    The Flawed Reasoning Of Total Depravity

    Last time I checked, He died for that lost world - and the good news of that He wants shared with those for whom He died.

    The Flawed Reasoning Of Total Depravity

    Let's get something straight, pal: YOUR TWISTED THEOLOGY IS WHAT'S IGNORANT AND PROFANE but unlike you and the rest of the "anti-free speech" crowd, I support your right/privilege to post it, although it distorts the true image of God as He Who loves, died for, and is desperate to save every...

    The Flawed Reasoning Of Total Depravity

    Of course we're totally depraved. "The whole head is sick, and the whole heart faint." I disagree with the idea that God only makes house calls to a select few and that He barges in against their wish to be treated or not. "Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear My voice, and...

    The Flawed Reasoning Of Total Depravity

    What slander? I think you’re confusing that with “stinging truth” - so far, not ONE of you has offered a successful refutation of my assessment of Calvinism as comparable to the same “exclusivity religion” mindset by which Satan ensnares his devotees. Lotsa indignation and outrage but no...

    The Flawed Reasoning Of Total Depravity

    Just like your emotionally charged tirade rebuttal that was totally devoid of argument?

    The Flawed Reasoning Of Total Depravity

    If Christ had not laid aside His divinity and overcome sin in the strength of His God, Satan would have the ultimate evidence to condemn God as unjust for demanding man attain the same perfection Calvinism’s “divinely-advantaged” Jesus attained. Come now, let us reason together - Why would He...

    The Flawed Reasoning Of Total Depravity

    I’m pretty sure I didn’t call anyone a devil worshipper. Deceived by the same satanic logic whereby Luciferians are deceived? Absolutely. But not devil worshipers.

    The Flawed Reasoning Of Total Depravity

    Calvinism is a theological “safe-space” where church goers flee to escape from their responsibility to “choose you this day whom ye will serve.”

    The Flawed Reasoning Of Total Depravity

    I understand it enough to know Calvinists believe “predestination” means most don’t get a chance to buy a ticket in God’s Eternal Life Lotto. Lucifer worshipers believe the EXACT same thing: that they are among a “special” select few chosen to be “illuminated” by him while the rest of us are...

    The Flawed Reasoning Of Total Depravity

    We should EXPECT these men should mention the concept of “predestination” - its in Scripture. The debate is over how to interpret the idea based on whether “Free Will Choice” belongs to the human family or not...whether divine foreknowledge of who would CHOOSE to be saved or lost was the basis...

    The Flawed Reasoning Of Total Depravity

    I didn't make that up. It's Calvinism 101. Besides, if Calvinism were true, then Jeremiah 29:11 mistakenly left out "...and to agonizingly burn with unspeakably anguish the others I predestined for the Lake of Fire."

    The Flawed Reasoning Of Total Depravity

    I'm sure most agree by your posts that you're FAR from simple - like Mensa level far :cool: BTW, Paul says no shame in being simple when we're "wise unto that which is good but simple concerning evil".

    The Flawed Reasoning Of Total Depravity

    Romans 2:4 absolutely destroys the Calvinistic idea of Total Depravity. Look at the words "leadeth" and "repentance": It says He "leadeth thee to repentance" - it implies an accepted invitation to follow Him to repentance, not a forced march there against their will like Jews to Auschwitz. It...

    The Flawed Reasoning Of Total Depravity

    Did you read where it says “the goodness of God leadeth thee to repentance”? Proves two things: That the depraved are not so filthy as to be beyond the reach of God’s love. That the love of God is more than enough to both convince the depraved of their filthiness and cleanse all who accept...

    The Flawed Reasoning Of Total Depravity

    Also, Calvinists aren’t alone in their insistence that “choice” is an act of “works” - Antinomianists subtlely suggest the same. Fact is, God could point to the exact moment we chose to sin that very first sin, whether by thought, word or act and became lost without hope - and He requires we...

    Hi Mark! CoreIssue posted this pic - sums the whole thing up :)

    Why Was Cain’s Sacrifice Rejected by God?

    If the OT sanctuary sacrificial system - with all the meticulous details - teaches us anything, it’s the enormity with which God considers the sin problem.

    Why Was Cain’s Sacrifice Rejected by God?

    Really, there’s several things but “Duty” is probably at the top of the list: God basically said, “Look, Cain, if you obey, no problem, but if not, sin gets to be your boss, but YOU are supposed to be HIS boss. So choose
