By the way, since you have no desire to confront the questions I have raised, do you really feel comfortable with a system in which man's will can resist a sovereign God? Please answer that question. In addition, if you Arminians truly believe that Jesus died for all and desires that all be saved, why would he allow man to resist him and thereby thwart the application of redemption? Please answer that question. Do you truly believe that human will is the lynch pin of salvation? Please answer that question. If you believe that it is, how there is be any real assurance? A person who "decided" to follow Jesus on Sunday can "decide" to stop following Him on a Tuesday. In such a case, under your theology, I am saved only as long as I want to be saved? How can there be any assurance under your "gospel?" Please answer that question.
At this point, I no longer want to hear of verses that appear to support your position. Deal with the logical consequences of that position as presented in the questions I have raised. It appears to me that you do not have answers.
It appears that DmWt opposes the bible, doesn't it? It appears that calvinism prefers logic to scripture, doesn't it?
DmWt doesn't want to hear that it's possible to desire your own child's salvation, but realize that God gave the child the right of free choice, so that that child must believe.
Let me ask you, DmWt, this question posed by Hank Kerchief? You have only 2 choices.
According to Calvinism, when a person comes to Christ,
1. Does the person believe?
2. Or does God believe for the person?
