If we change the titles of some of the above Doctrines, such as Limited Spiritual Ability rewritten as Ability to Believe, and Preservation of the Saved written as Eternal Security, we get the acronym "GRACE" and thus can be referred to as the "Doctrines of Grace. " General offer of...

Once again a post of hate, directed at an individual, but changing the subject to hide false doctrines.

The logical fallacy of Personal Incredulity I see all the time. The word appears in the NT about 7 times, always referring to a mutually agreed upon arrangement. If you believe your translation is infallible, there is nothing more I can say.

Yes, born anew believers can carry out worthless activity and lose potential rewards. It is not my opinion that scripture says we are indwelt forever. It does not say we are indwelt forever, unless we overpower God and snatch ourselves out of God's grip.

Posting against the person fallacies fuels hate. The person who shot Mr. Kirk thought Mr. Kirk promoted "hate" probably because Mr. Kirk rejected the viewpoint that someone can change his or her God given gender. What if parts of my posts were not intended as insults, but as loving rebukes...

1) Enlighten means to imbue with saving knowledge? False. They were not saved and therefore did not have the things that accompany salvation. 2) Yes "taste" refers to experiencing something in the now, but does not have lasting effect. Jesus tasted death, but arose! 3) Partakers of the...

Yes! Calvinism claims the opposite of what scripture teaches again and again. Regeneration before faith? Chosen individually before faith. The lost do not and can not seek God. The lost cannot understand the spiritual things concerning the invisible attributes of God. I could go on but you...

There are no verses in Scripture that teach man can lose his salvation, none, zip, nada. All the usual verses address loss of the rewards of salvation. You still did not address the verses where God changes us spiritually which cannot be undone by human effort.

Once again addressing me and claiming personal incredulity. Just because I could not rule out one of the two possible meanings, does not mean I did not conclude it means one of them. The issue is your view cannot be found in scripture, but must be read into scripture. Please support your view...

Again, you seem to accept one translation as indicting exactly what God's word says. But that is absurd. The word translated in your version as "ordained" refers to a mutually agreed upon arrangement. You simply deny this truth, but offer no evidence. As many as took Paul's direction to...

I did not see an "Oops" but rather a change of subject. God allows repentance by not hardening the heart. That is the issue. I supported the view by explaining allow is the meaning in the context of repentance. I supported it by showing how God disallows repentance in those whose heart He...

I see where someone has claimed "Didomi" (G1325) is not translated as "allow" according to his source. Yes, some translation versions do not translate the Greek word ever as allow. But other do. Thus the implication I made the claim up, was posted, based on little or no study. No one, not...

I present my understanding of scripture as clearly as I can. Usually the response is taint so, with no actual rebuttal as to why it taint so. I have posted that no scripture supports Calvinism, except scripture does support once saved always saved. Here is what the OP said: Preservation of...

Does "open their eyes" refer to some sort of supernatural enablement as Calvinism claim, or is the actual idea to explain something in an understandable way? Same idea is presented by the phrase "opened her heart." Calvinism simply reads into vague phrases the invented doctrines of Calvinism...

Here the defense of Calvinism is based on what someone sees in unreferenced scripture. The issue is not what a person claims to believe, but on what God's message actually is!

I think you might mean, to burn down the barn is to ignore any part of God's inspired word. I believe I never disregard any part of His word. Let us discuss Hebrews 3:14-15 concerning the subject of loss of salvation, if that was your point? I assume some interpretation of these verses holds...

The phrase "Law of Liberty" is found in two verses in the Book of James, James 1:25 and 2:12. The Greek word translated "law of liberty" is "eleutheria" (G1657). The word appears about 11 times in the New Testament. The reference in both of the verses in James is to the liberty of some kind...

Folks, note that the false doctrines of Calvinism are defended almost exclusively by logical fallacies. Here the defense uses "Personal Incredulity" the old "that published doctrine of Calvinism" is not what any Calvinist believes" dodge. Note that the defense falls into one of three...

Actually I think you are attempting to claim fallen people cannot actually seek God or trust in Christ without supernatural enablement. But of course you did not say that. Scripture says many will seek the narrow door that leads to life but will not find it. No amount of legerdemain will...
