    What is Compatibilism?

    Do you honestly think anyone is going to fall for this? You are insulting my intelligence...There's a new one :sleep:....this is on roughly the same level as asking if God can create a rock so big he can't lift it.. (no) I will answer once: Yes, he does, of course he does...and no one...

    What is Compatibilism?

    Yes...precisely the point...who determined that it would be "in Adam" that all would die? Could God have given each man the same choice Adam had? God did in fact determine that the sin of Adam would be passed down to all men. Therefore: it is in fact the case that (at least in this respect)...

    Flesch-Kincaid readability scale

    Yes, so what. What are you trying to demonstrate. It was mentioned only once in that, I would argue that they are closer to the meaning of the original languages, and it is not a particular difficulty to understand their meaning in that...there are only three of those "thee" "thou" (same...

    The "Magic Number"??

    Whoever stated this as a dogma is decidedly taking what might be good advice or even a generally respectable guideline and making a hard and fast rule about it. That being said, generally, I tend to agree that more than 300 members or so is somewhat unmanageable...which is to say, the sum total...

    Can someone WANT to be saved but not be?

    Fine: I submit "eeny meeny miny-mo" No, neither baby is easier to save, and although that seems reasonable....we do not know that for sure. Yes...he will save at least one....inasmuch as circumstances prevent him from saving both....and presumably his greatest desire is now to save at...

    Can someone WANT to be saved but not be?

    Desire is a non-factor in the decision of which baby to save...He has no particular reason to prefer one or the other. Unless there is no desire to save any one baby vs. another. I have no idea I have no idea....but the one thing I can rule out is desire. Therefore desire is not the...

    Question of degree, type, or???

    Yes and that is the gospel....The Gospel is fundamental. Presupposition..also one not even mentioned in eph3:9-1. Covenant Theology is not a fundamental of the Gospel....Neither is Calvinism (even supposing it were true) If it were....then one would have to be a Calvinist to be saved. Is...

    Question of degree, type, or???

    1.) They are not Fundamentals of the faith 2.) For the 798th time, I believe in both...I just don't bring to the table the same pre-conceived philosophical assumptions that you do.

    Question of degree, type, or???

    I just made an argument by more deeply expositing the Scriptures you posted, Icon....:BangHead: You randomly threw in a slew of Scriptures.....some relevant.....many utterly IRRELEVANT....took one of the relevant ones, and attempted to argue against what you had just said and what you are...

    Can someone WANT to be saved but not be?

    You don't understand what I am saying.....I am submitting to you that DESIRE has nothing to do with what decision is made in this scenario....a decision will be made....and desire will be a NON-Factor...therefore decisions then are made by: 1.) desires AND...... 2.) at least 1 more factor...

    Can someone WANT to be saved but not be?

    This was covered here: Suppose Greg was in the New York City subway system and there was a baby on the tracks with an oncoming train. Further, equidistant from Greg in the opposite direction, was another baby on tracks, with another separate oncoming train. The trains are traveling at...

    Question of degree, type, or???

    For Icon....it is whenever anyone poses an argument he cannot answer: According to the Scriptures however, which he was kind enough to quote....it is: Someone who is utilizing fallacious reasoning to deny a fundamental of the Faith such as the Resurrection...Salvation by grace...denying...

    Can someone WANT to be saved but not be?

    No, but that is only ONE choice....you keep suggesting that LFW is the ability to choose ANYTHING....most adherents of LFW believe that there are limitations to what choices one can make. It is not the ability to: Moreover, the non-Cals also believe that that ability (to choose Christ) is...
