"except for one little thing, show me freewill in the Bible as it pertains to salvation. I'll wait, I have all eternity.****"

Joshua, when he was speaking to the tribes of Israel: "Choose you this day whom ye shall serve; as for me and my house, we shall serve the LORD!

If man cannot choose to be "saved", then he can neither choose to "serve" the LORD for they are the same, but Joshua says "Choose".

Which just throws your religion down the toilet.

You have an unhealthy obsession with toilets. That's an altogether different kind of 'transubstantiation.'

OK, I'm really leaving this time. 'Night!

Does your daddy know you are playing around on his computer? Well, you bad little boy, I'll see about giving you a good spanking tomorrow. In the meantime, why don't you go back over my argumets concerning the ontological NAME of God. You'll need to actually study for this one.

You might be an Arminian if....

you think that in 100 words or less you can flush Calvinism down the toliet.

What about Joshua's household? Did Joshua poll everyone in it to see if they would serve the Lord, or did he decide for them?

***"Choose you this day whom ye shall serve; as for me and my house, we shall serve the LORD!***

Hey, sparky, it doesn't help your case any when you misquote scripture. If you read the context of the verse (yes, you too can try something new), you will discover that Israel had already REJECTED the LORD. Their choice was between the gods of Egypt or the god of the Amorites.


And if it seem evil unto you to serve the Lord, choose you this day whom ye will serve, whether the gods which your fathers served (that were beyond the flood) or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but I and mine house will serve the Lord.
(Jos 24:15 GB)

You think Josua's command to Israel to choose is such a radical proof that Calvinism is just a turd in the toliet, even though the two choices that Josua gave Israel were for the Egyptian & Amorite gods and not the LORD.
