Strange things. Edwards leaned to Arminianism to escape embarrassing conclusions of Calvinism:Roflmao

Will do it God willing. Actually, it seems your contention is permission and decrees are virtually indistinguishable. I had started another thread on these terms and among my hidden will was distinguishing these. We can interact on that thread. I'm sure it is not off-topic.

Ever learning but... Can we consult Arminius?

You need to learn Arminianism before digression. Arminianism holds onto the concept of PERMISSION. I've read of God 'decreeing to permit' There is no distinction in the EFFECT but there is major distinction in perception of God's character. God permitting/not stopping Adam from Falling is...

God NEVER ordained nor PLANNED the Fall. God planned FOR the Fall. I even gave illustration of firefighters vs arsonists. The latter plan fires, the former plan for (and against??) fires. The Lamb was not slain before the foundation because God planned the Fall, but rather because God knowing...

It matters not what the belief is not, but whether believing so is sufficient to label me open theist. Look again at what I highlighted, and QUOTE it in full. If you struggle with comprehension I can always help :p

The term here is unwatch at the top of the thread. Maybe my understanding of unwatching is different. Elsewhere any thread I unfollow or unwatch means I don't get notifications both on my profile and email whether by way of new posts or mentions, or both. Thank you for taking note

http://www.baptistboard.com/threads/perishing-without-having-ever-heard-the-gospel-they-end-up-in.103314/page-8#post-2284357 I specifically highlighted some part in red showing what I agreed with. 'Byproducts of a world containing freedom' You will have to eat your humble pie and withdraw...

Back this up by quoting me PS I don't understand how after unfollowing a thread I still get notifications. Share this with the admin.

I have seen the term CONFUSED CHRISTIAN here used of Arminians. I have been charged with Open Theism. As I note, anti-Calvinism is one way to dig my grave. I now now out. Continue this conversation with another bold soul or yourself;)

My point is baiting won't wash.

Neither are you in a position to 'clarify' Calvinism alone. I bee there, know the nuances and nonsensical doublespeak. Shut it

My brother, the thread is shutting so no need to post here.

Wonderful scriptures here but what's your point?

This is a follow up thread to another which tackled the fate of the unreached. I have in mind guys like Simeon-Luke 2:25, Anna, daughter of Phanuel-Luke 2:36, Joseph, Jesus' dad(or so it was thought...said to have died before...

If the cross is the only way, then nobody before the cross is in heaven. Unless you think Jesus evangelized to disembodied souls.

Saying the Elect are not saved against their will is another load of deliberate contradiction..pure nonsense. They were regenerated not against(they were not resisting) their will but without (they did not solicit for regeneration) their will. Once regenerated they 'willingly' irresistibly drew...

God causes your salvation by decreeing as much but he does not cause the Fall by decreeing the Fall. Divine Comedy right here God decreasing and rendering certain the Fall and 911...any difference?

Ok God did not plan the Fall, he planned for the Fall Arsonists plan fires,firefighters plan for fires God is omniscient,He knows the end from the beginning meaning contingencies as well. He does not plan contingencies, he works with them towards his goal/purpose. In the same conviction you...

You write so much, say so little. I know why; theological and verbal circus is necessary to salvage Calvinism. It's never salvaged but verbiage gives a semblance of such. God decreed in eternity to Elect you through the gospel Offers His son, Positions you to hear the gospel Regenerates you...
