Thank you for actually engaging in an argument relevant to the OP! :thumbs: I appreciate your POV...but if I may:

You are simply refusing to engage the OP...or any arguments or statements which speak to it. Why do you even post??? I've read the verse....(long before you ever posted it). I've read it now 3 more times since you have posted it....It is irrelevant to the OP. Your post is irrelevant to the...

Sir...I do, using a different term does nothing to change the situation. You may dislike the term "determinism" (but there really is no reason for you to). The term is not a pajorative (not in the real world anyway). What you like to call "Doctrines of Sovereign Grace" amounts to...

The Op May be a little toungue in cheek...but it is also true. Consistency within the Calvinist schema creates a Dilema as many have pointed out namely that: 2. Universal causal determinism cannot be rationally affirmed. There is a sort of dizzying, self-defeating character to determinism...

BTW....as a non-cal...I agree with you completely about the "double-jeopardy" argument...truth be told, I don't think the "double-jeopardy" argument actually holds regardless of which view you espouse...I reject the entire line of argument whole-sale....I think it is possibly the most...

Look, Grasshopper, I know that there are meaningful Theologically derived explanations of what "propitiation" is. Do you think that I was suggesting that the word was inherently meaningless? I think you do. I think you were of the opinion that I was attempting to suggest that the term...

I think you are on the right track...You are ever a thoughtful poster....2 Peter 2:1 gives me a special pause...here is God saying (and in so many words) that there are "false teachers" and "false prophets" that he states unequivocally he "bought them".... I just think this is a Biblical...

It's a transliteration....it has no English equivalent. Anyone who says otherwise is mistaken.

Perfectly stated and true. :thumbs:

If "success" is not found, then it is because it is God's perfect will that it not be "found"....there is no reason to doubt God's perfect purpose...God has, in his perfect Sovereignty, chosen NOT to enlighten some others about his truths. Your disdain for God's perfect will is sinful and in...

They are all wonderful stories...Your last Sentence makes me wonder though...The answer to BOTH questions in the last sentence is, yes. There are redeeming values, and yes, it's fantasy. All told though...it's just a story. It's imaginative good clean uplifting entertainment. It is a...

I would begin by pointing out it's flaws: 1.) That simply doesn't follow....It MAY be the case, that there is a world in which you did...but there might not be 2.) You use of the word "imaginary" is telling...It seems to reveal that you believe that the actions of free creatures are...

Only in this particular version of White's. But, then again, White's version may not be the correct one. Of course, that might be so, but, I doubt it. Molinism can take several different directions at certain points. Having watched that video before (twice) I honestly can tell you that I...

Here's the weird thing..........in some sort of way....it IS "Ontologically Possible" in the Molinist Schema. There is actually no reason that it ISN'T Ontologically Possible. Molinism ONLY speaks of what WILL BE.....There are NO barriers to what is "possible" though, if true LFW exists...

No, Icon...You would NOT have EVER thought that regardless; not from me, and not from any Arminian. That was quippy, and witty but (coming from you) it simply is not true.

Good.......... Then Please take all of our Seminaries, and all our property and go away..........and never pollute the doors of an Arminian Church or Institution again.

Somehow......Herald, I think you are slightly ticked with how quickly it seems that Arminians are willing to peaceably part-ways with Calvinists..... What did you think??? Did you think we were desperate to INCLUDE YOU in our Churches???? No...... You may go away at your own...
