sound a trumpet before thee, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may have glory of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.

6:3 But when thou doest alms, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth:

6:4 That thine alms may be in secret: and thy Father which seeth in secret himself shall reward thee openly.

6:5 And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.

6:6 But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.

...I'm sorry, were you saying something, oh holy braggart?
