This has NOTHING to do with Calvinism. The explanation works with Wesleyean Arminianism as well.
The issue is that I cannot explain to somene that refuses to have a conversation.
You want a one sentence answer, then claim you do not understand the one sentence answer.
So I give an in depth exegetical answer that you ignore and simply repeat the question.
Then I attempt to guide you step by step to the answer, but you just want to argue about Calvinism (which has nothing to do with the question or answer) and refuse to continue even as far as step 2 (Why people do not want to die).
Do not lay this failure at my feet. I only came back to this site because you asked where I was and wanted to talk. I have tried to talk, but you are the one that has no real interest in listening to anything. When I ask you a question, I listen for your answer and build on it. I have not told you "THIS is what you believe and your belief is wrong."
You need to get over your irrational hatred of Calvinism. Everything is not about Calvinism. Calvinism just means "God chooses people BEFORE people accept God" and Arminianism just means "people choose God BEFORE God accepts people". Everything is not about that distinction.
And that is what I am TOTALLY against:
God choosing people.
WE choose to believe or not believe.
We are not so totally depraved that we cannot make a choice.
We still have our free will intact.
I talk about the above,
You talk about how we cannot talk.
IF I don't understand you, why not just correct instead of complaining that I don't understand.
It seems to me that I understand persons really well.
REALLY well.
And IF I don't, I ask questions.
I answered everyone of your questions...
even silly ones about me pouring gasoline over myself and setting myself on fire.
Just get to the point for goodness sake.
I don't have a lot of time to spend here.
If you want it to be BYE...so be it.
