Nasty? Really?

Visitor to Monergism.com: You are a nasty spirited site to have a topic labeled “bad theology”. Who made you God?

John Hendryx’s response: Perhaps you fail to see the irony in your email. You yourself are making a distinction yet declare that others cannot make distinctions. You have determined that we are wrong and are promoting something that is bad theology YET you declare that labeling something wrong or bad theology is mean-spirited. Are you not doing the VERY thing you claim to despise? Your entire declaration, therefore, rests on an impossible contradiction. Isn’t this the very definition of hypocrisy? Lesson I hope you will take from this: It is impossible to live and communicate without making distinctions.

“No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draw him…” is in verse 44.

However, including a new heart to believe. He makes certain that those whom he sets affections on will be saved.
