Walpole's statement did not imply Universalism. It simply asserted an offer Universally available for all to receive. That is not to say that all will ultimately accept it, or that God will ultimately save all regardless of whether they accept or reject. That is a huge difference.

I define it as: The capacity to choose between two or more available options, or to refrain from choosing, unconstrained by any internal or external causal necessity. This is essentially why I have little patience for any form of Compatibilism....but, that is not at issue here.

Wow....outer-space no less. Now let's bet on whether Trump can build a wall all the way in outer-right-here.

I do! :Thumbsup

This, I have not read, but I'd be surprised if she did. If so, that is wrong. Then again, I can see her arguing that divorce is not acceptable even if separation is necessary. I could appreciate that argument. It depends on what is meant by "staying in". That can mean refusing to divorce but...

Yup, it wasn't until the 70's that there were any meaningful laws in the U.S. and all 50 States really didn't recognize it until 1993. I realize that all of our forefathers were merely stupid, unenlightened, brutish, sexist Neanderthals, and we, the particular generations of the last 50 years...

The new one, or the old one? Glenn close was great in that movie.

I don't either. Not many decades ago, practically no one would have thought that. "Spousal Rape" is (almost by definition) an oxymoron.

I followed the links....and spent some hours reading blog post after blog post. I suspected she was being misrepresented here (and of course she is) and to paraphrase Disney's Iago: "I am going to have a heart-attack and die of not surprise" I don't find many objectionable things on her...

^^This^^ If the question at hand is truly about knowing you are saved it is a simple matter of taking God at his word...I can't imagine the question being any more complicated. Either we believe him or we don't . I suspect the question was posed in order to begin a rant against all things...

Sorry that you can't view youtube :( The thread is essentially based upon the content of the video. Or was...….. Benjamin's summary is pretty accurate.

And thanks for the effort. In reality, the content doesn't disprove Calvinist Theology, but it's not going to be content that any Calvinist will want to meaningfully engage with. So, they don't. But they will spam the regular talking points, so goes the "debate", but some will learn from the...

No response to the video I see.

"Arminians" are rare creatures, also, irrelevant to this post.

Yes, I was commenting about how much I love the expressiveness of the English language. Sure you did...."Correct" isn't even the issue... English is marvelously expressive in it's ability to express anger by tapping into a sense of smell.... Hebrew does that as well actually. Long story....I...

The gentlemen who gave us a synopsis of his scholarly work is not a "YouTube prognosticator"....he was answering questions by your "you-tube prognosticator" about his work, the contents of which was a scholarly treatment of Augustine's Philosophy and how it effected his reading of Scripture...

I wish to engage with the content of the video.... If you sish to discuss that, then, by all means, I don't want the discussion to go beyond that.

No, I'm actually not particularly incensed at all... you do not offend me. You are not actually responding to the actual topic of the thread....so, I don't want you to change it's nature. The thread is about Historical Theology, so, I don't want that changed. But, I don't actually find you...

Yes, but this isn't about what Dave thinks the Bible says....it's about the Gnosticism that Augustine infected the Church with, if that's not what you want to talk about....then why respond? If you aren't interested in the O.P....why respond at all? Is it because you assume we are all on...

Not with you, I don't consider you worth fighting with. Fine, I don't care one whit what you think about anything. I don't want your respect. I don't respect you one iota, I don't want you to respect me. That's not the topic of this thread......the topic is why Augustine poisoned minds for a...
