All that says is that you do not understand what regeneration is. You deny outright the teaching of passages like Colossians 2, Romans 6, Ephesians 1-2, etc. Even worse, you obviously do not understand God's drawing. And in doing so you proclaim God to be the ultimate cause of all evil. And...

No, but then you don't have a scripture that exactly says that we are born a sinner. And I do have scriptures that certainly reject the very concept that we are born a sinner. I can post those if you like.

As Calvinists so often do, you cite John 6:44 without the very next verse with describes who it is that God draws. In verse 45 Jesus tells us that "Everyone who has heard and learned from the Father comes to me-- ". That flies in the face of your doctrine of Total Depravity. One must first...

The idea that one must be regenerated before he can come and believe in Christ is absolutely false. There are several passages in the NT that describe the regeneration event, One such passage is Colossians 2:11-13: Col 2:11 In him also you were circumcised with a circumcision made without...

I don't find the doctrine all that mysterious. We are all soul, body and spirit, that is we are living beings (Hebrerw - nephesh) according to God's creation (Gen 2:7) with bodies of flesh. That was the same with all blooded animals. In addition, we have each been given a spirit (Zech 12:1...

Augustine, not the bible, invented the heretical concept of Total Depravity. And since Total Depravity is false, everything that follows from Total Depravity, which is the rest of TULIP, is false. Augustine began as a Manichaesitic. Manichaeism was a type of Gnosticism wherein the everything...

Mot even close! ! !

Of course it was. You just failed to end it with a question mark.

Infinite is not a very good term to describe a spiritual, a nonphysical, entity. It typically deals with size or extent of a physical thing. God is Spirit. When we say that God is omnipresent, meaning God is everywhere, we usually do not mean that He is infinite in size or extent.

Satan has no control over physical death directly. Satan had to get permission from God to bring death to the family of Job. Jesus has overcome spiritual death by his death on the cross. Everyone dies physically: Heb 9:27 And just as it is appointed for man to die once, and after that comes...

The better question is what is evidence?

OK, but the OP was asking about proving with evidence.

So just repeating your condemnation back to you makes me a jerk, but not you. Being a little narcissistic there Logy? Again, right back atcha ! ! !

Satan has no power of physical death. That is made clear in the account of Job. That makes no sense at all. Why then did God even put the Tree of knowledge of good and evil there in the first place. Why didn't he just instruct Adam to eat of the Tree of Life at the very outset, then none of...

I think that refers only to spiritual death. Clearly death was an integral part of the creation (Gen 3;22) What that says is that whatever you think was the result of Adam's disobedience, the result of Jesus' obedience set aside the result of Adam's disobedience. And the grammatical...

I agree with some, but not all of that. I agree that we are not born sinners. When Adam sinned he broke the relationship between God and Adam; he did not break the relationship between God and men. When each of us sinned, we broke that relationship. When we believe that relationship begins to...

Right back atcha.

Believing is the key. It may be the actual, absolute truth, but you cannot prove it. I believe without a doubt that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of the Living God. I believe that is the absolute truth, but there is no way that I can prove it. In the account of Doubting Thomas, when Thomas was...

Knowing the truth and proving it are two completely different things. God has given us, in His written word, all we need to come to a belief in Him as written. However, none of that constitutes proof of even the existence of God. I believe that is on purpose. Faith, not proof, is key. God...

No one is born a sinner, not Jesus, not you, not me, not anyone else. The sinner is one who has sinned and has not been regenerated.
