Refuting Calvinism Total Depravity Response

While I understand that Mark went through some creative lengths to prove me wrong, they all unfortunately fell flat very early on, because of a few simple mistakes which I hope can be avoided in the future.

When you boil away all the fluff and feathers, I have not said anything that is not held by Reformed Theology. I present it with full impact, unfiltered, and without the double-talk. For this I am scorned. Either I am saying the same things, or quite alot of Calvinist teachers need to be disfellowshipped.

So it's best to stay on topic, or change it completely. But trying to string things together in an Ericksonian fashion while throwing in some comic relief doesn't evade a critical eye.

This is an excellent video! Bravo! I wish there were more like it. What do you think about Open Theism, though? I am an Open Theist and I also embrace Atavist Biblicism, my web is a atavist biblical church. It would be great if I could get a Open Theist teacher to post articles and answer questions on an ongoing basis there. But the key is unity on eschatology, too.

@Aristobulus42

While I definitely lean more towards open theism than fatalism, I would not classify myself completely as one. I'm not familiar with atavist biblicism, and on eschatology I am largely a preterist.

My loyalty and heart lies with God, not your blatantly ignorant 'fathers' who couldn't find their way around a paper bag when it came to solid exegesis.

I have never said man was good without God, nor have I said sinners didn't need repentance. Debate Calvinism, stop the strawman arguments, give verses, or join the rest of the useless hecklers.

@graceexplosion

I have confessed my sins and repented, I have also put my trust in Him for His perfect redeeming work of salvation, by grace through faith, amen. You keep throwing these baseless accusations around, as if you really knew what you were talking about, when it is you and your reformed dogma that lies in heresy. Don't misquote me with strawmen.

Now if you're not going to start giving verses and debating Calvinism, then you are simply a heckler and I have no room for you here.

@RawChristianSuperman If you are a saved person, then you would have loyalty to God and you would worship God. You would not be in a position of defending man against claims that man is a sinner. You see, unsaved people do that. They say, "I'm a good person. I do good things." Now, an unsaved person can come into the church - and never be convinced of sin. They will take and twist the Word of God to deny that man is a sinner. This is why you show an unregenerate spirit. No sin conviction.

@RawChristianSuperman You are not quoting what the Bible says. You reject the Word of God. The first thing that a person needs to do in order to show forth the fruit of salvation is confession of sin. When you state that man is good and does good works as a sinner -- you are creating an oxymoron. A sinner cannot do good works. But, you're not able to see that and twist God's Word. Therefore, you've never come to a place of the Holy Spirit convicting you of sin. Therefore, you cannot repent

How am I exalting man by quoting what the Bible says, and using full exegesis instead of eisegesis? Let's see, I meet all the requirements of the Bible to be saved, aren't you exalting yourSELF a bit, oh pious one? Judging my salvation when you cannot even handle a few verses? You ran out of ammo kind of early,

[graceexplosion]

@RawChristianSuperman I mean, I'm sorry that it's that way. I take no pleasure in noting it. But, you have no concept of God as God. And you reject God being God. I'm sorry, but it's just you won't humble yourself adn you're exalting man.

[graceexplosion]

@RawChristianSuperman Any heretic who doesn't know Jesus can say that. You're not submitted to God -- exalting man -- you're not saved.

And your mama is a hamster......Baseless accusations mean nothing.

Now if you'd like I can show you word for word, verses for verses my previous claims that will send your unholy dogma back to the dark age where it was born.

I agree, scriptures are extremely clear, but you can have an awfully skewed interpretation when you only follow a handful of verses, instead of the whole Bible. Such is the case in the body these days.
