Jengy, I answered your question by showing you both Romans 5:1 and Ephesians 2:8 so you would realize that faith is a gift from God, not a work from men.
Romans 5:1 condemns you and your false narrative.
I find your anger and bitterness regarding God's Sovereignty to be quite interesting. That kind of hostility, bitterness and gnashing of teeth...in multiple threads...reveals a deeper problem. In all sincerity, I hope you are receiving counseling.
Neither Romans 5:1, nor Ephesians 2:8, teach that faith is a gift from God.
And, I'll never agree with you that faith is a work, either.
Now, exactly
which one of the six questions that I asked you in post #45 are you, in post #49, saying (and therefore,
lying) that you answered? You have answered
none of the questions I asked you. I'll list them, here, so that you can get your kicks from stonewalling against them a second time, and then from lying some more:
Why would you write "jengy"?
No answer from you.
Why do you spit upon justification through faith?
No answer from you.
Why do you, in agreement with beloved57, believe that people are justified without faith?
No answer from you.
Through what would you say one receives the "grace of faith"?
No answer from you.
Through what would you say one receives the "grace of regeneration"?
No answer from you.
Why are you so given over to irrationality?
No answer from you.
So, as usual, you lie to me, saying that you answered a question I asked you. Well,
which one of those five questions were you, in post #49, telling me you answered?
And,
why do you lie to me? Here's why: because you hate my guts. And,
why do you hate my guts? Because, as you, and I, and everybody else who has read our posts, know, you have
never answered any of the questions that I have asked you; because, as you and I both know, you can't even
try, honestly, to answer them, without continuing to embarrass Calvinism and yourself. You hate my guts, and
that's why you are constantly spamming my posts, and the threads that I have started, never answering the questions I ask you, and never posting anything the least bit relevant to what I have written. You hate my guts, and that's why you have publicly expressed your venomous desire for me to get banned from posting on TOL:
It would be thrilling if the mods were courageous enough to ban you because of this comment. Will they? Probably not.
It's not like it has been a task of any difficulty, to sound you out in these forums for the troll you are. I mean, come on, man, you and I both know that virtually
nobody reading TOL takes posters (and posers) like you, and beloved57, seriously. We all know that the height and depth and breadth of your polemic "abilities" is plainly seen in your ravings, in your irrelevant remarks, in your incessant, over-and-over, and meaningless, copy/pasting of Scripture passages, and in your posting external links to irrelevant sources in vain hope of distracting readers from the fact that
you can't reason for yourself, and think on your own feet. How obviously pathetic it is, that
all you could think to do in reacting to this thread about one of Calvinism's most famous hypocrites, Jonathan Edwards, is to repeatedly post a link to the very sermon of his which, in this thread, I have shined light on his Calvinistic hypocrisy!
I don't even consider to be trolls, all those posting on here professing to cherish Calvinism. For instance, take Ask Mr. Religion; he can't answer my questions, and he can't defend what is Scripturally/rationally indefensible, and yet, he's a fairly refined gentleman, pretty sharp at English, and no troll, and he sometimes writes (or links to) some interesting, useful stuff. But, he doesn't usually come across as exceedingly boorish, and he doesn't spam people, like you and beloved57. Let me put it this way: by comparison, he (and others) does not appear to be begging for attention, like you and beloved57 are doing. Not only are your posts irrelevant, but they're not even the least bit interesting, or original. Nobody ever thinks, "Oh, I wonder if MennoSota has posted something fresh, relevant, and thought-provoking today!" And, beloved57, himself, even has it better than you have it:
he, at least, has a parrot named "Nanja" sitting on his shoulder, thanking him for every one his posted ravings 24/7. Maybe
that's what you need, eh?
Anyway, MennoSota, again,
why do you spit on justification through faith by holding, in agreement with beloved57, that people are justified
without faith?
Oh, also, MennoSota,
why is it that I, freely, as a
grownup, address
you by your user handle, but you--the keyboard hero that you are--being quite a few years my senior, address
me by means of some puerile noise you came up with: "jengy"? You behave toward me in the same manner as does Idolater:
What's your theology again, Django? Just try to answer. You don't even actually have to answer at this point, just try to.
There, for instance, he tried to vent his wrathful hatred of me by calling me "Django", instead of 7djengo7, and here as "Jenga":
What is your theology again, Jenga?
But, MennoSota, that's what keyboard warriors like you and Idolater are forced to do.
