@margovallen You have provided no arguments of any substance whatsoever. Any rational person can see that.

You have not proven your definition of "free will" from Scripture.

Sorry, but you are making some truly fallacious accusations about me.

I suggest you repent.

@lookin4Jesus said, "No David was not Indwelt by the Holy Spirit..."

Really? "Cast me not away from your presence, and take not your Holy Spirit from me" (Ps.51:11).

Seems that David was indwelt by the Holy Spirit, since he pleaded with God not to take it from Him.

I'm afraid you are hol...

@JesusHoldMyHand1 Thank you for your input.

Doug: "whether or not your saved, is your choice".

A. Nope! It's according to God's choice (God alone is free; not fallen sinners).

Doug: "Why else does the Bible say, 'choose ye this day whom ye will serve'?".

A. Josh.24:15 comes at the end of the covenantal renewal at Shechem. The above phra...

@SaveThePerishing My point was Dr. Rogers' misrepresentation of the Calvinist/Biblical position concerning reprobation, and preterition.

Q. Did God have a purpose in the hardening of Pharaoh's heart?

A. Yes.

Q. Was that purpose simply to "knock Pharaoh down", or, "create him just so He could sen...

@chadro777 Amen!

So, Romans 9 is not talking about salvation, then?

Romans 9:21-24 makes it very clear that Paul has in mind salvation:

"in order to make known the riches of his glory for vessels of mercy, which he has prepared beforehand for glory.." (Rom.9:23).

Yes, indeed, Paul has in mind the ultimate g...

In other words, the ability to perform God's prescriptive will (ie. the command to repent and believe, or, the Decalogue...both being imperatives) is irrelevant to the issue of "responsibility".

Second, "free will" ("the power of contrary choice", or, "the ability to choose otherwise") is also ...

"Then I saw another beast rising out of the earth. It had two horns like a lamb and it spoke like a dragon. It exercises all the authority of the first beast in its presence, and makes the earth and its inhabitants worship the first beast, whose mortal wound was healed" (Rev.13:11-12).

So who/what is the "restrainer" of 2Thes.2:7?

Mr. Laurie thinks it is the church.

Other dispensational/futurists think it is the Holy Spirit.

But reading Dan.7 (about the "little horn") with Paul's exposition in 2Thes., gives us the certainty of the identity, not only of antichrist, but of the "...

@R1K2G3

All of the four major assertions of Dispensational Futurist eschatology are completely, and utterly fallacious!

Eternal Fire:

"...just as Sodom and Gomorrah and the surrounding cities, which likewise indulged in sexual immorality and pursued unnatural desire, serve as an example by undergoing a punishment of ETERNAL FIRE" (Jd. 1:7, ESV).

Q. Is Sodom & Gomorrah burning today?

A. No.

Q. Did Sodom & Gomo...

Saying "God is not responsible for anything, including the creation itself" is not a denial that God alone created, for He most certainly did: "he spoke and it [the creation] came to be" (Ps.33:9).

I'm simply pointing out that the word "responsible", with its proper definition, can never apply...
