Here is the porblem you predestinationists don't seem to comprehend: the "slippage" is really God's will in your theology, so why resist it? Not only that, how can you when God compels you?
If after all these posts this is still your view of our theology, then I don't know what else to say. :) I don't demand that you agree, but you don't even want to understand it. Just on this thread, you're still stuck with the same stereotypes you started with weeks ago.
So, it is my fault? has it ever occurred to you that perhaps you are not explaining your dogma well enough? I will repeat: if everything is God's will then what's the point of prayer, redemption, repentance and salvation? To this day, weeks after you chose to profess this theology of yours, along with Harley D, not one of you have shown any rationale as to why are prayers efficacious, or for that matter why we need to do anything.
All you did was throw a bunch of disconnected and disjointed verses in rainbow colors on the thread with just the "right words" you were looking for on your search engine, but not one sentence that makes sense.
EXPLAIN, not by prooftexting, in your own words why why, why do you pray if God does not change His mind! Explain why we need to be redeemed if God makes us sin. Explain why Christ came to redeem us when we did nothing of our own to warrant condemnation. Explain why we need to do anything if God has already pre-choreographed everything for us, and nothing is our own doing, our own will, our own guilt, our own decision. If we are, as Harley D says, exactly the way we are because God made us exactly this way, then what is our role as intelligent beings. Why even be conscious?
So far I have seen no explanations, not one, that made any sense from either one of you.
IF you CAN explain this, then I may change my opinion of Calvinism as anything but a dooms-day cult. Until then, I will continue to ask the same questions, over and over.
If not, I will assume that you simple can't explain anything, which is what I believe now.
