Depends on who your "Calvinists" were. . .some are in name only. . .seems you got a bad batch of it... and you bought it.It’s historical facts in Christianity. Calvinists are revisionists . I know I was one once upon a time for 4 decades . I listened to what Calvinists said and taught , not what history actually declared . Calvinists spin things , twist things and change the meaning of simple things like world, all men , everyone , all inhabitants of the world , all the world etc….. to mean the elect . It’s brainwashing .
Which is not an effective denial of the logically necessary implications of his doctrine, only a refusal to acknowledge them, which is not a demonstration refuting them, just an undemonstrated assertion."Pelagius himself said, “I anathematize the man who either thinks or says that the grace of God, whereby ‘Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners,’ is not necessary not only for ever hour and for every moment, but also for every act of our lives: and those who endeavor to dis-annul it deserve everlasting punishment.”[31]"
Pelagius has been falsely judged by his critics
No it’s from pastors all the way down to parishioners. Next fallacy . You are actually proving my points lol.Depends on who your "Calvinists" were. . .some are in name only. . .seems you got a bad batch of it... and you bought it.
Me too!. . .because it was a load of bunk!. . .not according to Calvin's writings.I also made him the Calvinist boogie man when I was blinded by those doctrines .
I’m so glad Jesus delivered me out of that religious system .
No. . .that is the logically necessary consequences of his doctrine. . .which evidently you are unable to see.No that’s the Calvinists caricature of the man .
Calvin like Augustine is the real heretic , not Pelagius . The rigged Roman court of orange made him their scapegoat.Me too!. . .because it was a load of bunk!. . .not according to Calvin's writings.
I’m no longer blinded by Calvinism , the stronghold has been removed .No. . .that is the logically necessary consequences of his doctrine. . .which evidently you are unable to see.

Previously addressed. . .I think that is the same thing "seeing" the kingdom of God and "being" in the kingdom of God.
Previously addressed. . .
However, they are not the same according to the meaning of the language. . .
"seeing" (being acquainted with) and "being in" do not mean the same thing.
So you believe Pelagius' philosophical free will for fallen man. . .that he is able to make all moral choices, contrary to 1 Corinthians 2:14; Romans 8:7-8?Calvin like Augustine is the real heretic , not Pelagius . The rigged Roman court of orange made him their scapegoat.
I'm not in a position to say, because it matters not to me, what matters to me is what the Scriptures present.I hardly know what Pelagius taught. I have just read what people say. But it's not that important anyway. Much more important is what the Early Church Fathers taught about free will. Was it in line with Calvin or more in line with Arminius?
Who made that rule?Well, it depends of how the Bible uses the language.
Which is precisely why Jesus says you cannot see (be acquainted with) the kingdom of God unless you are first born again.Can I really be acquainted with a car without entering it and driving it?
Where is bondage of the will in the Bible ?I'm not in a position to say, because it matters not to me, what matters to me is what the Scriptures present.
It's in the chapter after the "sovereignty" of God, and before the "Trinity," somewhere in the area ofWhere is bondage of the will in the Bible ?
