Of course....but their humor has a near universal appeal because it is easily understood. Isn't rule one of humor often said to be that humor has to be (even loosely) based on reality or fact to be humorous? Cohen's character in Bruno is a fictitious character designed to be humorous by...

Why should he? It is not as though Luke's statements are unintelligible except he furnish specific examples....This, to me, is a sort of way of debating, without having to actually debate, by making him waste time doing your research or thinking for you. Reading Luke's posts...I contend most...

I guess it is something like this....only somehow I feel that if I were to affirm it, you would conclude something about it which I don't....(like that I am a determinist again). Most likely, It is because you are using the word "possibilities" and I am not sure whether you mean "possibilities"...

This article is absolutely laughable: as most of Hendrix's articles are IMO. It is so clearly propogandistic and NOT educational at all. Below is only one example of a downright lie. Hendrix is notorious for this. "Restoration of spiritual faculties comes after the man without the Spirit...

Yes, they CAN happen differently....or more accurately, it "could" have been otherwise...it is simply that it WON'T be any different. The creaturely free choice is logically prior to the creative act. It does....those "possibilities" are realized by the fact that they were the onus upon...

:eek: NOOOOOO!!!!! :eek:He does not, I assure you. HT believes that Molinism is deterministic.....I have been doing my dead level best to submit the opposite. I am not a compatibilist....I do not believe that determinism and moral accountability are compatible....I believe very much in LFW

Would have to. On the one hand....I think (for children) we sort of "misidentify" what a tomboy is, which is to say. All children should be expected to be somewhat outdoorsey, and enjoy physical activities etc. But none-the-less, I still encourage distinctly "feminine" activities for my...

UGHH!! Although your explanation is at least philosophically adequate....(IMO). I must confess that I (personally) do not believe that there is sufficient Theological reason to accept the OT view. I believe there is enough Biblical evidence against the OT view such that if a different...

There is little or no reason to respond to studied confusion like this: The reason why is that....despite how many words are used...it boils down to: "I speak the very words of God himself, and can therefore, not be argued with". Walk away......Walk slowly away.....and let him/her post as...

Agreed.........I am also an Arminian. Hence what I think to be the difficulty. Yes, you are again correct. It was in fact the "garden variety" of which I spoke.....but do you understand that the responsible Cal. Theologians were probably at one point merely the "garden variety" of which we...

No, it is as real (ontologically real) a possibility as any choice. The LFW exists prima facie and is understood no differently as it is in any system which accepts LFW. It is a real Choice...it is simply that God can know that choice infallibly prior to its actualization. Necessity is...

Precisely....

Uhhhh....o.k. and it was an equally bad idea to call it that 400 years ago as it is now. Yes, it does make the case that salvation is by grace alone....what I am contending is demonstrated by your post....that "grace" and "Calvinism" are being confused as synonymous words :BangHead...

Thought that was the one....You said however that God needs to DO no more...and I took that to mean God is now the God of Deism, and he is not subsequently interactive with his creation. Acc. Molinism, God's Free Knowledge is essentially the basis of his foreknowledge of actual events...vis a...

:thumbs::thumbs: Agreed...generally. Sometimes I like to use the term non-Cal ony to leave open the possibility of things like Amyraldianism....OSAS Arminian (which is not inconsistent with classical Arminianism), or Molinism. I think more Baptists would embrace the label "Arminian" ....but...

http://evangelicalarminians.org/?q=glynn.CALVINIST-RHETORIC.Euphemism-and-Dysphemism I agree with Michael on this one...It is ultimately disingenuous to call it "Doctrines of Grace" even if those doing so are merely doing so out of innocent habit. (As most I think do). It should be...

:eek: :eek: So that's how it is? Go on vacation for a week and then this!!! :smilewinkgrin: Actually, reading this thread...I wonder what you mean by this.. I think I recall what you are referring to...but I think you might have misunderstood what I was saying. What are you referring to...

Yes, I think this, and the acceptance of homosexuality are two sides in many ways of the same coin. As a society, we are utterly erasing the distinctions between male and female and embracing a gender neutral mentallity that I think to be mistaken. Some people (men and women) have certain...
