The OP has been revised. The order of some attributes have been changed to flow more logically, particularly in section III.

Saying it doesn't make it so, Frodo! Saying it very simply doesn't make it so. So very disappointing. :( I don't care what you think. What you think is precisely the problem. It certainly isn't what determines correct doctrine! This is how big a deal this issue is... If your reading of these...

No it doesn't. (Explanation to follow...) It would not have been necessary to predestine everything to bring a prophecy to fulfillment. God doesn't have to be a puppet master in order to accomplish his goals, especially on the large international scale. Large groups of people are not very...

By their own standard, they cannot know whether they (i.e. whichever Calvinist is telling you this stuff - doesn't matter which one) are predestined to salvation. How could any of them know whether God had predestined them to eventually fall away or not? They might insist that they would never...

PLEASE read this.... First Principles: Thinking Through the Doctrine of Divine Immutability and the Character of God It's quite a long read but when you finish it, you'll not only know why Calvinists teach what they teach but you'll understand WHY they are wrong. Your intuition is correct...

NO! Catholics don't worship Mary! Move along now! Nothing to see here!

How Would I Describe the Triune God! The format of the opening post of this thread inspired me to give some thought to the attributes of God. My goal was to think them through and place them in a coherent order rather than just a basically random collection of loosely connected ideas or the...

This thread was inspired by, and is in direct response to, another thread with a similar but distinctly different title. The format of the opening post of that other thread inspired me to give some thought to the attributes of God. My goal was to think them through and place them in a coherent...

I'm not really sure what to make of this. It feels like an attempt to make a rational argument where the idea is to say that because X is true then Y necessarily follows, but that isn't what this actually is. As written, it drifts into speculation that Scripture does not support. God’s...

In the most recent Berean Search Light, Pastor Sadler writes a piece entitled "The Twilight of Grace". In it, as it typical of Sadler's doctrine, there are portions of it that are solid and others that are not. Is it just me or does anyone else feel like Sadler just tries too hard? He seems to...

Messianic Jews are funny!

First, the actual number is more like 60% rather than 67% but that's not a huge difference. It's statistically significant but only just. I just bring it up for the sake of precision, not to argue against the overall point you've made. A major root cause of the suicide epidemic is government...

Yes, He is! His name is Jesus! The Logos of God become flesh. Ever bothered to do a deep dive into the actual meaning of the Greek word "logos"? It would be relevant to this disagreement. Of course He can but God is just and so to the degree He does so in a fashion were the human will is...

How do you know this?

You do not believe this for any biblical reason! You don't!

They are in fact both false at the same time. Well, I don't have access to transcripts of his shows so I can't prove it one way or the other but you can't hold to one without the other and maintain a logically consistent doctrinal system, which most Christian don't even try to do. And no, it...

Adam was never Male/female. This is known as the “Androgynous Adam” Heresy. Yes, its been around long enough to have its own name! That's how obviously false it is! The claim that Adam was “male and female at the beginning” is not biblical and is, in fact, a very old heresy. This teaching...

Alright, so I'd have to say that your posts are a bit all over the place and mostly misses the point that Catholics are making when they refer to Mary as the "Mother of God". In actual fact, it's one of the least offensive doctrines that Catholics hold to. In fact, mostly, objections have to do...

@xfrodobagginsx appears to have me on ignore.
