I saw a quote that only about 40% or Iran identified as Muslim… shocking if true!

I added some things.

Right, I should just add in Eph, Thes, and Titus when reading Jesus speaking in John… as opposed to just going to the end of His thought 2-3 verses down. This is the difference between reading the bible for what it says against assuming a system like Calvinism and then reading it. Neither is...

No unrighteousness with God but you believe He ordained sin. The blindness is palpable!

It doesnt say in eternity. You have completely fabricated that and added it to the text. In context, the one Given is the one who beholds the Son and believes. Ha! The greatest ones are ones that operate the worldview thinking that people have free will. Functional Free-will Calvinists...

Again, see above… I was respinding to your hypothetical no fall, not what currently is.

Its about the hypothetical you asked, not what IS. Aaron asked: Obviously my phrasing wasnt clear enough. He would still be ruler of the universe. He could still create children. He would have unlimited opportunities. Maybe He would have other plans for “Christ in you, the hope of glory”...

All things according to His purpose. Singular purpose. Purpose to have a holy and pure people conformed to Him. Just read the whole sentence. Paul clarifies it, you just refuse Paul. You just went and made it the whole meticulous world and every will and every sin. Ill just add: does all...

Hard to say. Would He have a different plan that would bring “the knowledge of Good and Evil” and “Christ in You” some other way? But a different world wasnt created, it was this one. Earned Him His throne? He already ruled the universe. He already had them as children. It was Gods will for...

Which plan? The one you are thinking of from a Calvinist mindset and theology, or Gods plan to bring back Israel and bring Salvation? Yes, this plan will be established, and yes, according to His good pleasure. The sentence doesnt end there, the subject is “the plan”. This is the danger of...

What singular plan is God talking about? You just quoted this to say that God decrees everything! In context, the plan to restore Israel through Christ: Again, what is The Plan of His will? To determine everything? This does not say so. To determine some things? Or does it say that in...

I love the BSB and that they are public domain! What an incredible gift to the Church! Ty for this work and pulling those references together

Offer forgiveness to them because He is a father who created them and loves them. You arent being honest about Calvinism here. Be honest… you know that in Calvinism God has decreed that those in sin cannot turn to Him. This is the teaching of your system. You dont get to only go to the...

Sun rising on the evil and Good is not love, just God operating creation for all His creatures. The question is does He love them all? The difference is that Calvinists believe that God created children, then damned them all, then only loved some of them enough to save them. He does not Agape...

He is only a redeemer once the choice is made to create humans. Before that He has love and compassion as traits from within the Trinity. Because he is triune, Love is a primary trait. Correct, might. Sorry, youd have to expand on this for me to follow. James and Paul and John describe God...

You can call names, but you wont acknowledge the truth of your system because you are simply afraid to verbalize it. No, Ill continue defending God as all-loving and you can keep rejecting it all you want against scripture.

You are not addressing the underlying issue which was brought up. God created humans. Calvinists believe he ordained that they fall. Now He has fallen children. You believe that he is loving because he saves some. That is loving. But on your view he is now unloving of those he does not...

No I agree that Christ was always the plan, but that doesnt mean it was Gods plan for Adam to sin. You end up impugning Gods glory and His love because you chose to infer rather than accept what the scripture says. And its comical to think that my view would glorify man, when actually it...

Right, the Calvinist view is that God decrees whatsoever comes to pass: He creates the world, and loves them until they sin. After that He only decides to continue loving some of them. You are welcome to take that as a structure, but its not biblical for being a consistent God of Love or Justice

Its one thing to send a lying spirit to judge a wicked king. Its quite another thing to send a lying spirit to deceive your own INNOCENT children to sin so that You end up hating them. Im shocked you chose to Go with that option as an answer!
