Apples and oranges.

Do you feel an obligation to mention the error of ALL theologians and figures in church history that you quote?

Does it? Exactly how?

That's a great point, which I failed to mention in a previous post. It is people, not their actions, that God foreknew, according to the text.

Christ came to save sinners, so I certainly am not saying anything about one's own "righteousness", for there are none who would qualify. Genesis 4:1 isn't speaking about Adam intellectually knowing Eve. It's speaking of intimacy, and this demonstrates that God's electing choice was not just a...

Yes. I agree, but I think it's the Mark Driscoll's breed of Calvinist who should be referred to as "millennial". That's my only point.

I'm not so sure that those who have been influenced by Kuyper are new to the scene since he died in 1920. Tim Keller, now about 65, was very influenced by Kuyper, for instance.

I think it would it be fair to say that Neo-Calvinism is only reformed in its soteriology.

Everything. It's Paul's topic of discussion. Election precedes salvation.

They say that soy seduces testosterone. Thankfully, amnesty is not yours to give away. You are conflating interpersonal relational Christian ideals with how states operate. Following your logic, we should give "grace" to all lawbreakers. What you fail to understand is that God gave the...

I obviously was responding to one of your comments that I disagreed with, not everything you said. People are deported as individuals. You deport them as fast as you can manage. If you deport aggressively, some will leave on their own.

If we ever build this wall, as soon as the Democrats could they would cut doorways into it and put out a welcome mat.

Compassion for whom, the black citizens they displace in jobs and housing? The white laborers who can't make a decent wage because of the supply of "cheap labor"? The average age of the so called, "dreamers" is 24, which means that would be in direct competition with recent college grads who...

. . .though they were not yet born and had done nothing either good or bad—in order that God’s purpose of election might continue, not because of works but because of him who calls— Romans 9:11 God's foreknowledge is an indication of His relationship with the elect, not His knowledge of their...

That sounds a lot like rewarding children with citizenship for their parent's illegal entry into my country. We all live with the consequences of our parent's actions.

I disagree with Spurgeon on very little, but on the above he is mistaken. We are all born Pelagians.

The only way we restore justice and discourage disregard for our borders is to depart all of the people who are here illegally, along with their goats, rabbits, dogs, cats, and children. The wheels on the deportation buses go round and round, round and round, and they keep rolling until they...

Of course not. Actions have consequences, though. Firstly, why do we assume that life in this country is not a penalty for these children? They have been deprived live in their ancestral land, so we should restore them to it, and do so ASAP. Deportation is not punishment for a crime they...
