Why in the world would you think I'm talking about crime, b57? All crimes (that are actually crimes) are sin! Babies are innocent of ALL SIN! That's LITERALLY ALL THAT MATTERS, BELOVED57! The very fact that they HAVE NOT COMMITTED ANY SIN means they are, BY DEFINITION, INNOCENT! No, there...

Babies are innocent. Which doesn't say that babies sin. Thanks for conceding the entire point. Quit talking gibberish. Yet until it does, they are innocent, and there's no guarantee that they will live long enough for it to do so. So, the question is: Do babies go to heaven who die...

Video doesn't play. Then again, CNN is broken anyways...

Thanks for just repeating what I just said... So what sin do babies commit to put them in this state?

Except he's not talking about "every natural unregenerate person." (Also, you're spelling and punctuation sucks. Slow down when you type.) He's talking about "we" ... "who had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh," and "were by nature the children of wrath, even as the...

EXACTLY!

Thank you. Fixed.

Saying it doesn't make it so. Both of which are the same nation, just different portions, one being the Remnant, and the other being the portion that was cut off because of their unbelief. NEITHER of which are the Body of Christ. No such thing. Supra. Says the Bible. Israel pursued...

The best kind of right. There's no such thing as "Spiritual Israel." There's only the Remnant, the portion of Israel that trusted in Christ her Messiah, and the unbelieving Israel, which was cut off because of their unbelief. NEITHER of which have anything to do with the Body of Christ...

That's two churches, not one. Israel is Israel. The Body of Christ is the Body of Christ. There's no overlap. There's no such thing as "Israel after the Spirit." The High Priest was NEVER the sacrifice in Israel's customs. This is talking about the Body of Christ, not Israel. You're...

That makes you wrong. It's not a "new Israel." It's just the Remnant! The portion of Israel who was NOT cut off for its unbelief! The problem with calling them "new Israel" is that God isn't done with the unbelieving portion of Israel! Paul makes that extremely clear in Romans 9-11! Just...

EXACTLY!!!

Can a man, presented with the gospel of the grace of God, repent? Your conclusion doesn't follow from this premise. It's amazing how you have to rip a verse out of it's context to have only a small portion of it say what you want it to say, while the verse as a whole says THE EXACT OPPOSITE...

There's only one. It's literally called the nation of Israel. Israel is the nation. The Body of Christ is the organism. They are not the same. WRONG. There is no such thing as "the Israel that is not a nation," because Israel, BY DEFINITION is a nation. The very fact that he...

Not according to Calvinism, at least, not according to the actual definition of what a will is. God's Sovereignty does not mean "absolute control." It means He has authority over His creation. It doesn't mean He controls everything under Him. Except when it isn't... And yet, men still...

By the way, this is a post hoc ergo propter hoc fallacy. Just because thing B comes AFTER thing A doesn't necessitate that A caused B. Someone choosing to turn to Christ after being presented with the Gospel, whom Christ then saves, DOES NOT necessitate that that turning to Christ causes...

This is literally the exact opposite of what he just said, @beloved57. Don't be a troll. No. Man's will being free cannot set him free from sin. Only Christ. You're doing EXACTLY what I just said you were going to do.

@Clete Didn't John Calvin himself have something to say about man's wills not being free? I thought there was at least one or two quotes from him where he denies the freedom of men's wills...

So what? He's right. You're wrong. Which has nothing to do with whether man has a will or not. No, neither he nor I believe that. So do we! You're conflating TWO DIFFERENT TYPES of freedom!
