Why do Arminians have such a small view of God?

Oh, then you believe Adam had no choice, God made Adam sin. ok.

 

Nope, you know exactly what i believe for we have had many discussions. You making this up does nothing for your cause. You would have to provide my post where i say such a thing. Otherwise you are just erecting a straw man to waste my time.

 

The post was not about Adam, it was about blindness. Keep up with your own responses. lol.

 

Man does have a will. However, it is enslaved to sin and self.[Matthew 6:24, Romans 6:6 & Romans 6:16]

 

God's will and Adam's choice met in the Garden.

God's will and man's will met in the garden at Gethsamane and fulfilled at Calvary.

 

Category error.

You assume only one or the other, either Adam had free will or God made Him, that's all you see, and the reason is because you don't study the bible, there is a third category.

God created Adam blameless, and if He desired that he not sin, all He had to do was to make no law, no law no transgression, but He did create a law. Likewise God did not have to allow Satan in the garden, but He did.

God made a law, Satan tempted Adam, Adam sinned. Here we see Satan sin, Adam sin, yet God pure and is not the author of the sin, understand?

I wish, I guess in the wind, that people would actually study before giving these crazy analogies, "God didn't want robots", right, what's the point? "He didn't want puppets", it's so amateur, just shows no study, which is fine, but don't make posts on a Christian forum where you can deceive a brother. Go study, learn Reformed theology, that is men trying to Reform the Roman Church, there is two camps, the Roman camp which includes Arminiism, and Reformed, no middle ground. Arminiism is SO CLOSE TO ROME it's remarkable, take away the merits of the saints, take away category sins, take away the Lords supper and you have Arminiism.

Never forget, WE ARE STILL AT WAR, STILL PROTESTING, it hasn't stopped, the Jesuits are still trying counter-Reformation to this day! People this is NO GAME, please for YOUR OWN SAKE, don't blaspheme God, have the sense to step back, spend a year studying Reformed Theology, Wycliffe, Huff, Luther, Calvin, Knox, they all believed the same, some died, some lived, we celebrate Luther and Calvin, but Huff and Wycliffe died in the cause, the Pope has incredible power, more than any King, and it still continues. As close as Vatican 2, they reassured that the Pope can alter Scripture, the Pope's teachings are more powerful than God Himself (If you think I'm exaggerating read it yourself). We Reformed maintain the Pope Anti-Christ, not the fictional super being that is supposed to come, but 1 John "Anti-Christ", "A" Anti-Christ, just read the Reformers.

The problem is that when the common man had scripture, to the great disgust of the Roman Church, man found out that they were saved by Faith Alone, Rome battled this in so many ways I don't have place to write, but it continues.

The Jesuits are responsible for our new liberal "faith". Reformed Theology WAS Protestant Theology from Luther to the late 1800's, sure there were cults, pockets of Arminism, Weslyism took hold in the 19th century, that combined with German "HIgher Criticism" has brought us to where we are today, man, believing Scripture to not be accurate, stopped believing every word, hence we got Arminism mainstream, liberalism always wins the day eventually, just look at our politics. Today Reformed, though on the rise, is minority, we live in a post biblical/pagan age, one where fallen man uses his reason to form biblical theology, that's called paganism, it's heresy and nothing short of HERESY.

 

Despite me being an ignorant, ranting, moron who is not worthy to converse with you; Calvinism still has some major problems. Some of the most learned Calvinists I know will readily admit these problems. They are obviously mindless morons like me. The problem of Adam is an issue that Calvinism does not successfully deal with. Likewise you did not successfully deal with it either. Adams sin was either an action of his moral agency or he was merely an unwilling player acting out the script of his life. Your "third" choice is nothing but a lengthy distraction. If Adam had no ability to freely choose, the law and Satan are totally meaningless to his story. A law is irrelevant if you have no free will to decide whether or not to follow or break it. A temptor is meaningless if acting on thetemptation is not a decision you have the ability to make.

You can either respond in a meaningful way or again simply tell me I am too ignorant and unlearned to engage in a discussion with a person as learned and enlightened as yourself.

 

So Calvinist believe Jesus Christ does not have free will.

Cause if he did then he is not human.

 

I believe you are avoiding dealing with Adam. I honestly respect the answer of a well known Calvinist scholar better than I respect the avoidance position. He says something like " Adam poses a problem to reformed theology. However Armenianism has far more and far bigger problems it must overcome." For the record, I am far closer to being A Calvinist than I am being an Armenian.

 

II pet 3:9. We are being true to scripture. Does it mention the elect or do you have to add it in that passage?
To your above points, I do not disagree. The Spirit must call a man. A man dead in sin can not call himself. Where we disagree is to whether the call is or is not "irresistible."

 

You are the one who is letting your views determine the text. Even John Mcarthur agrees with my interpretation of that verse. He just adds the caveat that all are "all the elect" and none are "none of the elect.

 

So Calvinist believe Jesus Christ does not have free will.

Cause if he did then he is not human.


I'm still waiting for Calvinist to confirm that they indeed don't have a brain because the bible doesn't mention "brain".

 

The ruler chose to not receive Jesus and get saved, dueto Him not enabled to receive the truth Jesus gave unto Him! He was not one of His own....

 

It is your view, not mine. You say Adam did not have a free will to choose between obeying God and not. Then who is responsible for the sin if Adam had no choice? That only leaves God or the devil.
