My answer would be no....but it would be with the caveat that anyone who satisfies the conditions you have set forth....will, in fact, have a "preacher" sent to them.... I don't think that is a possible scenario...do you see the difference between where I am coming from and you are coming...

No, they cannot; because it is the special revelation of Jesus Christ's work on the cross which is necessary for salvation, but the following of "general" revelation is, however, IMO a sufficient guarantor of exposure to the gospel and the opportunity to accept and repent. I believe that...

YUP!!!! He Does whatsoever he purposes...and it happens to be the case that he purposes and desires ONLY to "marry" those who accept him freely. He could have chosen an "arranged marriage" scenario if he Wanted...but that simply isn't what he wanted nor purposed. He is God, and he is...

NO, simply...no. You are suggesting, in fact, a deduction constructed like this: 1.If God wanted all to be saved then all would be saved 2.All are not saved -Therefore: God does not want all to be saved Here is the problem: We reject premise 1 It is a valid argument, meaning the...

1.) Big foot......NO 2.) Loch Ness....absolutely (and I think it is a legitimately surviving reptilian sea-monster on the order of the Pleiseosaur type....Seriously, I actually buy this one. I also think that the story of the H.M.S. Daedalus recounts a true tale of various "sea-monsters"...

How about: 1.)"Pre-historic" is a fundamentally self-contradictory word to begin with, and second 2.)"Pre-historic" anthropological phenomena, are most likely examples of post-flood man having only the capacity to utilize those tools and materials immediately available to him post deluge...

I am open to the possibility that I am somewhat mistaken here....But I cannot shake the notion that the correct answer is that there is indeed somewhat of an "age of accountability" (dependent upon cognitive capacity and not an arbitrary timeline of course). But I have come to the conclusion...

Tim: This is where I think a lot of confusion lies about this topic: If he knew that the choice you made was going to be to sin, and God cannot be wrong, then it was a predetermined situation that he created. This does not actually follow logically. God's perfect knowledge of a...

I think that Greek is on to something here Morse...and although, your basic premise is correct....If I understand it, it is that verbally, "calmaity and evil" are inter-changeable in the Hebrew. This is true, but that is the nature of the language. The Hebrew uses ( I think) ONE word to...

On another thread, I might...but, Greek is not asking for that. I will not debate it. This is primarily a thread for him to seek the advice of fellow Calvinists....when HE (and not you) requests confirmation...he knows how to use "Google". I will not debate here. I gave my take....and...

Icon...that is simply not true...there have been MANY very prominent Calvinist Theologians who absolutely DO believe that, and state as much...You are probably correct about there not being any "confessions" or "catechisms" which do. But there have been MANY Prominent Theologians (it is quite...

As this is primarily for Calvies...I will only attempt to add a little and will not debate or continue to comment. I would only say this: Some Calvies actually DO admit as much (more or less)...Someone on your other thread said "No Calvinist and no confession states that God is the author of...

HE DIDN'T...HOW DARE YOU!!!! :laugh: An idea which, in my mind, only actually proved his lack of appreciation for wealth and money...because those (relatively few times) someone spent good money on some solid weed and offered me some...I didn't WASTE it by refusing to inhale...I at least got...
