2Th 2:11 Therefore God sends them a strong delusion, so that they may believe what is false, 2Th 2:12 in order that all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness. Those to whom God sends a strong delusion were those "who did not believe the truth"...

But you failed to show why God will do that. It is not because He predestined it; but rather it is because of what they have done. 2Th 2:9 The coming of the lawless one is by the activity of Satan with all power and false signs and wonders, 2Th 2:10 and with all wicked deception for those...

I don't think what happens in the next life is going to change much in this life. It could if a belief in God were to spread enough far and wide, but I don't think God says that is going to happen. Nevertheless, we need to do all we can to spread the gospel message so that as many as possible...

Destroying Hamas will not change much of anything. The real problem is Iran. And neither Israel nor those supporting Israel are interested in actually solving that problem. Well maybe Israel is interested in solving that problem but they know that they would be labelled as the aggressor if...

Another heretical doctrine that makes God the cause of all evil.

If Total Depravity is True, and men can be saved by a Savior, and all men are not saved by the Savior, then the Savior is at fault for failing to save all. That is fact.

Yes, you are right. Calvinism isn't found in scripture.

It doesn't say that at all. You just dreamed that up. As I have shown, God's word says the exact opposite.

You keep repeating that nonsense without ever posting any scripture that supports it. Yes, total spiritual inability and total depravity is one and the same and both are total nonsense.

Such an ugly copout. Shoot, I can say the same thing about your entire Calvinistic Theology. It originated with Augustine in the late fourth and early fifth centuries. And it certainly is not truth. It is the herectical Gnosticism of Manicheanism carried forward by Augustine and later picked...

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...
