Obviously the Gnostic Heresy brought you here!

What is "nonsense" is that you defy the universal interpretation of the Church for the first three centuries until the Gnostic Influenced Augustine changed it. You give the Devil more credit in his influence on the believer than God does.

"Sinless Perfection" is a Doctrinal Strawman invented by Antinomians. I have yet to have ever read or met anyone that ever taught the doctrine that is supposedly attacked.

If that's describing the new nature, give me the old! Statistics of this man from verses 5-24: He uses "I" 28 times; "Law" 21 times; "sin" 16 times; "Me" and "My" 17 times; "Dead" 8 times; "Death" 5 times, AND NOTHING OF CHRIST. When he finds Christ in verse 25, he moves on to 8:1 and finds "no...

All are not created on equal terms, but some are preordained to eternal life, others to eternal damnation; and, accordingly, as each has been created for one or other of these ends, we say that he has been predestinated to life or to death. ~Calvin

I noticed that you did not refute Fletcher. Don't worry, no one 250 years has been able to!

John did not say they lost salvation, He says they were never of us,, ie, they never HAD salvation to begin with. No he does not. It is absurd to say, "If you ever leave California, you never were in California." One can be in a Church, a member, attend every service, and leave that...

I agree! That is what Calvinism is!

You live in a closet if you have never met such people!

"God didn't cause everyone's evil, but he certainly allowed it. That us where there is "allowing" in Calvinism." Here is a response to that question of the "allowing" of God from the 1770's that you may find interesting. "A mother conceives an unaccountable antipathy to her sucking child. She...

There are many critics of Arminius who have no inkling of what he said, or didn't say; to include most of those who call themselves "Arminians". It is one thing for me to deduce from the "sin-and-win" approach I see from most of the Calvinists I know, and it is another thing to find that...

From your vast experience of firsthand reading of the writings of Arminius, can you show us where?

You need to expand your reading and influences.

You got that right! You just blew past the facts and had no intelligible rebuttal.
