Oh, defining a word which means "all knowing" should be defined as "almost all knowing." I get it. ;) I was just recollecting that being one of your proofs for supporting this concept, which is just unnecessary. He doesn't in many situations. And you take one comment of an OT narrative...

:confused: Clearing what up?

I might take it that way if he didn't follow me around asking me the exact same questions over and over, all of which seem to be out of left field compared to what I just said....and which he still doesn't seem to get once I do explain it. I'm sorry if I came across short with him, but one...

And your defense for such claims? The verse about his not remembering forgiven sin? I've already told you why I don't believe that holds water. And we have other examples where he knows Peter is going to deny Christ 3 times...among many other such examples. So, what should we conclude? That...

That is not what I asked. You can hold that it is not the "sole" work of God, but first at least answer the question: Is the gospel a powerful gracious work of the Spirit or not? YES or NO?

Are you reading MY posts? When did I even say anything remotely close to this... You know what, never mind. I'm not going to get on this merry-go-round.

That is evident... Or to understand him apparently... Do you mean the parts where I quote him over and over again verbatim saying the exact opposite of what you said? R. Muller is highly respected among Calvinistic scholars... Muller obtained his B.A. in History from Queens College, City...

I suppose we could ask the thief who hung next to Christ? :)

Dang it! I was soooo close!! :smilewinkgrin:

:praying: A yes or no, will do.

Geesh!!!!!!!!! Now we are even. :laugh:

Yes. How many times must I validate the definition of omniscience for you Luke? ;) But I will notice it doesn't just say 'future' events because I don't think God's not really looking through the corridors of time as a man with foresight. This is where we concede that even our understanding...

Aaron, Also notice his statement: "the ground of the limitation–God’s will or human choice." This has been my point all along. What do Calvinist believe LIMITS the number of those saved? What is the GROUND of the LIMITATION? Classical Calvinists placed the limitations on man's nature (his...

I'll leave you with Muller's quote: The issue was not over ‘atonement,’ broadly understood, but over ‘satisfaction’ made by Christ for sin- and the debate was never over whether or not Christ’s satisfaction was limited: all held it to be utterly sufficient to pay the price for all sin and all...

Exactly, which is why we shouldn't draw conclusions about God that contradict the biblical revelation, like 1. Omniscience, as I understand it from my finite vantage point, dictates that God casually determines evil, so He must use 'secondary causes' and 'pure motives' to justify such...

Wouldn't it be strange for me to come here and debate someone else's interpretation, presuppositions and beliefs? :laugh: Not sure what else you'd be expecting?

I've only closed one of your threads and it was 21 pages long. There are other mods, so one of them may have closed it if there were reported posts or something. I don't know.

I'm not going to go through a search every thread to find where each individual post fits, but generally speaking you could just about put any of their arguments in one of these three groups. 1. When you here them reference Paul's calling or John 15:16, or other similar passages which speak...

Did you answer the question? I can't tell. Is the gospel a powerful gracious work of the spirit or not? A simple yes or no will do.

Aaron, I think I remember you quoted Muller a few times, so maybe you can understand him and respect him enough to actually understand this point: “There has been some scholarly disagreement on this issue–and sometimes a doctrinal wedge is driven between ‘Calvin’ and the ‘Calvinists,’ ... The...
