Featured NOBTS professor detects Calvinistic tilt in study notes of LifeWay’s new Bible (CSB)

You repeat the same things yet say nothing. As I have said, I do not want to be God. That idea is a fabrication of your over active imagination.
Again: God told Adam not to sin. According to you, it had to be Gods will for Adam to sin. God says one thing yet wills another?

 

You provided no answer. You provided a non-answer. You are having fundamental reading comprehension issues this evening. I asked God no question. I asked you a question.

 

LOL, I did not provide an answer you accept. There is a difference. Continue in your synergism, imagining you can work your way into God's favor.

 

As I said, you gave a non-answer.
Still going with your wild fabrications. How did you decide I am working to attain God's favor? What led you to fabricate that fantastic nonsense?

 

Simple. You insist that you are choosing despite the fact that God tells you over and over again that He chooses you.
You are demanding a role that is not yours.

 

Again,, The Bible is not so clear on exactly what God's choosing actually is. Is it a resistance or an irresistible choosing is the issue at hand. Looking at Adam, God mist definitely appears to let man resist His perfect will.

 

It's very clear. God chooses in the adoption process. You, the orphan rebel child, do not choose your Father.
It is that simple.
When I see people over thinking this, it is almost always because they want to have control and they are looking for any possible means to be in control.
Life is so much more enjoyable and filled with contentment when we die with Christ and Christ lives instead of us. (Galatians 2:20)
If God is going to be Sovereign in a real and practical way, then we have to let go of any attempt to have control. Let God have his Sovereign role as King and be content with serving in the Kingdom.

 

Again, 2 Thessalonians 2:13 says we are chosen for salvation through faith in the truth, rather than being chosen individually before we existed. As far as Ephesians, In this passage (Ephesians 1:3-9) Paul lists the blessings born anew believers now positionally sanctified in Christ, have received: First, God’s redemption plan formulated before creation included both His Redeemer (Christ) and those who would be redeemed (us) chosen corporately. Next, we would be made blameless and holy as a new creation in Christ. Our third listed blessing is that we are predestined for adoption, the redemption of our bodies at Christ’s second coming. Forth, our sins are forgiven through the blood of His Lamb. Finally, with the indwelling of the Helper, He made known to us the mystery of His plan for redemption of those who trust in Christ.

As far as Romans 8:29-30, Those He foreknew refers to the target group of God’s redemption plan, everyone redeemed by Christ. The redemption plan predestined the spiritual rebirth of those redeemed, making them spiritual children of God and siblings of Christ. Called refers to those God sets apart in Christ, the redeemed. During our spiritual rebirth, the washing of regeneration removes our sin burden, thereby justifying those redeemed. And we are spiritually glorified as a new creation united with Christ.

 

Well, my life is surrendered to Him. What difference does it make If I had a choice to surrender or if I had a meere illusion of a choice to surrender? I have no desire or ability to unsurrender, so what does it matter?

 

God didn't give you the option to surrender. It wasn't your choice.
God adopted you while you were yet rebellious.
You still want to have control. Stop it. You have no control over the matter. None, zip, nada.

 

You got that right!

 

You are a broken record. Same old
Junk over and over. You remind me of the church lady on S.N.L.

I am still waiting for you to address how Adam, who had no control, did exactly what God told him not to do. Did God tell Adam not to do what God really willed him to do?

 

God decreed/ordained that there would be the Fall, and He decreed the Cross of Christ as his way to deal with that issue, but Adam and Eve still did what they desired to do, same way Judas fulfilled scripture as one to betray Jesus, and so was ordained by God to do that, but he still did as he desired to do!

 

Maybe you can clear that up for Sproul, he seems confused about it.
Why did Adam want to do evil? He had no sin nature.

 

Not really, as the fall was ordained by the will of God to happen, and Adam choose to do what he wanted!

 

Back it up to satan, why did he sin against God? Answer, Pride was found to now be in Him.....

 

I sound like a broken record because I won't accept your poor understanding of Sovereignty and grace. So be it. Your demand to have God tell you and explain to you his purpose in the fall is childish.

God does what he does because He is Sovereign. He owes us no explanation. Rest in God and trust Him.

Why is that so hard for you to do?

 

Maybe because you are not God. Maybe because your theology has a fatal flaw in it that you defend simply by calling those ignorant who point it out.

I am going to use your reasoning. I believe what I believe because God is sovereign
And He ordained it that way.
