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. Quote: |

| Well, that may be the scariest thought I've ever had.......
By the way, thanks for the blog link. This guy's hilarious.

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).
