Thanks, Gamey. I had confidence that an army-type could run and AAR on just about anything...LOL!

I agree. The perpetual virginity, imo, is probably inaccurate....I think honesty demands that everyone acknowledge the POSSIBILITY that it is inaccurate BECAUSE it isn't directly addressed in scripture. But that's a different subject entirely, isn't it?

I've also questioned Arminianism's refusal to acknowledge the "once removed determinism" of absolute foreknowledge.

I think both Arminius and Wesley acknowledge it, but many modern evangelicals have difficulty accepting it.

Any more on your part?

Off the top of my head I cannot think of any other critiques of Calvinism. I'm not saying there are other problems. The guy was just so prolific I can't keep track of everything he wrote.

I must however cling to the Doctrines of Grace . It is spelled out so clearly in scripture that I can't ignore it or explain it away. Believe me, I tried and just stopped fighting. I have much more peace in my life since I went over to the "Dark Side" in 1995. I know that God has 100% control over his creation and that gives me peace on bad days (like when my father died and on Sept 11).

Thanks, Gamey. You're one of the troops....I might not always agree with you, but I do TRUST you.

Go here for a new workup of that Kerry photo by registered...It's an amazing presentation of it.
