This is something that Mr. Boyd posted a long time ago. I liked it so much that I memorized it. Though it's not a tongue twister, per se....
"God's choice to choose the chosen was a choice chosen before the chosen could choose to choose their choice because they were chosen before they ever made a choice to choose."
Mr. Boyd: I don't remember. I just know that I wrote it down and said it while brushing my teeth. :D I spent several late nights going through the archives when I was new to CC.
"All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out." John 6:37
This must qualify as a tongue twister because I know some who stumble all over this phrase and are unable to utter it. Try it yourself. If you can read it out loud, you are a Calvinist; if not you are probably Arminian. I heard a pastor preaching in John 5 and he just skipped over all the hard verses as though they didn’t even exist.
