The final sign of defeat is petty name-calling. That is all you have. You have zero Scripture to bring to the table. You have no corroboration for your error.

He is talking about 2 types of spiritual animal in the overall nation of Israel. He is teaching that the blinding of the majority was not wholesale and did not prevent future Jews coming through. There was/is a remnant that have eyes to see and ears to hear.

He was talking about two types of Israelite - the elect (chosen from the foundation of the earth) and the blinded (reprobated).

Great verses. The religious don’t recognize God’s truth because they are deceived by their father the devil. Any religious knowledge or acts they perform are a result of deception. Man thinking he can come to God is a lie of Satan. He cannot. Jesus said in Matthew 13:9-16: “Who hath ears to...

Absolutely. Nothing changes my respect for you.

Bro, I respect you too much to keep this going. We are not getting anywhere. We are both embedded in our view. We are not going to shift each other. Also, I come here to discuss end-times. That is what my passion is here. That is where we are in agreement.

Absolutely. He is God and He knows best. He doesn't have to explain His mysteries to us. You are fighting with Scripture. You are actually playing word games to support your position. It matters little whether it is "FROM" or "BEFORE the foundation of the world." Same reality. Psalm 69:27-28...

God has unconditionally chosen a people according to His infinite wisdom and knowledge from eternity. These are in the Lamb's book of life the foundation of the world.

The figurative thousand years is now.

No, no, no bro. Repeatedly, Jesus spoke of all that the Father has given Him will come to Him and believe. This is divine election. This election is something that the carnal mind reacts to. It thinks it is unfair. But God will have mercy on whom He will, and harden who He wishes. That is a...

What is your hermeneutics?

Yeah right! Everybody does that but you.

Do you believe in corroboration?

After seeing the miserable failure of their previous tactics of name-calling, and blatant avoidance, their new tactic seems to be stating an opinion as a fact, even though it is the opposite to the truth, and then doubling down on it as if they had initially proved something.

Not so. That is your opinion. I disagree.

I have absolutely no desire to misrepresent what you believe. I apologize if I have. I know you're very sincere in what you believe. You are a solid man of God. There is no one on this board (or others) that i respect more. I know that we probably agree on 99% of things. We have differences on...

Exactly. Man cannot heal his spiritually sick soul. He completely needs the invention of the great physician.

You have a dead man coming to life by himself. You have a dead man responding before he is alive. You have a blind man seeing when he cannot. He needs regenerated by the Word and the Spirit first.

In your opinion. But you have shown how unscriptural your view is in every angle we have looked at. Your self-help, man-centered, He-loves-me-He-loves-me-not, gospel is contrary to the faithful character of God, eternal life and to His eternal truth. You have no assurance that you are going to...

I never alleged works based salvation. I do not believe you (or most) Arminianists believe that. I am highlighting the unscriptural focus on man (that is totally unscriptural) and the attributing to him of qualities he does not possess. I find that disturbing. Romans 3:10-12 explains why...
