How can you accept something you dont even know about? Doesn't your God still choose where and when people are born, and put some in situations that are better than others? Does He not predestine where specific people will be born and, because of this, whether or not they will even know anything...

Covered in the Bible. Why are Arminians trying to defend works righteousness and their ability to save themselves via a correct decision?

And what about those who do not have the mental capacity to choose? How is this fair to them? Or the heathen in some parts of the world, who have no access to the Word or Christ? How is this fair to them?

Here is a great essay by Dr. B.B. Warfield on the cessation of spiritual gifts "The Cessation of the Charismata" by Benjamin B. Warfield

And I thank you for the same. As for the less than 0% chance thing....God has done more with less ;)

I have seen the same thing happen to you as well. I do believe Mormonism is a cult BUT!!! I do NOT believe that makes you a cultist. What matters is what YOU believe, not what your denomination does. For all I know, you do not agree with the views that I believe are heresy, you simply attend a...

Yeah. But unlike just having a conversation, if someone wants to openly attack what I and others believe, I would hope they could be rational, and give a well thought out and educated response from the Scriptures. Otherwise it is nothing more than name calling, which is not productive and shows...

Indeed! It is the special revelation of the Holy Spirit through the Word of God, and this alone, that can regenerate a soul.

I would have to agree, though I truly hope that is not the case... Perhaps this time we'll get an actual, logical, calm, rational response!

And to make things extremely easy, here are the general statements about the God we believe in; the one you claim is unscriptural, @CoreIssue

I smell with my nose.

I totally agree. God did not design a world where people are slaves, and Adam did have free will. The problem arose when he used that free will to sell himself over to slavery to the Devil, his own free will the price of admission. God did not stop Adam from selling himself into slavery either...

Ok, very well constructed metaphor, and thank you for the kind approach, it is very refreshing. However, here is the problem for me; I am born blind to good things. You metaphor would 100% work, if I were not under the control of my father the Devil. I believe the problem is not with God, but...

Absolutely. No problems here with that at all. Please continue.

Sure, I'm open to conversation. I mean, I believe what I believe, so to be perfectly fair before hand I will be defending my beliefs, but if someone wants to have a rational, respectful conversation with me I am more than happy to.

What good does the drawing do? It doesn't effect me... I have to choose! And plus, if I do end up accepting, I was only drawn because of my merit of good choice God foresaw! So really, He contributed about half of what I did in my salvation! I'M the one that saved myself! [Of course this is not...

What good would that do? I still have to make the final choice anyways! .... but the prayers are much appreciated.

It is rare you find even among Christians someone with such passion! I will indeed pray for him.

So they are doubly saved by works righteousness; God chose them because of their works and they are ultimately saved because of their works?!
