>>The same reason you ping the prot posse, and the fact that he does a much better job of dismantling your ludicrous belief in OSAS argument than I could.<<

The belief that OSAS is “ludicrous” demands that you believe that man is responsible for and thereby earns his own salvation. Is that what you believe?

“The belief that OSAS is “ludicrous” demands that you believe that man is responsible for and thereby earns his own salvation. Is that what you believe?”

Straw man. All that denial of the heretical doctrine of OSAS would imply is admission that we can sin our way out of a saved condition - in other words we reject Christ and the gifts He has given us in exchange for worldly pleasures. It in no way implies that a man believes he can earn his salvation. Dan Corner, a Protestant who absolutely denies OSAS, in no way believes he earns his own salvation. And I agree with entirely on that point. Thus, your point is clearly a straw man as it is not only logically flawed but demonstratively proved false by actual beliefs held by people who reject OSAS.

I'm sorry I don't fall into logical fallacy of false dichotomy.
