The Occult, Demons, and Free-Will

I wasn't looking for this and usually don't watch videos like this, but it was in a list of suggested videos and caught my interest.  And since it's Halloween, I thought it was worth sharing on my other blogs, especially because she's so real, honest, humble, and matter-of-fact about it.  (I don't like overly sensationalized stories.  And FYI: I haven't watched any other videos of hers but these.) "Halloween warning from an ex-witch (warning heavy talk)"  (26 minutes long) And even better is her testimony about coming to Jesus Christ as her Lord and Savior:  "From the occult to Christ"  (8 1/2 minutes long).  So awesome to see her testimony and her journey of faith!   But what really caught my attention - what made me think to also share this video on my anti-Calvinism blog - is when she said that during a Reiki session, some witches told her that they saw her spirit guides and that the spirit guides want to "help align your chakra about...

The Bible vs. Calvinism: An Overview by Patrick Myers (a great resource)

A friend of mine recently sent me a link to an article that she says is one of the best overviews of Calvinism and its errors that she's read.  And after reading it, I agree.  I think it's a great one to share with others because it's got all the basics in one place: The Bible vs. Calvinism: An Overview by Patrick Myers There are some great rebuttals to Calvinist proof-texts in here, and some eye-opening quotes from Calvinists.  Something like this might help Calvinists understand what their theology really teaches and what the Bible really  teaches - and that these aren't saying the same thing.   FYI: If you click on the "about/contact" link at the bottom of the article, you can send him an email to request a PDF copy of his article.   And after I contacted him by email to tell him how much I appreciated his article, he graciously put a link to my blog at the bottom.  Thank you, Patrick, that was very kind of you. 😊
