Have you decided where you stand concerning predestination ?

This is not scriptural. At all.

This is in the "Ask a Calvinist" forum. Understand where I'm coming from first. Logically speaking, the question I posed would be answered entirely different depending on which camp you adhere to. 1. If you believe in single predestination, then we can actually discuss preterition. 2. If you...

You don't even know if you follow Calvin's doctrines. You don't even know if you believe in single or double predestination....and you say "strawman"... This is too rich.

So , if you don't subscribe to Calvinism you aren't saved ? Come on man.

If you aren't a follower of Calvin's doctrines, then you shouldn't identify yourself as a Calvinist, and you shouldn't be answering questions in the " Ask a Calvinist" thread as if you are. Double predestination and single are a canyon width apart theologically. You need to figure out where you...

This is a contradictory statement. First, if your follow Calvin's doctrine , you adhere to double predestination. It's that simple. He did. So to identify with his doctrine ( which you have ) then you are. Is this a logical, truthful statement , or not ? Second, if you do identify yourself as...

Romans 9 certainly speaks of God's sovereignty , but not in the context which you claim. Also, I will have you know I bow to my Creator , not Calvin. In another thread you say God gets no pleasure in the death of the wicked.. How can this be so when you follow your doctrine ? If it's His will...

Because God told you to love your enemies. That's why. Now , this totally flies in the face of Calvinism. If God asks us to love our enemies, but yet He doesn't , does that mean God is asking you to be more pious than He ? The answer is no.

I'm ignorant of many things friend, but not what you claim me to be ignorant of. I know Calvinism. I know the doctrines behind it. I also know preaching the Gospel to many , many people over several years. Also, to assume You would take me to school scripturally in 5 minutes is more...

With an attitude like this toward the lost, there's no way you share the Gospel with power. If at all. Do you realize that you were once condemned and except for mercy would still be condemned? Do you understand that Jesus didn't come for the righteous, but for sinners? Do you understand that...

Wrong sir. Man's sin belongs to man and in typical Calvinist fashion you stretch the argument of free will into a smirch against God's sovereignty. It has been said here and many other places that if the doors of hell were opened to let out the non elect , they would slam shut and stay inside...

Having not the choice to be anything except what you are is not freedom of will or agency. She I agree that the bible teaches man is incapable of reaching God , without God drawing , I see the scriptures time after time speaking of mans responsibility to choose. Salvation is synergistic...

Even if those "non - elect" are people we know and love ? In your case , probably so.

As do I. But to try to dismiss the scriptures that point to the facts that the rich man desired for his brothers to repent is not receiving the context of the scripture. God's judgment upon that rich man was Holy and right. It's what we all deserve. No one is questioning the judgment of the...

But from the text we don't read where the rich man shook his fist and told Abraham that he should leave him be. No.... We see where the rich man had much regret...much. Also we see that Abraham explained to him that there was " a great gulf between them". The rich man accepted his fate. He had...

I'm typing and attempting to edit on my phone...yes the rich man is the person I'm speaking of. Calvinists say if those in he'll hard the chance to repent and come out of hell they would share their fists and slam the door shut with them in it. This is obviously not so. We can see regret with...

Free agency as described by your doctrine doea not imply choice , except to choose what the object was created to be, which is condemned. Free agency is non-existent in Calvin's doctrine as all pure Calvinist's believe in double predestination. There so much conflicting doctrines inside the...

Okay... This clears things a tad.. Sorry for the misunderstanding on my part. Concerning distinction, yes. I believe those who claim preterition do exactly the opposite of what you are saying. Many who go the way of God's preterition toward the lost make this distinction, but to me , it just...

I understand Calvin's doctrine except for the explanation of preterition. Did God " pass over " or did God intentionally condemn the non elect according to your doctrine ?
