FK: "I was only speaking of saving grace since I'm not sure what prevenient grace is good for. It seems to be a completely unnecessary step."

Why did God create man in the first place? Why did Jesus need to die on the cross? If men were already elected it "seems an unnecessary step"? It seems....

Well, we have tangible Biblical evidence that God wished to create man, and implement an elaborate plan for the salvation of many of them. However, I'm not sure we have such Biblical evidence for God wishing to give something called prevenient grace to the reprobate. I don't know where in the Bible the subject of prevenient grace is covered, or where it is distinguished from saving grace.

How many angels can dance on the head of a pin?

I repeated THIS EXPERIMENT five times. The average answer was that 24,677 angels can dance SAFELY on the head of a pin. There were a couple of near-brawls over space, as I pretty much let them dance however they wanted, but we worked it out. It was a fun experiment, but I am definitely sick of that song though. :)
