He can? God could lie? God could be unjust? God could sin? But He just chooses not to? Is that official RCC dogma? The Bible says that it is impossible for God to tell a lie, not that He just chooses not to, but that He can't.

So God is not All-Powerful? Of course He can do any number of things. He has the power and the capacity to do anything imaginable, and even things we can't even imagine.

Likewise, I have the capacity to spray bullets into a crowded playground. But I'm not going to do it.

It is impossible because of God's goodness, not because He lacks the ability to do so.

Because if God must act according to His nature but we do not. Then we exceed God in our capabilities. In effect making us greater than God in this area.

Who told you we could act against our nature? Who told you what our nature was? Maybe that's where the problem is.

Answer me this: do you still engage in sin?

Does that mean you have a sinful nature?

Posted once. Referred to again. Now for a third time. Can any Calvinist pick up the thread where Kevin and I left it?
