How arrogant of you. I’ve studied scripture...obviously not quite as much as, lets say, a biblical scholar such as yourself.
I just refuse to get into a tit for tat over scripture online.
Besides, it is this very thing that chase people away from Christianity.
Try humility rather than confrontation.
Never claimed to be any sort of scholar, just a Christian who has been shown the truth.
Your ‘chuckle’ comments came across as very dismissive of desiring to learn deeper the truths of God’s word.
>>I just refuse to get into a tit for tat over scripture online.<<
You’ve also clearly refused to study that which confronts your surface-level understandings of the origins of grace, who receives it, why, and who gets the credit.
>>Besides, it is this very thing that chase people away from Christianity.<<
No, sin chases people away from Christianity. Word-based debate and exhortation builds us up. Just as the Bereans searched the scriptures to see if Paul’s words had any authenticity in the light of Scripture, we must do the same. Test everything against Scripture to see if there’s any merit to it. In this case, the idea that man in his sinful state can ‘choose’ to accept Christ does not stand up against the light of Scripture. You’re refusing to take a closer look, and that is nothing more than ignorance.
I would not have ever studied these truths had God not crossed my path with a fellow believer who confronted my arminianism with the doctrines of grace. Confrontation challenges our long-held and incorrect beliefs. That’s how we grow. We don’t grow by sitting by and chuckling.
