Of course I believe in free will. David was saying he does....that is not Calvinist. Calvinist believe they are completely under the control of their god. No mind but what reflects what God puts their.

I guess I was mistaken. I thought Calvinists believed that it took no free will to come to Christ, that they were chosen to be the elect and it was all God's doing, but after that they have free will, but not about their salvation which is OSAS.

All Calvinists affirm free will.

Calvinists believe that you are predestined to heaven or hell before the foundation of the world was set.
It is hard to get them to admit that.
That is why I am so hard on them because they turn God into a monster, a puppet monster. Humanity controlled Good or bad.
Faith, love, repentance, grace, prayers, good deeds....no merit to a person because they believe their god controls them.

You keep repeating your falsities. They'll be false next time you repeat them as well.

Maybe if you slowed down on your meme train, your callow behavior and actually listened you'd learn the truth of the matter.

Besides, you make like God owes everyone a chance to vote.

He doesn't.

And no one votes themselves into eternal life in the first place.

But back to the beginning; if you would slow down your straw man meme train, lose your callow behavior, and listen, you'd learn the truth of the matter. Your pretense no one has dared to answer you is just you making things up and spreading your peacock feathers in pride.

That’s why I’ve had him tucked away. I didn’t know who you were addressing so I chose to see who it was.

lol and still your lies and evasion persists!
When does your god predestine people to be evil?
When does your god predestine people to hell?

Keep dodging the questions...they are following you around.

I see you've only been a member since Tuesday. I've been on the forums for years and these internet sites are where I learned what Calvinists believe (and was shocked) The Calvinist posters I've read are all against free will. You still didn't answer my question to you.
