      RC Sproul was a Calvinist who also believed in the false Amillenialism doctrine.

    The Dash Poem
    I read of a man who stood to speak
    At the funeral of a friend.
    He referred to the dates on her tombstone
    From the beginning to the end.
    He noted that first came the date of her birth
    And spoke of the following date with tears,
    But he said what mattered most of all
    Was the dash between those years.
    For that dash represents all the time
    That she spent alive on earth
    And now only those who loved her
    Know what that little line is worth.
    For it matters not, how much we own,
    The cars, the house, the cash,
    What matters is how we live and love
    And how we spend our dash.
    So think about this long and hard;
    Are there things you’d like to change?
    For you never know how much time is left
    That can still be rearranged.
    If we could just slow down enough
    To consider what’s true and real
    And always try to understand
    The way other people feel.
    And be less quick to anger
    And show appreciation more
    And love the people in our lives
    Like we’ve never loved before.
    If we treat each other with respect
    And more often wear a smile,
    Remembering that this special dash
    Might only last a little while.
    So when your eulogy is being read
    With your life’s actions to rehash
    Would you be proud of the things they say
    About how you spent your dash?

    I do not agree with this preaching. Even if all were truth everything is unnecessary, and even if there were joyful eternity I am not interested in it if the price for it is a single slaughter of an innocent cat. I have no problem with not existing but I have problem with eternal hell because it is unimaginable monstrous.

      @@bigcirkus306 No "the Boss" wont just forgive everything, the issue lies in the heart, as it said, if anyone abides in Christ he will produce fruit of the spirit and is a new creature, the old is passing away, and any branch not producing fruit will be cut down and burned. You dont get a free pass to sin whenever you want as Paul teaches, the repentant sinner is warned that he wont always find a place for repentance like Esau. Each time we sin we push God away, and whether He comes back or not isnt up to us, but His sovereign decision to grant repentance, and thats why we must seek it and not abuse it, our book may be closed at any moment

      @@bigcirkus306 The theory of it being on the heart isnt as much a theory as its what the scriptures say, specifically what Paul says when he writes "If anyone be in Christ he is a new creature" and when Jesus said, "If you love me you will keep my commandments". And so the evidence that someone is saved or at least being worked on is that they are new in how their relationship is with His commandments, and they produce fruit of the spirit. And so with these verses off of what I can at least remember by themselves, they seem to point to only a work of God in someone to change them in this way, and in Phillipians Paul writes: "Being confident of this very thing, that He who hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the Day of Jesus Christ." Seems to say that if anyone has had an actual work of God in them that He will finish it, but when it comes to someone abusing that grace it would seem that they never truly had Gods work, but a temporary one in themselves
