Featured "Free Choice" - MB

Argument against the man posts reveal nothing edifying.
No matter how often the absurdity is repeated, non-choice is not choice.
1 Cor. 2:14 does not say natural people cannot understand all the things of the Spirit,
Matthew 23:13 teaches the fallen have some spiritual ability, they were entering the kingdom.
Calvinism asserts God ordains (predestines) whatsoever comes to pass, including our choice to sin, yet God is not the author of sin. Pure nonsense wrapped in an enigma. Cognitive dissonance on display.

 

This only because you have invaded the thread with your calvinistic foolishness. Like Jehovah's Witnesses you insist on a barrage of non sense to confuse the topic so you can attempt to protect the false doctrine of Calvinism.

See there even you can understand the truth.

An answer isn't what you want because I've given it to you. What you want is an agreement with you and that is not going to happen.

You've never answered the questions I've asked you. I asked you to prove total depravity and you have not done that. All you have done is post scripture that when read in context which doesn't prove it.

Slaves in bondage have managed to escape their bonds, by choosing Christ. Just because they are in bondage does not mean they can't hear the gospel or make a decision for Christ.

These are not just taking the anti Calvinistic view. They're trying to show Calvinist the truth of what Scripture actually says. The fact you and other Calvinist are not able to defend taking scripture out of context and using tactics to confuse and distract from what is so obvious about Calvinism is really denying that God wrote what He wrote. This denial is disrespect of God.

I sometimes, don't reflect the Christian witness that I should. But in this thread, I decided to take a few days off to regain my peace.

The biggest problem in most Christian forums is that unbelievers are watching and we are sending the worst possible messages to them.

 

This post proves that you don't know what reformed theology teaches.

I'd love to see you post a scripture that says men have free will unto salvation. I've read through the Bible many times, and I just can't find it.

 

Hi there!

I'm late to the party

You may have already defined it, but can you explain what you mean when you say "Free will unto salvation" and I will do my best to present a reasonable response. Thanks!

 

Ok, first, Please explain how the context helps your argument you developed out of John 6:44. Please be specific. This is a Gospel Narrative in which Christ was speaking to specific people at a specific place at a specific time. Thanks in advance.

Secondly,

Right, sinners sin. Saved people sin. What's your point?

Thirdly,

Explain how 1 Corinthians 2:14, in its context, explains that sinners need to be regenerated in order to place their faith in Christ...again, in its context. If it's truly there, you should be able to support your claim without going to other areas of Scripture.

Thanks in advance

 

How convenient, you don't include the next verse.

John 6:45 It is written in the prophets, ‘And they will all be taught by God.’ Everyone who hears and learns from the Father comes to me.

 

The exercise is for YOU to put the together the verses. He was speaking to people who rejected Christ's teaching BECAUSE they did not truly "listen to the Father." That was their claim "Our Father this, our Father That." And Jesus was saying, "If you were truly born-again, learning of the Father, He would have drawn you to Me."

This passage is a Gospel Narrative and Not an Epistle. You must handle it carefully. Christ is making a statement that is speaking about people who would have already been regenerated AT THAT TIME dealing with Christ's ministry.

 

How can you believe something that you admit that you can't explain?

He's talking about, in my estimation, texts of Scripture. @thatbrian failed to exegete the texts but is certain as to what they mean.
