Actually calvinists paint all you calvinists with the beliefs of the hyper cal's. “Compatibilism is no less deterministic than hard determinism.” [Calvinist {John Hendryx, How can God be Sovereign and Man still be Free?}] Soft determinism / compatibilism holds that there is human free will...

Well since He did not do that as I have rejected calvinism so that proves your comment wrong. But as usual none of the calvinists can give a logical answer as to why they disagree with female pastors as by their own words God has determined everything. Calvinists do have some real problems...

For someone that says that God is sovereign you sure do not want to let Him be sovereign. Besides I have yet to see @5 point Gillinist give an answer as to why he disagrees with the fact that God decreed that women be teacher/pastors. You say having female pastor goes against God's word but...

ZA you have to change "directs" to determines for it to fit your religion. God gives us direction but He does not determine what we think and do. If you could get past your calvinism you would understand that.

Self will is free will ZA or it is determined by God so then He becomes responsible for whatever the person does. So which is it ZA man or God is responsible for the mans sin? Ordained having been decreed, appointed, or formally established by some authority. That fits right in with your...

But to be able to openly rebel requires a free will ZA. But since you do not think man has a free will then that open rebellion must have been decreed and that makes you wonder why God said He desires all to come to repentance. Calvinists do have an odd view of God when you think through what...

All that was needed was a YES or NO answer but since you can't do that I will take it from the verses you posted that your version of God actually decreed all the sin and evil in the world. So you have now made Him responsible for that. Now to be clear you said "He foreordained EVERYTHING that...

Can't answer a simple question as it would show the errors of your religion. I suggest you stop displaying your foolishness thinking that it somehow makes you look intellectual.

Did not answer the clear question. Want to try again.

Why is it that the average calvinist cannot read and answer a basic question? Did I say they mean the same thing NO. I asked a question and I note you did not answer. You are the typical calvinist that I see on the boards, a lot of blow and bluster but no substance.

Even the evil, the sin?

Can't handle the basic question can you. The logic of your religion has painted you in a corner.

Then you and ZA should look up what Deism means. So you do not think God is omniscient, has complete foreknowledge?

David our lives are not as dismal as he he portrays it. {"Do we not find that there is little else but sorrow to be reaped from everything in this world? I am sure I find, and have found for some years, that there is little else to be gathered from the world but disappointment...

Calvinist claim to trust the word of God but they do spend a lot of time denying what it clearly says. Why do they think we should trust their WCF/LBCF over the clear word of God? I have asked in various ways but none that hold that view have provided a good answer.

I did not know you were going to try out a comedy routine. So you have one of those special calvinist bibles I see. But I can see why you say Jesus taught determinism. God determined that those who freely trust in Him would be saved and Paul taught it. Act 16:30 and after he brought them...

That is just you spouting of again. You avoid answering any questions ZA. You have no foundation for your religion so you try to deflect. They trust the parts of the bible that their thought would support their religion. That is a big difference fro actually trusting the bible ZA. Just your...

It's been fun but I have things to do. TaTa.

You lost it when you cannot even say what foreknowledge means ZA. I have tried to help you but you just do not seem able to grasp even basic concepts.

Ya the vast majority of bible believing Christians.
