Here's your quote. You believe men are totally depraved. You believe in that state they can't accept the truth, which necessitates some transformation in them in order for them to receive the truth. Is it not obvious that the part that is transformed is their rebellious will? If this will...

Someone trolled me and called me a troll severally. I found it strangely convenient that you missed it. Please don't speak for the entire board. Go through that thread and you will find them. Exactly what is the purpose of a Calvinism/Arminian section? I may be wrong but it is to discuss...

Recall you mentioned transformation that makes our drawing certain, and before which we were enemies of God opposed to Him. What exactly is transformed, and is it the sinner's will/wish for this transformation? I'm sorry but the analogy is flawed. You spoke of God inducing transformation not...

Thank you for clarification. Permit me to probe further. There is either rejection or acceptance of general revelation. Rejecting it damns. What about accepting it? Is the Totally Depraved soul capable of accepting it? And if he does,would it save, or is it sufficient to deliver him from...

I'm trying to follow through your statement below. Not sure if its me or you are contradicting yourself. Here; If one cannot but believe what is revealed as being true, then the ones who don't believe have yet to receive revelation, else they'd have long believed,right? And if they have yet...

You need to quit trolling me calling me a troll which is an unattractive habit. But even if you don't, I'm immune to such. Comes with maturity:)

Which means unbelievers have yet to be revealed the truth. It also means their rejection is valid seeing the truth has not been revealed to them. Is it their fault that they reject it? And is it really rejection?

I agree that definitions are important. I have some accounting background and common terms such as asset,income and so forth have vigorous definitions that would confuse a layman. But such academic and precise definition are really not necessarily essential to the layman. He will grasp what an...

Demanding explicit scripture to justify your action or belief is rabid fundamentalism. It figured significantly in slavery debates. God nowhere explicitly condemns slavery so being nice to them is the most that is required of you....So the argument went. We can formulate biblical answers where...

Great point there. I find a single thread dedicated to such a diverse but related topic to be wasteful; it will do no justice to either of the doctrines nor their nuances. But then again, the OP may be well satisfied with the discussion in that state I believe we inherit fallen/sinful nature...

Fair enough. In short,there is need for open consensus before engaging. Setting parameters. You may not bother with methods of pedobaptism but on an enquiry of scriptural basis of pedobaptism, where methods are discussed, your opposition or skepticism to the practice would be OP. On the...

I wholly agree that God comforts those who mourn, but the hope of reunion with a loved one is quite comforting, especially young ones. So strictly speaking, it is not death before sinning that comforts but rather the hope of reunion.

The highlighted. You are both right and wrong. 'Original Sin' unlike John the Baptist's age when Jesus was born is a theological construct. This rends it open to debate. For instance, before Augustine I lack any teaching remotely suggesting inherited guilt. So I subscribe to inherited...

You are entitled to your thoughts. I have given part basis for my belief and I will do so in my own terms not yours. Remind me your stance,I missed it

Spurgeon doubtless found Infant reprobation repulsive. What he does here though is a shameless attempt to rewrite history. Take the highlighted; 1. Assuming his deductions are accurate, strictly speaking, God still damns some infants without believing ancestors. 2. He strains a gnat and...

I don't own posts and most certainly I don't dictate what others do with them. This is a public forum I trust and posts are public. I really wish I had motivation for 'juvenile games'. Trust me I do. That aside, whatever you said is clear, clearer than what you are trying to get across in this...

Esoteric, only the initiates,adepts are fit to discuss it. If you don't believe it,don't discuss it. Wow

Wonderful teaching on the subject by John MacArthur http://www.gty.org/resources/sermons/80-242/the-salvation-of-babies-who-die-part-1 But I'd beg to differ on this; All humans are born in sin. If infants were not sinful, if they were not morally corrupt, then they wouldn't die. If they were...

Me neither Hulk Hogan

Infants are rattle snakes ok. So, do some or all of them end up in hell?
