    Calvinism, TULIP, and reverse engineering

    @JonC , @Paleouss , @Zaatar71 I always wondered what the appeal of Calvinism was to the new Christian, as many new Christians are now turning to it and it's becoming the popular model of understanding Scripture. For me it was a combination of a hunger for understanding Scripture, and a...

    Calvinism, TULIP, and reverse engineering

    Is this point legitimate? Does Tulip change the way people approach Scripture? From A.I. The reverse engineering argument against TULIP The starting point is the outcome, not the text: Critics argue that rather than beginning with the biblical text to form a theology, the TULIP framework...

    I seen that. I watched some of the Indiana Oregon game. Neither QB was impressive. Both Mendoza and Moore had average days, at best. Makes me wonder if the value would not be in waiting for Drew Allar in the second, or third, if he makes it that far. I doubt it. He's not on anyone's radar right...

    I thought that Bell would wind up with the Raiders and reunited with his college QB Aidan O'Connell. Maybe they try to capture some of that magic that they had in college. Actually, before this last draft, I wanted the Browns to offer a late round pick to try to get Aiden for that same reason. I...

    Bill Belichick once said, "I don't know what it is, I just know it when I see it." For what it's worth, I feel that way about Carnell Tate. He has a way of making defenders bits on his hard steps that the good receivers in the NFL have. He doesn't have the speed, yet he has the medicine to fly...

    This may be one of the best linebacker classes that we've seen in a while. Traditionally, when this happens, these linebackers fly off the boards in the early second round and sometimes late first. Anthony Hill Jr. (Texas), Sonny Styles (Ohio State), Taurean York (Texas A&M), Deontae Lawson...

    On a side note, David Bell, the receiver from Purdue who was drafted by the Browns in the third round pick in 2022 has announced his retirement on Tuesday. Bell said, "I was blindsided by an off-field injury that was beyond my control, which put my football future in jeopardy. "After...

    Jordyn Tyson doesn't appear to have anything on Carnell Tate, though everyone has him ranked as the best receiver in this class. He may be faster than Carnell, but I'm not seeing it on film. It looks like he's playing against lesser talent than Carnell is, which would put Carnell at the number...

    What is AI?

    Is AI a Psychopath? Why Its Lies Are More Disturbing Than You Think "As I was thinking about why the concept of AI lying to us is so disturbing, I wondered if AI is a sociopath or a psychopath. It’s easy to confuse those. A sociopath has feelings, but ignores them. A psychopath isn’t able to...

    Calvinism, Arminianism, and Provisionism?

    Hey Martin That's fine, no hurry. Been there done that. Sometimes God wants us to think it through first. From what I gather, Flowers believes that prevenient grace is offered through hearing the Word of God. In other words, the Word of God is in and of itself prevenient grace, or God's...

    Drew must declare for the draft in 2026. Bad coaching could mean a bargain QB if someone is willing to take a shot on him. 6'5" and a good arm. He's probably going to need to sit and develop for a few years. Sounds like a Steeler to me.

    As it is written: "There is none righteous, no, not one; There is none who understands; There is none who seeks after God.

    Justification is the context of Paul's point in Romans. Many quote that passage in Romans 3 as proof of moral inability, but the inability is about justification, not ones ability to respond to the Gospel message positively. The context of what Paul is quoting in Psalms and Isaiah says the exact...

    Calvinism, Arminianism, and Provisionism?

    Hey Martin. They are bad as they can be in the sense of God's righteousness. Anything by the flesh is not good, and considered unrighteousness. Thus, "there are none that do good". But as bad as we can be in the moral sense? Not even being able to desire the 'Good Doctor'? Paul says that we...

    As it is written: "There is none righteous, no, not one; There is none who understands; There is none who seeks after God.

    Exactly, that was the point. Jews, just like Gentiles are all under sin. Justification.

    As it is written: "There is none righteous, no, not one; There is none who understands; There is none who seeks after God.

    Romans 3:9 emphasizes that the Jewish people, despite having God's law, have not been able to keep it, just as the Gentiles, who did not have the law, are also sinners. Ultimately, it argues that no one is righteous on their own, and all are in need of salvation through faith in Jesus. None can...

    They say that there is a disconnect between James Franklin (HC) and/or Andy Kotelnicki (OC). Is one or both to blame for Drew Allar's problems? 'They' also say that it appears that Allar is overthinking now and not acting on instinct with the more simplified system. Maybe Allar could be a steel...
