I don't know how powerful this argument is meant to be...but if it is designed to be something of a play on words...if the intention is to out-smart him by an equivocation between the word "divide" and "split" which only has signifigance to the Western mind if at all...Allow me to Rob you blind...

[snipped entire post with caveat to "grow up"]

......Yes....

......I know

Possible answer to the question: Easily...If you can differentiate between the "content" of a belief and the knowledge that a "fact" merely exists...how stupid do you think God is???? Those are two separate truths: 1.) There is a "truth-value" to what will occur and 2.) What the...

JBH...I am truly extatic whenever you weigh in....and I hate this....but...even though I (who basically agrees with you), this answer is not sufficient. I am a devotee of exhaustive foreknowledge myself...but....I feel compelled to do the dissenters job for them:

Yes.....indeed, I have preached this one before read it again: This verse is speaking of those who are actually "accustomed" to do evil....or do I mis-quote God here....this does not prove Original Sin....it only states that those who are "accustomed"....have/posses a nature to engage in...

This may in fact, be true.........but it is not "wrong" as you said...THIS VERSE does not SAY THAT. You are required, sir, to show us, from Scripture, where that is stated....it is NOT in THIS verse. I do not deny Original Sin....but you and O.R. are using this verse to demonstrate it...What...

They also went to great length and pains to demonstrate that the Baptism of infants was Scriptural and the theology of the early church....thus, any "appeal to authority" http://www.nizkor.org/features/fallacies/appeal-to-authority.html is useless in these discussions unless one is able to...

Welcome to BB!! By the way....what Moron actually believes that particular idea the inestimable Mr. Toplady just stated?? Did anyone (of note) ever claim that? Does Mr. Toplady know of any respectable Arminian or non-Cal Theologians who claim this? Can he quote them? Just curious.....sort of.

Not to put too fine a point on it....but NONE of these passages (strictly speaking) teach "Original Sin" I do not say that "O.S." is false...but consider them all: This verse CLEARLY teaches that ALL men are indeed sinful, and have failed and have sinned....Pelagius himself, is, in fact, on...

I find this to be an interesting discussion....While, I am decidedly of the opinion that God never "learns" anything, and therefore take the position that his Omniscience is indeed exhaustive...I do not find the position of those who disagree to be mere "heresy" etc...Consider: Christ himself...

AHHH!! Yes...precisely...that is to say, at least in vs. two. Henry Morris' book "The Genesis Record" discusses that in some detail....I just taught on that in S.S. last Sunday!!! The Spirit "moved" (shook, fluttered, vibrated...) to make the "formless and void" Earth take on it's "compass...

Where did you get that definition of time? Granted...time is ostensibly impossible to define without assuming it, see your quote: this assumes a definition of existing time. I have never heard of it defined like this though. That being said...I have learned to define it as: that measure...

Precisely.....:thumbsup::thumbs: they proved you admirably correct. They recoiled from Scripture like witches from water. I found it very telling and revealing. They HATED your posting of Scripture Ben...they HATED it!!!!

That was my thought as well. I thought the thread to be a great idea....GIVE THEM THE SCRIPTIRES!!! This would, at least, take away the "you aren't using Scripture" canard....Some non-Cals then try to oblige. I was going to throw a couple of Scriptures in myself...And then it gets shut...
