Calvinists Do Not Hold To Open Theism

[JonC]

Sir, please stop with these posts. You say nothing happens by chance as everything is predestined. That view is in my opinion quite unbiblical.

There is no point in discuss further, as both believe they are right.

Sir,

I can have no comment about how you live your life as that is none of my business, but please do not lie about me, or anybody else on this board.

This is a Christian board and members are expected to not only profess a belief in Christ but also to post in a Christian manner. Others who do not know Christ could happen by and if we tolerate outright lies on this board we risk damaging our witness.

You can't end a discussion with a lie abd expect that to be the end of the discussion. But that seems to be what you are trying to do by lying about what I actually said. I believe you are a Christian, but that does not mean I expect us to agree on everything. That does, however, mean I expect you to be more honest and have more integrity than you are exhibiting here. I expect disagreements between believers, but not lies.


In case anybody missed the previous posts - what I REALLY said was that things happen by chance but God knows even the outcome of these events.

" I have no comment about how you live your life...."
"You can't end a discussion with a lie and expect that to be the end of the discussion"
"If God is omniscient then everything is predestined to occur as God knows it will occur."
"....things happen by chance but God knows even the outcome of these events."

Van's "lie," "you say nothing happens by chance as everything is predestined."

Nuff said.

So what has happened historically by sheer luck and chance then?

God is actually as free as men when it comes to the will (the argument is man's will corresponds to man's nature....BUT throughout Scripture this is said of God).

God cannot be "forced" into making any decision, but God can 'force" others to have His will get done

Does this poster claim a choice with only one outcome is a choice or a non-choice. Does this poster claim an event that happens by chance was predestined or not predestined.
