    Total depravity or total inability?

    Van Arminians believe in prevenient grace. Though, I believe that you're framing it wrong in your mind. It's not that prevenient grace ensures one will be saved, as you believe, rather, it's that it actually allows them to to make the choice. Arminians believe that prevenient grace can be...

    NFL draft junkies start now.

    TY Simpson of Alabama. He sat behind Jalen Milroe last year. They just beat Vanderbilt and before that Georgia. From those highlights he looks like a very twitchy, mobile QB with a strong arm. The Vanderbilt game he looked good. The Georgia game he looked even better. This guy fits the mold of...

    NFL draft junkies start now.

    Gennings Dunker from Iowa is going to climb boards. He looks undersize, though. Hard to tell about arm length. He look pretty athletic. He blocked for Kaleb Johnson last year, which is saying something. This kid is starting to grow on me. He's a good guard at worst.

    NFL draft junkies start now.

    There's going to be a tight race for the top spot this year. Strength of schedule is the first tie breaker. From AI "Yes, the NFL Draft uses strength of schedule (SoS) as a primary tiebreaker for teams with the same record, with the team that played the weaker schedule (lower opponent win...

    NFL draft junkies start now.

    NFL Tackles. Many teams need Offensive linemen. It seems like there is always a demand. Of the top three, only one is staying. That's Spencer Fano (Utah). Francis Mauigoa (Miami), Kadyn Proctor (Alabama) are falling on boards due to not playing as well as people had hoped. Even though...

    Total depravity or total inability?

    Hey Van I think that unbelievers understand it, at least intellectually. This Idea that unbelievers cannot grasp what the Gospel message is a farse. It's not that they didn't understand what Jesus was saying. They hung Him on the cross for it. They didn't see Him, as He told it, in the OT...

    Total depravity or total inability?

    Hey Van I did not say that I did not believe in prevenient grace. God's Word could be considered a form prevenient grace. The presence of God is a form of prevenient grace. His tabernacle, the Temple, Jesus Himself in His incarnation. Remember, before the Holy Spirit indwelling was given to...

    Total depravity or total inability?

    “On the other hand, if God's moral judgement differs from ours so that our 'black' may be His 'white', we can mean nothing by calling Him good; for to say 'God is good', while asserting that His goodness is wholly other than ours, is really only to say 'God is we know not what'. And an utterly...

    Total depravity or total inability?

    This is excellent!!!! also. The Quote by C.S. Lewis in this video concerning total depravity is really though provoking. C.S. Lewis On Calvinism And Total Depravity

    Total depravity or total inability?

    Hey Van The point that I was making was that Spurgeon was a Calvinist, but did not believe that a person could have regeneration and still need to come to faith. The Calvinist view is more varied from the past great theologians than what people would think. Here's a good explanation that you...

    Total depravity or total inability?

    Hey Charlie In John 6:44, who He was drawing is defined (John 6:37). After He His ascension, He drew all peoples. If anyone would like to understand the context better, I just heard a great video on that passage. I think the drawing in the OT had a more specific goal in mind and was a bit...

    Are white people being systematically eliminated in the U.S.?

    When that projected shift written about in the OP happens, they are already calling everyone who are non white in that scenario a majority minority collectively. White people would still be a majority to each individual non white ethnic group, but a minority to all of them combined. The word...

    The great tragedy of the American Chestnut tree.

    I always wondered why the drawings of Daniel Boone and early settlers showed giant trees. They seemed to by in an area that was nothing like the Appalachians that I understood. I always chalked it up to greedy lumber companies. But this is amazing history and a warning of the damage one could...

    Total depravity or total inability?

    Maybe there's a more accurate way to approach this thing. It's not as cut and dry as people make it out to be. The framework of the typical total depravity discussion and the usual path that it takes does a disservice to the depth of the real discussion. Maybe that's intentional. How should...

    Total depravity or total inability?

    Total depravity is not really a Calvinist doctrine. The "T" in Tulip actually stands for total inability. Arminians do believe in total depravity/inability. Inability is actually the correct way of stating it. Lets see how your understanding of others beliefs stand up to these. Lets start out...

    Are white people being systematically eliminated in the U.S.?

    I always though white men have traditionally favored voting conservative. White women were more even, but still favored Trump in the last election. There was a big shift for men and to a lesser degree women in other ethnic groups towards conservativism in the last Presidential election. It's...

    Are white people being systematically eliminated in the U.S.?

    It doesn't bother me. I was just wondering what's the thinking behind it as it seems intentional. A lot of it has to do with the opening of the borders. I'm thinking that they had to do that because of the lack of children being born in the country. They need future work forces. Italy is an...

    Passport Bros?

    Warning. The name passport bros has a bad element who recently created the name, but that bad element casts a shadow over the real story, and that is that most of the other men have been going overseas with good intentions to find more traditional wives for a long time now. Recently this has...

    Are white people being systematically eliminated in the U.S.?

    From AI... "Will white people be a minority in the United States? Yes, demographic projections by the U.S. Census Bureau and other sources indicate that non-Hispanic white people will become a minority in the United States around 2045. This shift is driven by a combination of factors...
