Knowledge/foreknowledge explained within a Trinitarian Persona?

To answer how Calvinism got brought into the mix is that you asked me what this premise was doing for me; I tried to explain that I see it as a logical refute to determinism doctrines and in doing so got things off on the wrong foot, apparently. That is why I admitted it was unfair to do so after realizing you saw it as an offense…

I do appreciate your knowledge and I am truly thankful for input, and think I also share in the frustrations generated by not keeping things on track, and having to deal with arrogance, and so as for problems with each other, I do care and hope things work out to edify. BTW, I did read some of your blog yesterday.

My offer to present scripture was in reference to different types of Devine knowledge, which was the subject of the title, the end of post #8, and this certainly was an effort to get things back track and support my case with the burden of proof, I referred to it in sarcasm as “on a side note”. Hence the frustration of having to deal with every sensitivity that another may have in trying to stick to topic.

The burden of proof is on you to make your case. I responded to your query to help you and you thanked me. I would've left this thread alone until you for reasons unbenknownst to me started making all of these erroneous claims first about calvinism and then-days later-resurrecting this thread with erroneous claims about Calvin himself. If you feel this thread got derailed I advise you to see who brought Calvinism into it in the first place. Go ahead and look because it's not a very long thread. If I don't defend dead people against such poor treatment who will? [Sidenote if you think I "derailed" that fanciful post by the "examiningcalvinism" guy forget it. I made a few posts trying to see the dude's methodology, which was quite faulty so I dropped it.]

What was "my way" in this discussion Benjamin? I certainly have few opinions about TTTM because I can't figure out the problem it is allegedly solving. I remain skeptical that it's coherent and orthdoxo but it's not my job to defend it because it's not my position.

My problem is setting the record state when others drag dead peoples' names through the mud constantly and I know it ain't true and they're not here to defend themselves like you are.

Where's your offer to present Scriptures? What do I need to present Scriptures on? What are you talking about?

As to other Calvinists on this board who make God the author of sin they disagree with both me and the Reformed tradition. If I ever saw them misconstrue dead people in their affirmation of such bunk I would call them on it too. In a related note, I helped backup someone's claim that Musculus believed in a universal atonement, which is true. A Calvinist on this board considered it to be a "charge," which is foreign thinking to me because I affirm a universal atonement too.

Benjamin, don't kid yourself that I care about your "problems with me." I don't think you've ever attempted to know my actual beliefs and/or the actual beliefs of Reformed orthodoxy either. Why should I care that you disagree with something I do or don't believe? However, if you want to read about my beliefs click the link below that says good times and read my blog then you will at least be interacting with my position as I understand it instead of your speaking for me as you have been continually doing today. You still think that if I defend a position then it's MY position. What tripe!

I purposely edited that out because I didn't appreciate my own tone and felt that I was being worked up too much over nothing. I guess one doesn't really have editorial power of his own posts once they get out on this board even while editing is still available. Oh well. I don't really regret anything above but just decided that my involvement in this thread needed to stop as it will now.
