There isnât any natural state of man any more with such an inclination.
Money quote.
You are a Calvinist.
Huh? How did we get into this weird little corner of left field?
Again there you go with your all or nothing classifications. I ain’t Calvinist or Arminian. I am Calminian, or in other words, just plain biblical. Put that in your theological pipe and smoke it.
If you really want, this means nobody is perfect any more, not that “partial manifestations” of such inclinations can’t exist. So maybe that makes me Arminian here. Whee, I love playing word games with words that never appeared in the bible. It feels so much like knowing good and evil. Oooooooops.
And anyhow that leaves the flaw that we can’t bridge over, technical arguments over it notwithstanding. Forever falling short of the glory of God.
What to do?
We must trust in Christ for salvation. You don’t have to be an anything-ist to acknowledge this.
