Who do I blame?

[AndOne]

It's just not fair that I have blue eyes! By golly I don't want blue eye! It's a horrible injustice that I was born with blue eyes. Whose fault is that?!!!

And while I'm at it why do I have freckles on my left knee?!! That is bloody not fair! Who do I blame for that? What an injustice that I was born with freckles on my knee.

And by golly why did I not get rich parents? Why did I not get a choice in that. How blasted unfair and unjust...


I hope the point of my sarcasm doesn't fly over the head of synergists...

All those things have nothing to do with our personal choice in salvation.

Cute, but I think you're mixing apples and oranges. There is no moral or ethical component to anything you listed there. Any circumstance in which we are born, any advantage or deficit, is a circumstance by which God may well call us to himself. They may be "thorns in the flesh" by which we overcome our pride and cease to yield to our self-love and worldly passions.

All are called to serve God in whatever circumstances they are placed.

OK, enough whining. Now, please explain the so-called "injustice" because you have blue eyes. If you can't, there was no injustice.

And while I'm at it why do I have freckles on my left knee?!! That is bloody not fair! Who do I blame for that? What an injustice that I was born with freckles on my knee.

Please explain what's not "fair" about freckles anywhere on your body? If you can't, there was no unfairness.

And by golly why did I not get rich parents? Why did I not get a choice in that. How blasted unfair and unjust...

Please explain the unfairness in that. If you can.

I don't care about what they believe. The serious point is that because of the fall of Adam, many are born with very serious physical and mental disabilities, which you didn't mention. But some really do see that as unfairness on the part of God.

So, what's the answer? Just tough?? No, not at all. The answer is that because of Adam's fall, he corrupted the human race. We all have defects of one kind or another: color of eyes, freckles, physical and mental disabilities. If you want to lay blame on someone, don't look to God. Look to Adam, who caused all the problems for mankind.

What's wrong with being a synergist? You act as if it is some kind of disease.

Why wouldn't I be honest about it?

Trying to see where you're going with this thread.

Your fellow synergist Freegrace2 is not honest about it. He claims to not be a synergist.

I've been very honest, and proved that I'm not one; by one of your websites, no less. So what do you and all your friends do? You throw it under the bus and claim that's not your definition of synergism.

So don't talk about who isn't being honest here.
