    The Flawed Reasoning Of Total Depravity

    Apparently, you want "the light" to be the "point of conversion" to which the responsive yet unconverted "elect" journey in order to be converted, right? The "light" is not the "point of conversion", it is "the destination of the converted" - they whose eyes God opened and made the choice to...

    The Flawed Reasoning Of Total Depravity

    How is it that you claim one's "choice" to accept or reject the offer of grace is salvation by works, but one's "response" to accept or reject the same is not? Don't both "choice" and "response" describe what's known as "thought"?

    The Flawed Reasoning Of Total Depravity

    Choice is not "works", it's thought.

    The Flawed Reasoning Of Total Depravity

    Only two kinds of people: the saved and the lost, the alive and the dead. No third option, which Calvinism claims is "the lost who have no chance to be saved"

    The Flawed Reasoning Of Total Depravity

    His mercy is extended for "whosoever".

    The Flawed Reasoning Of Total Depravity

    Christ's sacrifice does indeed appease God's wrath against sinners - but only those sinners who accept by faith His grace demonstrated on the Cross of Calvary...as in the case where those who refused to bring a lamb to the door of the sanctuary were cut off, so it is for everyone from Adam to...

    The Flawed Reasoning Of Total Depravity

    I agree. His justice demands death to the sinner, but His love compels Him to justify those who call out to Him for mercy in repentance.

    The Flawed Reasoning Of Total Depravity

    Which do you prefer, hearing "I love you" from someone because they choose to say it or because they're forced to say it?

    The Flawed Reasoning Of Total Depravity

    The first movie was in '75, so I was still in single digits - watching the Six Million Dollar Man, Speed Racer, Popeye, Bugs Bunny/Road Runner, Jonny Quest and The Three Stooges...and blissfully unaware of just how heartbreaking life would eventually turn out to be LOL

    The Flawed Reasoning Of Total Depravity

    People have taken that "preprogrammed" idea a step further and thrown it back on God for the mess we're in...claiming He left a glitch in Lucifer's program.

    Amen! Yes, anyone who couldn't think for herself is the kind of woman only a weak man could be pleases with

    The Flawed Reasoning Of Total Depravity

    Seriously, how could anyone possibly be pleased with the affections of a girl programmed to exhibit them? I mean, it might seem OK at first, but after a few thousand years of "I love you...*beep*...I love you...*beep*, enough would be enough, so imagine that for all eternity!

    The Flawed Reasoning Of Total Depravity

    Man, a whole town of submissive chicks...what a blissful thought LOLOLOL

    The Flawed Reasoning Of Total Depravity

    Oh, i get it. What a dark story! What was it that turned them into zombies?

    The Flawed Reasoning Of Total Depravity

    "Salvation is of the Jews" doesn't mean "limited to only Abraham's bloodline descendants" - it means "provided for the world through Abraham's bloodline descendants".

    The Flawed Reasoning Of Total Depravity

    So, God intentionally compelled Satan to rebel then?

    The Flawed Reasoning Of Total Depravity

    I've heard of the Sea of Reeds. That account only serves to make the story of the Exodus more outstanding and God even more to be glorified - means He would have had to drown that entire Egyptian army in only a few inches of water LOL

    The Flawed Reasoning Of Total Depravity

    I wonder if Calvinists prefer the risk-free ownership of a pet robot dog programmed to show them affection over a real live dog which is capable of inflicting severe injury but chooses instead to shower his owner with his love and affection...I'll bet a bazillion dollars you'll not find a single...
