[Corin Stormhands]

Scripture teaches it is a mystery.

Well, thank you for the first direct answer that didn't insist on rephrasing the question.

However, I would note that when the Arminians have given a like response for "Why does one choose and another does not?" we've been told the answer is insufficient.

But that's just an observation.

And a valid observation at that. You point to the core reason behind man's decisions as being a mystery, and we point to the core reason behind God's election as a mystery.

The question is how much Scripture leaves to mystery in either case. I don't think Scripture leaves nearly as much mystery in the case of man's will as God's in the respective circumstances. But that is indeed an astute observation.

There is one subtle difference on that Corin, I'm quoting scripture, the Arminians aren't. The answer to the question why do some choose and others don't is clearly presented over and over again in Scripture. It is not a mystery.

And that's the truth.
