You obviously have nothing else to do.I bet FreeGrace2's typing accuracy has improved big time over the past month...
Well, once again we are shooting over each other's heads.
I had said this:
But the context was that of believers who HAVE BEEN GIVEN ETERNAL LIFE.
But now, you move the goal post and make it look like I have contradicted myself. I'll bet you stay up nights trying to be so clever.
Once eternal life is received, it cannot be rejected. That's the the Arminians out there (Hi Walter). But those who NEVER believed, NEVER received it.
Very slick maneuver in trying to twist my words. But context always is the issue, even when you guys don't care and are only interested in trying to twist my words.
Your bad.
Actually, it's real obvious that you are quite an insulting person. But that's what I've come to expect from those whose theology has been challenged and found wanting.Much as I know you want everything to be about you, I think you'll find that griff was talking about synergists in general so unfortunately the spotlight isn't on you or your narcissistic behavior. That's not an insult by the way, merely an observation.
Forknowledge would be a big clue.Where does it speak of His omniscience?
Of course not. I thought believers knew that.So not believing isn't the same as rejecting?
Slick dodge. You need to explain what "deny us" actually means.
As in, deny us.....what? Do you know? You first.
Oh, yes I have. But is appears that you just aren't paying any attention.
If you're going to ask questions, it would be helpful if you would pay attention.
And I told you. They weren't picked for heaven, like the elite chosen were. that IS an excuse.
I'm not giving you what I "think" is, I'm giving you what IS.
You obviously have nothing else to do.
My typing accuracy has been excellent since 8th grade when I took typing.
So you really aren't familiar with any verses that tell us that men can refuse the gift?
Acts 14:22
strengthening the disciples and encouraging them to remain true to the faith. We must go through many hardships to enter the kingdom of God, they said.
Acts 19:9
But some of them became obstinate; they refused to believe and publicly maligned the Way. So Paul left them. He took the disciples with him and had discussions daily in the lecture hall of Tyrannus.
Acts 7:51
You stiffnecked people, with uncircumcised hearts and ears! You are just like your fathers: You always resist the Holy Spirit!
I did. And you admitted that Calvinism cannot find any Scripture that says that God chose who will believe or that Christ died only for the elect. And then you added that you also can't find Scripture for the Oneness of God.
Yeah, disingenuous, all right. All over you.
Forknowledge would be a big clue.
Of course not. I thought believers knew that.
I have already said that no one is in hell for sin, so what's your problem?
They are there for not having eternal life. They never received the gift.
I'm going to tell you what I just told griff. Can you refute the OP or not? All your posts and questions are nothing more than poor distractions and smokescreen.
When people can't refute the OP, they have to resort to other tactics, to take the focus off their inability to refute the OP.
What's wrong with being indignate with people who aren't paying attention?
Ooh, bad form old chap! Blaming those who are trying to understand your rather amorphous position, rather than realizing your position makes no sense, or explaining your meaning. Now, can you tell me which of these you believe are in error?
1)Human Free Will - This states that though man is fallen, he is not incapacitated by the sinful nature and can freely choose God. His will is not restricted and enslaved by his sinful nature.
2)Conditional Election - God chose people for salvation based on his foreknowledge where God looks into the future to see who would respond to the gospel message.
3)Universal Atonement - The position that Jesus bore the sin of everyone who ever lived.
4)Resistable Grace - The teaching that the grace of God can be resisted and finally beaten so as to reject salvation in Christ.
5)Fall from Grace - The Teaching that a person can fall from grace and lose his salvation.
Look, if you want to argue that God's gift of eternal life can be returned, knock yourself out and preach that to whoever will listen.Not if the word for gift is the same. And unless you can show that one gift can be rejected, while another cannot, then your claim that the gift of eternal life rings hollow. But go ahead and try. We'll wait.
Exercise in futility bro... he will find any way he can to weasel his way out of any label, even though he is a four point Arminian. He won't admit it because he refuses to admit he believes in conditional election, even though he rejects unconditional election. A walking contradiction, he is.
Strange theology, this strain of synergism.
Not conditional election. God just chooses those who believe.
