Do you think that the decrees of God are not immutable? Do you think that when God has foreknowledge of someone that this foreknowledge is subject to change? Did God in the middle of history decide Plan A was totally frustrated by the will of man and go for Plan B? Do you think that you are so powerful that if you act like a spiritual twit that somehow God must move on to Plan C? Is the blood ink of the Lamb eraseable?
Gosh, xzins, it is fun to be a Calvinist. I can rest in the knowledge that my strength and my heart are not obstacles for God to overcome, but autographs of His workmanship for His glory. For the battle belongs to the Lord; the victory is mine to enjoy. I can't screw up anybodys ultimate salvation for ALL things work together for good to those who... are THE CALLED.
Chill! You are my favorite Arminian.
And baseball is even more fun than debating Calvinists!!!
I can't believe people talk about the pace of the game....baseball is the martial arts of sport. It's man against man at every level...and it's team against team at every level.
I have the ball - you try to hit it. It's Randy on the mound 2 and 2 with Bonds at bat. It's a shortstop against a batter's screaming grounder to his left and a spin and throw.
