Come on, bud, you know that it isn't a lie if it's what I believe. You could call it wrong, misguided, silly, etc., but it isn't a lie.

Yes, it is a lie. It is a lie about the words of Jesus.

This is what you said: "Jesus declared infants innocent."
Now, cite the specific scripture where Jesus expressly states, "Infants are innocent of Sin".

If you can't, you are lying. You are putting words into Jesus' mouth, unless you can cite a scripture where Jesus expressly and specifically states, "infants are innocent".

And to place your words in Jesus' mouth, is Blasphemy against the Son.

I don't tell lies about the Calvinist Doctrine of Infant Salvation. I don't claim that "Jesus declared that all who die in infancy go to heaven", because He did not ever say those words, anywhere in Scripture.
Yet you will tell lies that "Jesus declared infants are innocent", despite the fact that He did not ever say those words, anywhere in Scripture.

You are willing to tell lies about the Son Himself for the sake of protecting your religious "beliefs". Hmmmmmmmm.....

BTW, you owe me some editing on the definitions.

Only when you offer an OBJECTION to the Calvinist Doctrine of Total Depravity.

As you have worded it, your statement of the matter only reinforces Calvinism:

Total Depravity means that Natural Man is totally sinful AND HE CAN ONLY ever WANT in his own spirit to know Christ DUE TO GOD'S foreplanned divine intervention and preceding divine grace. The man's heart is like channels of water in the hand of the Lord; God turns it wherever He wishes.

I'm sorry, but that's a very Calvinist statement. Did you have an objection to the Calvinist Doctrine of Total Depravity, perchance? Any?

Now, cite the specific scripture where Jesus expressly states, "Infants are innocent of Sin".

I will as soon as you cite the specific scripture where Jesus expressly states, "All infants are part of the elect and go to heaven when they die."

And I asked you this last night and I'm still waiting. My question precedes yours. WHERE IS MY SCRIPTURE?

You "LIE" ABOUT THE WORDS OF JESUS according to your definition of lie. (In my definition, you simply have a faulty interpretation, but then again, Arminians believe in exercising grace not just talking about it.)

Your 893 falsely portrays my 765 from last night in bold letters:

Have the Arminians a one-sentence objection to the Doctrine of Total Depravity?

Yes. We would rewrite it as follows:

Total Depravity means that Natural Man is totally sinful AND HE CAN ONLY ever WANT in his own spirit to know Christ DUE TO GOD'S foreplanned divine intervention and preceding divine grace.

We object because calvinists leave out prevenient grace and the remaining vestiges of God's image. We've discussed this before. My saying this isn't a surprise to you is it?

AGAIN, YOU HAVE MY RESPONSE. That was the condition you set forward as to your assistance in editing the calvinistic tulip definitions. Will you or won't you honor your word?
