Well said, actually.....specifically, that neither view classifies as heresy. It is somewhat important, and worth discussion, but, well-said all-in-all.

A wonderfully and perfectly Orthodox and Theologically expressed Systematic syllogism which makes sense in light of presuppositions which you need to be true for your understanding to remain consistent. These arguments have been around for literally millennia. They are directly related to why...

Tons of it, half the book of Hebrews, much has been presented I don't doubt already. I won't do your homework for you. The whole of the gospels. I'd begin in Genesis 1:1 and read the book. You are making your argument from the standpoint of propositions which must fit an Orthodox Theological...

You should probably check again, because Jesus clearly engaged in it with his disciples. Luk 24:27 And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded unto them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself. That is literally the very word you are denying is in the Bible. Yes. All...

Better, perhaps to say "truly" God and "truly" man, there's a reason the confessions don't express it in mathematical terms. The Bible teaches absolutely no such thing, it doesn't even really speak of "natures" in the sense that Theologians traditionally, and you now are using the term. The...

Who says it is impossible for a human to achieve? Jesus was as human as any one of us and he did it. Jesus did struggle with temptation. He overcame it. Yes. the Bible suggests as much. It also repeatedly informs us that his miracles were wrought through that same Holy Spirit. Sure it can...

There's truth to this actually. The American Revolutionaries didn't rebel because they thought of themselves as not British. All of the rights they appealed to and even insisted on in the Declaration of Independence were rights that they thought themselves entitled to as Englishmen....... That's...

That is because you do not believe in freedom of speech.

Well said, watched them for a decade or more....stopped watching them altogether a few months ago.

ditto.

No one is claiming to mind-read you. Stop lying. No one objected on a basis of personal incredulity...stop lying. Yes, you did, and you misread them and misunderstood them, I only pointed out how, exactly, and why you misunderstood the classical Arminian position on this.... I was quite...

Those are the philosophical presuppositions which you bring to the doctrine. Were you to affirm Arminianism, those would be your conclusions. That's fine. That tells us a lot about what Van thinks, it doesn't enlighten anybody as to what is believed by Classical Arminians. Some no doubt...

This is the relevant sentence Van. That does not exclude numerous possible answers: 1.) Theoretically, given this absolutely no one would be elect if no one ever believed. It only insists God would save any who did. 2.) The "THOSE WHO" that you put in red are not specific individuals. It...

You may have a point there!

That Church precludes itself from thousands of possible opportunities because it insists on this absurd and remarkably un-biblical demand that he have 7+ years experience as a Senior Pastor. Why should a man who has loved a congregation that long leave it for that Church? After 7years should he...

It will not cause that. They are lawless. They stole the election quite illegally, they have put apparatchicks in place to preclude rule of law. You now live in a Banana Republic. That was always the goal.

Yes. They are opposed to everything good America stands for.

Not possible even in your own Theological system, according to your own avowed system, he was quadriplegic before he was born, it couldn't be because of an accident in which he was the cause. Yes, because God wanted it that way. It's stupid for God to bother once he laughingly admits that he...

It's simply a fact. Neither Arminianism nor all brands of Calvinism require a belief that election occurs prior to creation. Many Calvinist models do, but not all. Arminianism rarely requires that view. It's simply false to claim that is so. You are wrong about that assertion and most...
