Friday Frivolity: Messing with Calvinists

Leave a comment

Heaven

A Calvinist arrives at St. Peter’s gates and sees that there are two lines. One is marked “predestined” and the other is marked “Free will”. Being a card-carrying Calvinist that he is, he strolls on over to the predestined queue.

After several minutes, an angel asks him, “Why are you in this line?” He replies, “Because I chose it”.  The angel looked surprised, “Well, if you ‘chose’ it, shouldn’t you be in the ‘free will’ line?” Slightly miffed, the Calvinist obediently wanders over to the free will line.

Again, after a few minutes, another angel asks him, “Why are you in this line?”. He sullenly replied, “Someone made me come here”

Wise Words on Wednesday: Being Happy In Heaven

Heaven

No man can possibly be happy in a place where he is not in his element and where all around him is not congenial to his tastes, habits, and character.

When an eagle is happy in an iron cage, when a sheep is happy in the water, when an owl is happy in the blaze of noonday sun, when a fish is happy on the dry land – then, and not till then, will I admit that the unsanctified man could be happy in heaven

– JC Ryle, Holiness, 1879
