Almighty God is all power. The mind that thinks God isn't controlling everything within His creation is the unreasonable one.

You will abandon what you are teaching if you just find Scripturally sound answers for those questions? This tells me you admit you do not even have Scripturally sound doctrine to begin with. But if you do not have Scripturally sound doctrine to begin with, then why are you teaching?

That doctrine in itself is self refuting unless you have two or three Scriptures to prove it.

Can you clarify what you mean?

Because God granted me faith to believe.

Perhaps he thinks it's selfish to not be fully committed to the idea of having kids as well, so that saying you don't think you'd make a good parent would just be selfish in itself. You say you'd never want a kid to go through terrible parenting like you did. That sounds like the basis a great...

I don't know. But what does "can you say me it" mean?

There is no need to be sorry with me, Gary. We stand here on equal ground. In fact, since you don't have a complete picture, it's me who should be clarifying my position. I don't know if my position is in line with Calvinism or not. Some people here have called me a "Hyper Calvinist", since I...

Great question, Nancy. What if you're evangelizing to Esau? Romans 9:13 ...Jacob I loved, but Esau I hated.

It is possible to hope that God chose you? If so, then I think you have some backpedaling to do. But there are many other fundamental problems with this. Humans have no hope, therefore God does not believe in Himself? How can you make sense of this?

It's outright offensive to those who esteem mankind more than God. It's also interesting you compare the view which says 'God chooses' with atheism. Your mindset is honestly probably the most atheistic I've seen in this thread. You are clearly totally rebellious with God being in control. I...

In God's hand. If God chooses, then it's bad...? There's a view worse than atheism.

No, I have the entire Bible. But that one verse is all I need for my point. Did God put a lying spirit in a man?

1 Kings 22:23 So now the LORD has put a deceiving spirit in the mouths of all these prophets of yours. The LORD has decreed disaster for you. Typical Arminian misunderstandings. Isaiah 45:7 I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things...

You said there is nothing merciful about causing sin, and I think my point was lost. Paul says where sin increases in the believer, grace increases all the more. The more sin caused, the more mercy given to the believer. That is my little point. Whether we should sin in order for grace to...

Perhaps further reading comprehension is needed for understanding. 1 Kings 22:23 So now the LORD has put a deceiving spirit in the mouths of all these prophets of yours. The LORD has decreed disaster for you.

Why do you reject what God says about Himself? 1 Kings 22:23 So now the LORD has put a deceiving spirit in the mouths of all these prophets of yours. The LORD has decreed disaster for you. Isaiah 45:7 I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these...

Sovereign Merciful God. Call Him cruel if you will. It has been established He causes everything.

Wonderful verse! I see our sins being forgiven through Jesus in this verse, so we specifically are not held responsible for our sins.
