There isn’t any natural state of man any more with such an inclination.


That statement of yours bleeds “predestination”.

There is clearly an indifference that you project.

definition of a Calminian:

Someone who is confused or can’t make up their mind
Someone who doesn’t understand the interplay between God’s sovereignty and man’s responsibility along with the mystery inherent in them existing side by side*

Someone who would leave classic Calvinists perplexed at their (the Calminian’s) understanding of Calvinism and classic Arminians perplexed at their understanding of Arminianism (sorry I felt a need to use the term classic)
Agreeing to disagree with yourself

Long ago I arrived at peace by realizing that a lot of the questions of destiny and of choice depend on perspectives that humans are not privy to.

We have paradox here, not the contradiction that you are reading into it. We are destined and we have choices. The choice to utterly reject salvation is also possible.

So I can bleed “predestination” and I can bleed “choice” and I can bleed “self consistency” too — because we haven’t nailed down all the variables.

You call it confused. I call it the peace of trusting God to do things God’s way.

And no I don’t bow to your definitions. I freely agree Calminian is about as relative as cult. I hope it is understood that I see elements of the truth of both.
