What is your definition of the word "access"?

Here is a major reason why I do not believe in Calvinism, if anyone will follow my logic. I did believe in Irresistible Grace; because love never fails, and the Lord God Omnipotent reigneth (1 Corinthians 13:8 and Revelation 19:6). This doctrine means that either Limited Atonement is the...

What clear answer? his exhortation to "put on my big boy pants?" Thorns and thistles, I say.

Therefore man has a choice in the matter. If not, then God is condemning people for something they can't do anything about. That is all I am saying. But he does push others forward for no reason whatsoever. (And evidently those who don't bolt the other way and mock and laugh at him are...

I am not in disagreement with any of post #320, except the following: Back to square one. The fact that the Father's drawing a person to Christ is not exactly the same thing as the Father's giving them to Christ. When the Father draws a man, it opens the door for him to make a free and...

Your god basically says, "I am Omnipotent and I am going to put certain people in the lake of fire whether they like it or not. They have no choice in the matter; because I am Omnipotent. And I am going to give some people pleasure in heaven so that the suffering of those that I torture will...

1Co 1:25, Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men. The God I serve created angels and men in His own image...with free moral agency. He Himself is free, and He wants His creation to be free. A host of robots saying to Him, "I love you"...

The God I serve saw a problem with sin and did what He could to rectify it for all who were affected by it. But some chose to reject the remedy that He came up with. It is the goodness of God that is at the crux of this issue.

In your estimation, how is it that Calvinism doesn't proclaim a god that simply wanted to condemn certain people; and chose to save others so that it would sting all the more for those who were condemned; and then put a tree in a garden that he knew man would eventually partake of so that he...

It again appears that you have a problem with the doctrine of Total Depravity.

Reminds me of Jude 1:16 (kjv). Calvin must have thought long and hard about how to make his doctrine viable... And that also reminds me of Ephesians 4:14 (kjv).

Then no one can be saved; that excludes you from salvation...

I asked you before and I will ask again: What does the word "access" mean to you? You seem to think that the Lord did not have a testimony and that He did not offer salvation to the people who lived before the flood. Noah was a preacher of righteousness.

I'm certainly not denying the doctrine of Total Depravity...but I do believe that Jeremiah 17:9 is the best verse on the subject...and that there is no need for the most part to even bring up the others...because it proclaims it so perfectly in a nutshell.

Of course not. But I don't know how God will be able to live with Himself if He does not at least offer salvation to every man, since He claims to be infinite love. And the god of Calvinism does not do that...instead, he says, I reserve the right to reject anyone that comes to me...even though...

I have been doing so. Y'all don't have an adequate answer for Romans 5:2...why should I bring up anything else until you have answered it? I'm trying to make it easy for you... Of course there is more than one verse that teaches it. Please forgive me for being lazy, O great ones!

"HIS" meaning God's...since my version of it is based in the primary verse in the Bible that teaches that doctrine.

On the grounds that He claims to be infinite love.
