The answer why is in Daniel 9, too lazy right now to explain it :) But Harry Ironside has a good explanation on it in his booklet "400 Silent Years"

Herold wrote: No man can say to God 'you forced me to sin' And yet that's exactly what the logical conclusion the Confessions hold, "No person will be able to stand before God and say, "You forced me to sin." "God from all eternity, did, by the most wise and holy counsel of His own will...

Willis Now Willis, notice that the Non Calvinists have painstakingly explained our views directly from SCRIPTURE, and the Calvinists have explained their views directly FROM CONFESSIONS. Which do you think God prefers? (See Matthew 15:9) And yet this is not REALLY what Calvinism teaches...

So are you saying that Hosea raped Gomer? If this is an example of election, then God could have (and according to Calvinist thought WOULD HAVE) told Hosea WHICH WOMAN TO TAKE. But notice in Hosea 1:2, "The beginning of the word of the Lord by Hosea. And the Lord said to Hosea, Go, take unto...

Notice how Paul defines bondage in Romans 6:16, "Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?" Freely trusting to choose Christ is called OBEDIENCE to the gospel. Notice...

Genesis 2 shows a perfect example of God permitting free will and proscriptive will at the same time. 16 And the Lord God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat: 17 But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in...

Psalm 78:22 "Because they believed not in God, and trusted not in his salvation" And yet none of these teachings were prevalent in the church until Augustine. Furthermore, why would they be interested in making sure that Calvinism wasn't misrepresented and at the same time, claim not to be...

The problem with that is you have changed the dynamic of the argument into something that none of us have claimed. I have never said that God COULD NOT over come mans will if He wanted to, I have said that He does NOT based upon what is revealed in Scripture. That is wholly different from the...

So would you call that "general resisting" and "EFFECTUAL resisting".:) Another novelty imposed upon the Scriptures. That is a complete contradiction to Calvinist theology itself and the Bible in 2 aspects: 1. If God has pre-elected and preordained a persons salvation, then how can you...

Stephen had a whole bunch that resisted and Acts 7:51 specifically says so. A verse that anytime you mention it, Calvinists never address it head on. They treat it like it isn't even the Bible and accuse you of being an Arminian if you read it literally. "Ye stiffnecked and uncircumcised in...

I and Will Kinney both have debated with Rick (Logos) on other websites and have covered these subjects ad nauseum and there are issues that Rick outright refuses to address. But I don't have the same liberty on this forum to address issues the same way as were addressed on other forums. I'm...

Unless you climb ranks AFTER retirement, as of 2010 in which you already claimed to be retired seeking VA benefits, you claimed that you were an E-3 Seaman and a Third Class Petty Officer. Your words not mine. And "quite a bit higher" is a little odd for an IC man, but hey, that's your story...

That works both ways, are you saying that God CAN NOT choose to save men by demanding that they choose to repent and turn to Him of their own free will? I believe the Calvinist is much more dogmatic about that question then the Non Calvinist is about yours. And we can explain it without adding...

Like I said, not one single Scripture to support your theory, and without Biblical support, a theory is all that it is. Are you really listening to your logic? *God CONTROLS the TRILLIONS OF THOUGHTS *God does not tempt man to sin Where does sin come from? It comes from mans lustful...

Saying that God is in control of mans temptations and their confusion when the Bible specifically says that God is not the author of confusion (1 Cor 14:33) and does not tempt man to sin (James 1:13) is absurd. Where in Scripture does it say that God controls all of the thoughts and decisions...

His attention hasn't been diverted. He's still doing it on another thread, bringing up months old accusations that he can't offer evidence for and then when I bring up the fact that he was infracted for sending a picture of a pig to me knowing I am Jewish, and how he ignores the question I have...

I never made fun of anyone because they were from the south. I used links as an example of what KY was doing to me to prove that he was in fact using the same kind of logic and methods that could be taken out of context against him and you. Furthermore, you have equally no justification in...

Because you know good and well the issue is not whether I eat pork or not as a Christian, it was sent to me to make fun of me for being Jewish and the insult was implied in the caricature of the context in which you sent it. It was the racist implications that were offensive.

You mean "let it go" in the same that you follow every thread I post on and bring up the plagiarism accusation out of the blue? I'll let it go when that pig you sent me flies :)

I would explain that it is merely your opinion. I would also explain that out of your whopping 23 total posts, half of them directed at ME is quite suspicious. I would explain that it takes 2 to dance and if you are non Calvinist, then you shouldn't believe that I FORCED someone else to...
