no wonder this pretentious shitshow of a board is in the state it's in.

I knew one guy who was a Calvinist and I wasn't too huge a fan of him and that sort of turned me away from Calvin.
I'll admit I am Catholic and not a huge fan of Luther but I want to give Protestants their far shake. Is Calvin any good?

There's no reason for this

How is it similar at all?
One is saying we are transformed through grace that we freely accept and the other is natural selection.

>empiricism through structuralism
You'll have to give evidence of the Catholics doing this and that it is even conceptually possible. Empiricism relies on sense experience which scripture and it's adherence is not.

The two next claims are trying to say that medieval theism is the same as Naturalism or at least that spirits don't exist in Catholic worldview. Which doesn't make sense given the support of it down the ages in the west from the fall of the Roman empire to the reformation is exclusively Catholic.

The fourth point I don't even understand. You'll have to explain.

We have been talking about the Leipzig Debate with Eck. You're quoting the Diet of Worms.

What do you mean? Through works we perfect our faith and through faith we accept grace. How is this so hard? Do you wish to deny that it is God who is at work in you, BOTH to will and to work for righteousness?

>And a new one will get in it's place. This is the nature of generals

This is blatantly untrue. You have no idea for what reason the OP decided to make another thread two days later.

Proof: we haven't had a poetry general in months. We haven't had a Dan Simmons General in a long time either, as with many many others.

>And regularly very bad discussion. And regularly very good OR bad non-literature discussion.

No, vast majority is good discussion and literature discussion or philosophical/theological discussion, within the rules of /lit/ as shown in the sticky.

Now thread policing damages discussion and is shitposting. Please do yourself a favor and cease. Report if you wish.
