The Power of Purpose

[Skandelon]

My beliefs are not speculative but are necessary consequences of my understanding of scriptures. Therefore, I do not enter into philosopical speculations but stick to thus saith the Lord. I believe that your greatest difficulty is that your theology is determined by a mixture of speculative philosophy and unbiblical rationalizations and that forces you to pervert critical definitive texts that clearly contradict your whole system.

Remember what I told you about how to spot the question begging fallacy? If I could simply say the same thing back to you as a rebuttal, then its not worth saying. Its like two kids saying, "nuh, huh," and "huh, huh," back and forth. Its circular and the lowest form of debate.

It is also what we typically resort to when we can't answer the argument at hand.

There is no way around the truth that "God binds men over to disobedience," which in your system means 'total inability.' You want to say it just happens by 'nature' because its the 'inherent nature' of sin, as if that somehow insulates God from culpability in the matter. But, it doesn't work because of all people, Calvinists, should know better than to deny the sovereignty of God over a particular point simply because it doesn't fit your system to do so...which ironically is the very thing you resort to accusing me of doing...
