Not playing...There is alot of posting that we calvinists believe God is the author of sin..That implies you believe sin is a self will choice..that unregenerate man has a choice to sin or not. I do not think most Calvinists would agree with that..Man will always do what his nature is..

We established several weeks ago that you do not believe man has any choice. Thus my continued question.

Whose will is it when you sin?

Exactly right! Unregenerate man has the choice to decide what KIND of sin he will commit, but he cannot of his own volition choose NOT to sin, seeing that he is by nature a sinful being. His very existence is sinful, being born in sin, and helpless to do anything BUT sin. Even breathing is a sin, because he draws breath in defiance of God, even though God graciously allows him to draw breath. Arminians can't handle the implications of that.
