In this case, the shoe fits.

Xzins does retreat to eschatology when he is getting pinned down on his free choice musings.

I like Xzins, but this ploy is fairly transparent. He complains of repetition on the grace threads.... AS IF this topic hasn't been thrashed over the past two months on FR.

two months

That's hysterical, Steve. I've been on these religion threads for about a year and a half. I didn't notice an endtimes thread until "two months" ago.

For the remainder of that 1.5 years we discussed the "God decreed everything....Oh no he didn't" subject. Calvin/Arminian.

Why don't I call THAT transparent? It's just absurd, and all I can do is shrug my shoulders and sigh in your direction.

Is the problem here a lack of agreement on the definition of the term "bound"? If you define bound as "unable to do anything affecting any human being or activity", obviously he isn't. OTOH if you define it as "limited by the sovereign will of God from doing whatever he wants", he is. He had to get permission to attack Job, and he still has to get permission to attack us. He is still "god's devil."
