How can the grace of God be resisted by some yet received by others?

[EmSw]

Once again, a non sequitur. I think that's your go to when you can't refute.

Non sequitur seems to be your playing card; no one else uses that here.

 

[EmSw]

Um...universalism isn't allowed here.

Um, that's not universalism, it's called the mercy of God. Is that allowed here?

 

[ToBeLoved]

It went well - although I don't have clear vision in my left eye yet, I hope to have it soon.

Thanks for asking.

Glad to hear it Marvin!

 

[EmSw]

Do you believe in the Trinity?

Yes, why are you digging a hole which doesn't belong on this thread?

 

[EmSw]

And the challenge is still there, if you care to take it.

I've already answered Hammster. Are you here just to stir up trouble?

I only use it when it's appropriate.

Universalism is mercy. It's not allowed here.

LOL, in all those years you miss the mark. Your judgment is impaired. I walked your works ideology for years until God opened the scriptures. I don't hold anything against you. You can't see what you can't see.

You have committed the 'appeal to authority' logical fallacy. Your argument is one of fallacious reasoning.

 

[OzSpen]

Oz, you get so stuck on hating Calvin that you fail to see God's sovereign choice from Genesis to Revelation. It is glorious to trust in a fully Sovereign King who picked a sinner to be His child.

Not once have I said I HATE Calvin. I read Calvin quite regularly but I see that he has some blind spots theologically that a doctrinaire Calvinist doesn't want to admit.

 

[OzSpen]

LOL, I have met people on the street who are deeper theologians in their faith. Your pride goes before you, Oz.

Pride? Look who's speaking?

 

[Marvin Knox]

Then what are you disagreeing with? I said God is not held to time and that God is Omniscient.

No - you said the following.

So God is held to time.

Apparently you were attempting to put words in my mouth to the effect that, because I said that God was inside the space time continuum, He was "held to time".

I did not say that - you did. It appears that you did not mean to.

Apparently there was a mistake somewhere along the line. I believe it all started because I thought you were saying that God was outside of time. (in post number 712) Maybe you were saying that the other person believed that. Probably my fault for cutting into a conversation where I did not belong.

God is both inside of time as we experience it and outside of time as we experience it. If you believe that there is no problem.

Every person falls short in understanding God. How can we not fall short.
Like Augustine before him, Calvin nailed the sovereignty of God in choosing who would be the children of God. History has proven this time and time again as humans read God's word. Pelagius and Arminius were shown to be entirely wrong. This is mainly because God's word is very clear on the matter.

It's been predestined not to be appropriate.

 

[Hammster]

I've already answered Hammster. Are you here just to stir up trouble?

No you haven't answered. You tried to dodge.

But I'll give you an easier one.

For one day, believe you are the opposite gender. Apparently it's a thing now a days.

God is both inside of time as we experience it and outside of time as we experience it. If you believe that there is no problem.

Wait, you've experienced being outside of time? Perhaps you misspoke.

 

[EmSw]

Universalism is mercy. It's not allowed here.

Please quit provoking others. You should know that being a moderator.

 

[MennoSota]

You have committed the 'appeal to authority' logical fallacy. Your argument is one of fallacious reasoning.

Who cares, you still miss the mark. Care to stay on topic?

 

[EmSw]

No you haven't answered. You tried to dodge.

But I'll give you an easier one.

For one day, believe you are the opposite gender. Apparently it's a thing now a days.

I'll show you the free choice I have - I freely choose not to believe I am the opposite gender, even when suggested by you.

 

[Hammster]

Please quit provoking others. You should know that being a moderator.

If someone is provoked when their view is shown to be in error, that's not a violation.

 

[Hammster]

That doesn't prove anything. Which you know.

Which is my point.
