You absolutely were and I’m done playing this game with you. Goodbye.

Thank you for letting me address my concerns. I am going to be taking some time off of the internet and will get back to study. God Bless.

Isaiah 46:21-24 - Present your case,” says the Lord. “Bring forth your strong reasons,” says the King of Jacob. “Let them bring forth and show us what will happen; Let them show the former things, what they were, that we may consider them, And know the latter end of them; Or declare to us things...

I suppose nothing is really a necessary part of His existence. He could have chosen to not ever create anything at all.

I would say He knew already since He knows the past, present and future simultaneously.

I’m on board with the idea of provisionalism, which would not make me a Calvinist, at the same time I reject the idea that God learns anything at any point in time.

So is our universe arbitrary? If He could come up with an infinite number of concepts, why didn’t He go with the one where everyone is saved, or better yet, where nobody sinned at all?

I don’t think that’s as mysterious . There is scientific evidence to support a young Earth and a world wide flood.

I don’t understand how He can know about something before He decrees to make it. That would mean He learns about a universe that exists, at least theoretically, that He had no prior knowledge of.

No. I have never seen any Michael Douglas movie except for Ant-Man.

You were questioning my faith and you can’t dance around it, or do you only hear what you want to hear? Like one of those people that sits all home all day and listens to CNN never listening to what others have to say. I bet you voted for Kamala Harris, didn’t you?

His will is mentioned in multiple places. Why do you assume it’s more than one?

Where in the Bible does it say He has two wills? Why not three? Why not four?

Okay, I know that I said that I wasn’t going to be sticking around, but since I’m here, I’ll go ahead and explain my thought process. I felt like I had no choice but to be a Calvinist because if God is omniscient, and if God knows everything that everyone will ever do, then everyone is going to...

I have always believed that anyone who has faith in Christ is part of the elect. That has not changed.

I said that I would not participate in theological discussions right now, I didn’t say that I never would again. I recognized that I was placing a theology above the scripture and letting that determine my understanding. I decided that it was time for me to go back to the drawing board, read the...

No thank you, I feel like I have been brainwashed and no longer wish to participate in theological discussions. I will go back to studying on my own and coming to my own conclusions. Do whatever needs to be done with these accounts. Thank you and God Bless.

@Clete I apologize for the delayed response. I have been going through some changes over the last week and in the process I lost my login information. You may (or may not) be happy to know that I am no longer a Calvinist. I may create a thread to explain how exactly that happened. Long story...
