To: Forest Keeper
Thank you for your gracious phrasing. Now I think I'm beginning to get it.

All I can say right now is I need somebody wiser than me here. I have for a long time personally eschewed "Semi-pelagianism". But then I have to say, "At least, I THINK I have." And the reason was not academic but experiential. Whenever I do something good, I'm always amazed and then grateful. I just KNOW it wasn't me.

And then I flee to my example about the geometry original. That is, there was perhaps some fleeting perception of the option of turning away from the gift which "came to me," but, personally, that was never a live option.

Against that, though, is the real experience of struggle sometimes. What shall we make of that? The psalms wisely say a king is not delivered by his army, but the smart king does cashier all his troops. He trains them.

Okay, gang: How do we address semi-pelagianism? Give us some help here
