Logical Charity? What the heck is that?
The reason you cannot even imagine that I know whereof I speak, is because you have not even considered the fact that my theology is, in fact, the Biblical theology.
I came to these threads saying "this is what I believe about Calvinism, please explain to me why I should believe differently."
I defy you to find one single post where a Calvinist has granted that Logical Charity to an Arminian.
Pick a thread. ANY thread. Don't demand from us what you refuse to give.
Arrogance. Pride. Arrogance. Pride.
The charge stands. Your words convict you.
"The principle of logical charity," i.e., striving to interpret and present alternative positions in the strongest possible light.
I.E., your claim of "pride". It only fits, if you assume that my beliefs are false.
Because if my beliefs are true, then the Bible itself has promised me that it shall never fail to supply me with answers:
In order for the charge of "pride" to "stick", you must assume that my position must necessarily be false, and that Scripture has, therefore, not promised to thoroughly supply me with all answers.
But this assumption is arrogance on your part. It violates the principle of Logical Charity.

Nope.
I am able to assume the Arminian position in the strongest possible light, for I have been an Arminian. I wasn't born and raised Presbyterian, Ward. I know the strongest arminian arguments by heart; they just aren't Biblical, that's all.
But the only way which you can accuse me of "pride", is to assume that Scripture has not promised me an endless supply of answers -- as Scripture does in fact promise to those who uphold the Faith once for all delivered to the Saints (2 Timothy 3:16-17).
This is why I know that Scripture will NEVER fail to supply me with answers. I uphold the Faith once for all delivered to the Saints, and Scripture has thus promised to always supply me with answers.
To deny this, you must assume that my position is false.
But that assumption on your part is arrogance.
So ditch the attempt at "winning a point" against me on this matter. That dog won't hunt.
