That's interesting. Who would have thought that over 200 years ago, Edwards' congregation was watching television and having their birthdates translated into astrological nonsense by blogging software? Your insight into the history of Christendom is most profound.
I referred to the same TYPE of thing if you read it properly. 250 years ago the problem was theatre and playing cards, both claimed to be done out of ignorance. The theatre has been replaced by the TV, but the ignorance still abounds.
You call yourself a fighting Calvinist, and yet all the fighting I see you doing here is to hold on to or justify your sin. Calvin and Edwards would certainly not be amused, much less the Most High God.
Until I posted on this subject, everyone here could claim ignorance about the evils of TV, but now that some light at least has been shed on it, that can't be done. If after knowing this you still refuse to turn, as Edwards says "You join ranks with that group of people who knowingly rush into sin."
Or as the Bible says:
Quote
Heb 10:26-27 For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins, 27 But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries.
