Arminianism and Calvinism are not that different

[Particular]

Yet another off topic attack on me personally. Thus to defend the indefensible they use the logical fallacy of ad hominems. Note the change of subject, from comparing Cal/Arm to disparaging me.

Any time you see such behavior, see it as the Calvinists waving the white flag of surrender. They are admitting they cannot defend their bogus doctrines from scripture, so they change the subject, post absurdities and ad hominens.

Both Arminianism and Calvinism contain obvious errors.

1) No answer provided for the reason why it is more difficult for a rich man to enter the kingdom. The fact that we must be chosen to enter is not in dispute, but why it would be harder for a rich man to be chosen. Answer, unconditional election is bogus.

2) First they say we cannot have faith in God because we hate God at all times. Then they say we can have "vain faith" not instilled by irresistible grace. Wheels within wheels, folks, nonsense to hide nonsense. Our faith could not be in vain if it was instilled by irresistible grace. Therefore, the gift of faith is bogus.

3) Paul spoke as to men of flesh using spiritual milk, therefore logical necessity dictates men of flesh can understand and respond to spiritual milk. Any other answer is twaddle.​

Yet another logical fallacy, this time personal incredulity. I imagine Nicodemus rolled his eyes when told by Jesus that you must be born anew.

We can certainly agree Calvinism and Arminianism share concepts.

1) Christ died for all mankind or some of mankind.
2) God's choice for salvation of individuals is based on faith or is not based on faith.
3) Once saved always saved or perhaps you are able to become unreborn.
4) God's grace is irresistible or resistible.
5) God's exhaustive knowledge of the future foreordains everything or not.
6) God allows people to appropriately respond to the general call of the gospel or not.

Yep, two peas in a pod! Both hold correct and erroneous views of scripture.

Calvinism's once saved always saved is true, and Arminianism's Christ died for all mankind and God chooses individuals for salvation through faith are true.
