Sorry, not sure what you're saying, or arguing.

LOL! I knew it. He even admits he's trying to pick a fight.

Thank you! He won't listen to me, but maybe he'll listen to another.

Suit yourself. I have total peace.

You're stubborn. It's common saying. I have total peace. You should learn about the fallacy I'm trying to explain to you.

I have total peace about this. You're allowing the devil to get a foothold due to stubbornness.

I would think so, yes.

Twilight zone.

Dave, I assure you, that wasn't the point of the comment. There is a fallacy of embedding a premise into a question. You asked, "If God did not create Adam to sin, who did?" The question includes the premise that Adam was created to sin. When these kinds of questions are asked, the "Have you...

Not to belabor this, I think your point is fair, but wouldn't it be considered the case that Dort simply went back and found insurmountable inconsistencies with the Arminian points and Calvin's theology? They were, at the very least, extremely successful in swaying Calvin's followers away from...

Arminianism is a reformed protestant theology, as is calvinism. It's true Dort finalized calvinism as it exists today, and some argue Calvin wouldn't be totally onboard. There are other views like pelagianism and semipelagianism and the others you mentioned. But I think Y1 also has a point...

What we know for certain is that Adam was never commanded to eat so he could stay alive. The only criterion for that was abstaining from the Tree of Knowledge.

Do you believe you deserve partial credit for your salvation? It's a very simple question.

The beating your wife question is a common example of questions with premises. It's used often to demonstrate this fallacy. Good grief.

Fair enough. Do you believe you deserve partial credit for your salvation?

No, just giving you an example of an unfair question with a premise built in. I have no reason to believe you ever beat your wife.

Virtually all Arminians Calvinists and in between, in my experience, affirm that God gets 100% of the credit for our salvation. If you disagree, and are fighting for some credit, that's very concerning.

As I said, even if we do make a synergistic decision on faith, it still gets us nowhere. God is not obligated to save believers. He even calls them ungodly. Rom. 4:5 But to him who does not work but believes on Him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is accounted for righteousness, This...
