Classical Calvinism theorizes that God's omniscience, especially perfect foreknowledge is founded on God causing everything from the shape of individual snow flakes to the briefest of thoughts to flash through your mind. In other words, everything means everything. This theory commonly called...

Talking of Compatibilism, I will do a thread on this farcical attempt to redeem Calvinism

I don't think we have any Calvinist schools in Kenya. We have Catholics,Seventh Day Adventists where particular attention is given to doctrine. Other church sponsored schools have little to do with religion save regular meetings. Students form groups usually Catholics and Evangelicals. I met...

I have focussed my evangelism on schools, colleges and universities. Sermons and discussions are the standard means. The question of evil glorifying God, of its source came up. It came up one too many times. These brilliant minds could not brook mystery. And I'm glad they couldn't. The...

Regardless of how much you pretend to be independent, your devotion is guided by existing theological frameworks. So don't confuse yourself by denouncing works of men while recommending others. Hodge is even worse as I will share in another thread. Not exactly worse but blunt.

God determined Adam must sin Theological circus. Was Adam's disobedience decreed regardless of whether God needed to or not? God creating a world with free agents who can/may sin is different from God determining beforehand that his creatures must sin. Think of your your constitution. It...

Controlling what He permits/allows means he determined all things including your horrible spelling. God in eternity invented your spelling mistakes.

I quoted you. If your examples are inadequate, withdraw them He also CAUSED Adam to Fall Glad you agree For pride, imagining they succeeded due to their strength. I won't repeat the verse You need to make up your mind. If God CAUSED Assyria to attack Israel, He CAUSED Adam to Sin.. can't...

Fool is also used in the bible ;)

What is mystery? What I don't know What don't I know? Mystery

Circular reasoning

God CAUSED the Fall. That was His brainchild. Devised in eternity, flawlessly executed by the First Adam with nil probability of failure or deviation:)

Where?

incoherence

Show me crucifixion from scriptures before Christ spoke of it. Or zip it

Then stop trying to explain.
