Now THAT'S entertainment! Very funny. We had better get to work on a 'hack' that translates Calvinist buzz words into Arminian expressions so they can slip under the radar of that app.

Discovering internet resources on Calvinism is how I became a Calvinist. So maybe they have something to worry about :-P

I was going to post on my blog an article on John KALVEN, but I was scared because of Net Finney. Perhaps my references to REEPHORMED theology would be filtered out. Then I thought about Charles SPURJHUN, but the same fears entered into my heart. But now I am free of fear thanks to "REEPORMED Phonics." Yes, REEPORMED Phonics has changed my life. I no longer have to avoid blogs or message boards because of Net Finney. I can now type the words ELECTSHUN, PREEDESTANASHUN and DEEPRAVATEE without fear of being found out. I can discuss EDWORDS in safety. Yes, thanks to "REEPHORMED Phonics" I don't have to hide in the closet anymore!

Now that's the funniest thing I've read all week!

I literally LOL'ed.

On a more serious note, I, too, would still be one very confused individual if not for the internet. It used to just kill me that I hadn't went through the whole 'altar call' thing. I can remember wondering if I really wasn't saved because I hadn't walked the aisle, and then I remember wondering why I couldn't find the altar call in Scripture.

Well, that may be the scariest thought I've ever had.......


By the way, thanks for the blog link. This guy's hilarious.

That is hillarious! I was brought up SBC but I'm from near Lynchburg VA a big haven for IFB churches. "Christian alternatives" were provided for everything from rock shows, to haunted houses, to breath mints.

This is the way I was exposed to the doctrines of grace as well, a google search and a healthy dose of Lorraine Boettner. If some in the SBC saw that link, they would recruit the best and brightest to actually make an app like that.

My husband was reforming, a patient PCA pastor was taking all my questions, then I found this place...hubby encouraged my participation because I had previously been kicking and screaming about a few points. So...yes, internet played a role. Nothing like asking a question and being given a bunch of articles to read...I'm not complaining, I learned alot (and still am learning all the time).

www.monergism.com and Phil Johnson's site made me a Calvinist to be more specific. Sadly, I think my parents probably would have put something like this on if they'd thought about the possiblity of me discovering Calvinism, given how much they despise it.
