Yup! (Prove it from Melanchthon himself, ftd!)

I did! You have the direct quote from his work stating that the Spirit,the word and the will all three work together.

You have been exposed for the fraud that you are!

amen! Can't stand them calvin quotes.

The things that fascinates me about the robot god is that his minions like Jean prove their own theory wrong simply by demonstrating stubbornness and the ability to think.

No, Schaff quoted Melanchthon directly, you did not. You have no clue of the context of these comments. Actually, you do since I've already informed you several times that Schaff's quotation from the Loci is out of context. But -suprise suprise- you don't listen very well.

For the umpteenth time, the Loci is not where the controversy arose. Melanchthon was talking about the life of the CURRENT believer. This is simply basic historical fact, ftd.

Now, if you could find an actual ~direct~ quote of Melanchthon -in context- in which he takes an Arminianesque position.... (I won't hold my breath) ;)

"You have been exposed for the fraud that you are!"

LOL! Why don't you ask Grams to send you the info he read in the introduction to the 1555 English translation of the 'Common Places' -that is if he still has the book checked out. We'll see if he's willing to admit it.

He can look here: xxxvii, xl

(Goodness, I had begged him to provide a quote from Melanchthon to back up his charge that Melanchthon dumped monergism and predestination -and he had works of Melanchthon directly in front of him. He never did. Why do you think that is?)
