Calvinist Bears

Teddy bears that have messages in hearts are quite tacky. Let us be up front about that. But when you are a theological student that is walking through the aisles of Target and you see one that is promoting Calvinism you have to stop and look.

Last year Target stores booted out those annoying Starvation Army bell ringers; this year they are promoting Calvinism...is there a connection?
Don't worry readers, the tacky Calvinism bears were under $4 each. A small price to pay to promote your theological presumptions.

In the Millennium, will a majority of the children have chosen bears? We will just have to wait and see.

It was a literary device that played on the word store, but dropped the T to represent Target's place in society.....or I misspelled it.

Is it just me or do those bears have their noses in the air??? Typical calvinists with their chosen few mentality.The Great Heavenly Father has created some of his children to be damned to hell?Could this be why the church is heavy with "pretenders"? If God is finite then maybe I could swallow the concept.However since God is INFINITE the case remains open.Your children ARE BEAUTIFUL!!!
However God would like every child on the planet to know him as their Lord and Savior."Chosen" implies that God has done/is doing all the work.That way we can shop with our kids for their coordinated church outfits and not be concerned that we may be the only saved family on the block. Jesus Saves! Spread the Word!!!!!!At least you were gracious enough to use the word PRESUMPTIONS to describe your ideolog.Presumers and pretenders....Where are the believers???? Love Ya!!!

The post is a joke...settle down.

Plus presumption in the theological world means this:
noun:(law) an inference of the truth of a fact from other facts proved or admitted or judicially noticed.
Basically it means things that are known to be true.
