No, the entire argument does NOT simply "hinge" on the context of the overall theme of chapters 6-8. That does provide context, but is not the primary argument. The primary argument as is clearly stated in bold capital letters is that the subject is about the CARNAL MIND not being able to please...

Since Romans 8:7 seems to be the verse that some hang their hat on to prove Total Inability, it needs to have it's own thread and be dissected so that folks know what this verse really means, and that it does NOT support the assertions offered by certain "biblicists" on here. " Because the...

Whilst the Seventh Day Adventists debate over whether the Christians are wrong about worshiping in church on Sonday or Saturday, and accuse Christians of violating the Sabbath (as well as contend that Sonday observance is the "mark of the beast"), let me emphatically state that as a person...

Just because the Council of Trent opposes Calvinism IN SOME PLACES doesn't mean that Calvinism is not connected to the RCC. The CoT does not agree with Augustine in many places, and yet there is no question about Augustine's influence on the RCC and his canonization. And there is certainly no...

And just who would that be that kills some and exiles others over some broken down piece of real estate. So you think living in a country where someone else has done something you think is wrong, is the same as directly causing and consenting to death of people for religious reasons? So that...

About as oxymoronic as Calvinist Baptist.

No it's not a resistance based on external influences. That flies against the very face of compatibilist freedom. The only external involved is that which imposed a predetermined will CAUSING an internal reaction that can not do otherwise (according to compatibilist freedom) which still makes...

Paul never murdered anyone after he got saved, nor sprinkled babies, nor believed that the Holy Spirit was "spiritually present" in the sacrements, and Paul was premillennial. Not very much in common with Calvin.

Coming from you that's funny that I should read more when you claimed to have lead the revolt against Calvinism in college having never read Calvin by your own admission. I, however HAVE read Calvin-and Gill, and Jones, Edwards, Whitefield, Kennedy, Sproul, Pink, Piper, MacArthur, Boettner, et...

Then what is the old nature really resisting? If the new nature is not actually fighting the old nature, then the old nature is not actually ever resisting anything at all, and yet you say it is ALWAYS resisting. Yet it is that same old nature that was resisting the Holy Ghost in Acts 7:51. If...

Well said. The problem is that the Calvinist will never just be honest about what they really believe in 2 major areas: 1) God doesn't love everybody 2) That non Non Calvinist is really saved. They will tell you that you hate the Bible, hate the sovereignty of God, everything short of saying...

Yup, I agree, most Greek "experts" are TOOLS.

And Calvinists can tell the difference between a premise and a conclusion: PREMISE: God hath from eternity determined ALL THINGS whatsoever cometh to pass: CONCLUSION: God is the author of sin Calvinist: "I never said that [premise]" And now you are equivocating again. You said IF...

So which comes first, the non resistance or the new heart? Calvinists will never get straight on their theology.

There you go! THAT'S what I'm talking about.:thumbs::thumbs: A little more honesty and you will almost be out of the closet. Calvinists need to just come right out and say what they really believe: that you can't be saved unless you're a Calvinist, and that God doesn't love everybody. Then...

Why don't you cowards quit beating around the bush and just admit that you don't believe anyone but a Calvinist is saved. It's getting ready old to hear all of this clandestine rhetoric saying it all but straight-forward. Good night just be honest for once in your lives.

If man doesn't have the natural ability to believe, then why isn't every unsaved person on the planet locked up in a mental institution because they don't BELIEVE it's safe to walk out of the house without getting shot or captured by aliens? They don't believe they're spouse loves them. They...

So says the "preacher" with the signature of a slave owner. Just what "biblical truth" did Jonathan Edwards use to justify owning slaves? And it certainly defies the facts of history that Calvinists never attacked their opponents. They attacked them in the most literal way-with sword and fire...

Funny about that, if it was the Holy Spirit according to her testimony SHE RESISTED AND REJECTED IT WHILE HE WAS "CALLING" HER! But notice the trend here lately where Calvinists are starting to act like Charismatics in relying on their experience to validate their theology. Like I predicted...

Well according to Calvies no unsaved person can seek God. Plus the highlight portion of my comment shows that she stated her intellect was involved which is also contrary to Calvinism, especially since the display of her intellect in debating the sermon occurred before she was said she was saved.
