A Question for the Calvinist

I don't think you were being mocked. I think he was just playing with words. It was funny to me, but not intended against you, as far as I can tell.

Nobody thinks quite the same as anyone else. I see that some people appreciate the distinction of passive vs active obedience as necessary, and some see it as confusing. I see it as unnecessary, and even somewhat misleading. But its ok with me if someone else needs it. It is not cardinal. But when @prism 's answer was demonstrative of how it can be confusing, I thought it was funny.
Thanks, I couldn't have explained it better.

I'm glad someone understood it.

Laughing never crossed my mind. I take most of what people post seriously unless it's obviously a 'funny'.

As I said it's fine. It helps that I don't understand what on earth transpired.

But no matter as I said it's fine. We can move past it now and let the thread continue.

You can continue on with speaking to those who you respect in these matters. Prayerfully @Ladodgers6 can respond.

God bless you.
 
Obedient in a passive way - "He opened not His mouth". (Isaiah 53:7; Acts 8;32; Genesis 22:8)
Amen! The Suffering Servant is most prominently depicted in Isaiah 52:13-53:12. This passage, often referred to as the "Suffering Servant Song," details the servant's humiliation, suffering, and eventual exaltation.
