If you think there is a contradiction, please present the two propositions that directly contradict. Please clearly state the two contradictory propositions and nothing else. Fill in the blanks:
Proposition P1 = ________.
Freewill proposition P2 = ________.
Let me explain my motivation. In this thread, I attempt a bottom-up approach to confront this controversial issue that has been around for centuries and millenniums. I want debaters to begin with a clear goal (proposition) in mind.
An argument begins with propositions. Without them, there is no formal argument. There is nothing to argue about. This is my only point in this thread.
I do not have any hope at all to resolve the controversy. My only hope is to get debaters to be more goal-oriented in their debates. Without this guiding structure (proposition), they tend to talk past each other without communicating any useful information in their bickering.
My position is this: I prefer to argue about terms that are actually found in the Bible. Since Determinism is not, I rather not argue about that
