@beloved57 is the best argument against Calvinism any Christian could ever hope to make. All we really have to do is sit back and let him shoot his mouth off. Not if God is just, it isn't! Now, sit back and watch how b57 ignores that argument. He WILL NOT address it AT ALL or, if he does...

Translation: "...its God alone that makes one to differ, who goes to Hell." Calvinists are literally stupid. They compartmentalize every individual thought in their head! They seem to forget when saying nonsense like what is quoted above that God meticulous control doesn't begin or end with...

I agree that it is a flaw and I believe it is one that can be rectified but even if it weren't or can't be, it would be a far superior system to the tyranny of the loudest minority that we've turned this nation into and that it was always destined, by its very nature, to become. The fact is...

It isn't an absolute monarchy. The king would have no authority to make fiat law as would be the case in an absolute monarchy. What we have today in America, where Presidents can forgive debts at will, persecute political enemies without due process of law and arbitrarily decide whether or not...

This is technically true if you're limiting the use of the term "peer review" to the process that a scientific journal uses when evaluating studies to publish in their journal. To that extent, "peer review" is little more than the review an editorial board of a news paper does before publishing...

The video linked to below doesn't mention evolution but the same dynamic is at play, not only in evolutionary science but in practically all non-commercial (i.e. publicly funded) fields of science (and even in some commercial fields as well, by the way).

Translation: If you're not a Calvinist, you're not saved. No, it doesn't do any such stupid thing. It doesn't do that either! On the contrary. Those who discard Calvinism as the blasphemous heresy that it is know that God dispenses His grace to those who respond to Him in faith because He...

Are you saying that it's somehow worse to point out "Junior College level" fallacies than it is to commit them? :unsure:

Consensus has NOTHING to do with peer review! You have to have known this when you wrote it! Peer review isn't what happens when someone states a personal opinion. Peer review is when a scientist or groups of scientists replicates the work of some other scientist in order to verify what that...

What a laughably ridiculous cop-out. Like I said, the obvious resistance to proceeding down the same logical path is so blatantly obvious that it's surely intentional. Evolutionists refuse to take even one additional step down the very road that they themselves claim as their own intellectual...

It's directly relevant as I made perfectly clear with the last line of my post. Now that's irrelevant! No one would deny a evolutionary relationship between the 1894 Benz VeloT and a brand new Lambroghini Aventador. Nor would anyone deny an evolutionary relationship between Latin and Spanish...

Things garage doors with automatic openers have in common with automobiles... Steel Aluminum Plastic Electric motor(s) Springs Wheels Axles Gears Drive chain (or belt) Buttons Locks Light Paint Windows Various electronics (several of which are IDENTICAL) Instruction manual The suffix "Auto" in...

Are you suggesting that the source is drunk and that the claim being made is the result of some drunken stupor? If not then what's your point? Let me guess, you don't have one. It can be disregarded as scientific. Science DOES NOT work by consensus - period. Science is not an exercise in...

It's much better if you get the audio book! There are two versions of the audio book, you want the older one - for sure! You want the one that is read by Christopher Hurt.

Calvin is a confusing, contradictory mess when it comes to free will. He taught that Adam and Eve had free will before the fall. He taught that Adam could have chosen not to sin and then he sort of glazes over the issues that implies about predestination. He also teaches that after the fall that...

Brilliant point! But why stop with the written word? Every foul cuss word that has ever been uttered, the Calvinist believes was so uttered by divine decree and could not have said differently. The Calvinist's predestination doctrine does not merely include all the mindless movement of atoms...

Additionally, it ignores what came before A! This universe is God's creation, we just live in it and are a part of it. As such, we are His procession and He can do with us as He sees fit. God, being holy, righteous and just, requires the same of us but we have rebelled against Him, the very...

If this is actually the sort of reasoning that persuades you, then your mind is broken. Does the man who's fallen over board save himself by clinging to the life preserver that the ship's captain tossed out to him? Do the children who followed the fireman out of their burning house not have...

I've made it through the first hour of the video and, like you said, his argument is, in effect, if Calvinism is true then God is unjust. He's right as rain on that specific point. No doubt about it. So, Poly, have you ever read or listened too Ayn Rand's "Atlas Shrugged"? If you haven't then...

I'm 11 minutes in and find out that James White is a member of a Reformed Baptist church. I somehow have the feeling that he's going to lose this debate.
