Winman, listen to yourself. You are becoming unglued in your argumentation. The issue is not that man's unwillingness to see spiritual truth is rooted in a magical thing, the issue is the fact that it is rooted in man's nature naturally. Winman, perhaps you should take a break......get...

“There are none so blind as those who will not see.” This quote is a reconstruction of Jeremiah 5:21: "Hear now this, O foolish people, and without understanding; which have eyes, and see not; which have ears, and hear not" Unless the Great Physician gives a sinner spiritual sight, that...

Hey, Iconoclast, your use of keen biblical, irrefutable logic is 'divine'!

Biblicist is quite biblical in his answer. Saving Faith is the miraculous creative work of God in a sinner who does not deserve nor has he earned this gift. It is not, however, a gift which is placed at the door of a man's heart waiting for man to accept or reject. It is, in fact, a...

The gift of spiritual sight requires the same omnipotent power of God used to heal the man blind from birth (blindness symbolizing man’s innate sinful nature which is spiritually blind). The gift of forgiveness of sins requires the same omnipotent power of God used to heal the man with palsy...

Protestant wrote: "14. All the glory of man’s spiritual sight and salvation resides in God, not man." As I have stated time and again, Arminians have a single, united purpose: to share the honor and glory for their salvation with the Most High God. Can you think of an infamous biblical...

Scripture teaches man is both unable [lacking power/impotent] to see and unwilling [does not desire/nor choose] to see. ‘Seeing’ in the spiritual sense equates to ‘believing in Christ unto salvation.’ ‘Seeing’ in the literal sense equates to the normal sight with which most are graciously...

It isn’t easy being a Pelagian or Semi-Pelagian Arminian. Holding fast to a belief system despite the extraordinary evidence to the contrary is exhausting, spiritually and mentally. To deny the abundant evidence which is soundly presented day and night by consistent, scriptural Christians...

Peter Kreeft, Pope Francis and the entire Roman Catholic Curia are praising you for your deft defense of their holy faith. They, too, understand a need for the double payment of sin debt. The biblical doctrine of Christ's having fully propitiated the Father on behalf of the Elect is...

Dear Disciple of Catholic Apologist Peter Kreeft: On the one hand you portray yourself a Logician of the highest order, an expert Researcher and Church Historian, as well as a Free Will Apologist who would make Erasmus envious. On the other hand, in the above post you reveal yourself as a...

Re: Dr. Albert Barnes I am elated you were wise enough to seek the counsel of Albert Barnes. Let us read word for word – not conveniently edited as you have presented his writing to us – what Albert Barnes has to say concerning the foreknowledge and salvation of specific persons chosen...

Dear Disciple of Catholic Apologist Peter Kreeft: It was the Papal Godfather who made an offer to the 'heretics' that they worship his wafer-god for the safe-keeping of their lives. But the innumerable 'heretics' refused; who overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their...

Translation: I no longer wish to hear and learn. It matters not what Scripture declares. I have made an immutable decision according to my unchangeable free will. Nothing and no one can make me believe otherwise. Therefore, this debate was, is and will always be circular. Translation: How...

"Turn you at my reproof: behold, I will pour out my spirit unto you, I will make known my words unto you." Have you never read, "Turn thou us unto thee, O Lord, and we shall be turned"? Repentance is the gift of God to the Elect. "if God peradventure will give them repentance to the...

It is obvious this is one of your favorite verses. Please give your interpretation. I eagerly await your response as soon as your sacred sabbath concludes. PS Are you allowed to use electricity and drive motor vehicles during your sabbath rest?

These Scriptures teach exactly what we Calvinists have been saying all along. Unless the Father infallibly and necessarily draws sinners to Christ (i.e., the Elect chosen before the foundation of the world), they will remain obstinate and hateful, choosing instead a false god/gods of their vain...

Take heed of your fellow zealot, the Arminian Inspector General, who is both Logician and Church Historian. According to his principles of logic your propositional truth, "100% of those that come to me were (a) drawn by the Father, and (b) will be raised up on the last day" is 'illogical.' I...

Finally. Winman speaks. I was 'worried' not having seen a post from you on this thread for 24 hours. Unheard of. So now God the Father 'attempts' -- gives it a go; tries hard; makes a rigorous effort -- to reach all men, yet fails in His 'attempt.' That may be so with manmade gods, but not...

I believe there was a typo in your profession of faith. Should it not have read, "I couldn't care less what my relationship with Christ is"........? We Calvinists DO care that the Lord's name not be dishonored. Strange as it may seem, it is not all about you, but about eternal truth...

Actually my understanding of the doctrines of grace came as a result of studying the God-breathed teachings of Jesus and Paul primarily. You know.....those teachings of Election and Predestination "which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures unto...
