Which no one is until God spiritually raises his people up from the dead. You should listen to yourself.

Ultimately, it's up to God.

Oh...I have it perfectly; thank you for asking. But you are so utterly self-deceived you are totally unaware that your theology contradicts itself! Your theology induces you to talk out of both sides of your mouth! Out of one side of your mouth, the effectual work of the Holy Spirit is...

Oh, really? So, your thoughts and ways are higher and better than God's ways? You see...I told you would be quite uncomfortable in a holy environment such as heaven or even in the restored earth. What you don't understand is that the saints in their glorified states will finally be free FROM...

Two things about your first paragraph alone: First, you totally misinterpret 1Tim 2:3-4, as I have recently demonstrated in the past. You lift the verse out of its context. You have no clue as to who "all men" are in the passage. Secondly, God "hated" Esau because he was not a "child of...

Your answer begs the question. Why did God predestine people to get a new heart? Are you now saying that man's "free will" is suddenly insufficient to the goal of being "conformed to the image of the Son"? The human will, apart from a heart transplant, is good enough to get us saved but not...

Since when did you come to believe in Irresistible Grace?

Yeah...just like the fallen angels. You act as though filthy, vile sinners deserve hope, options, salvation, etc. And no one obtains salvation before they were ever created. While the elect's salvation was decreed in eternity, they do not attain to it until the Holy Spirit applies it to their...

Who needs a new heart after the old, vile, corrupt, deceitful, wicked, evil heart conjured up HEART-FELT belief? Since the new heart gets you into the pearly gates, why is the new one necessary?

No, they are not. All three of them are true. Men will not believe because they are powerless, i.e. cannot. In fact, "cannot" means "to be unable to do otherwise".

Oh...but I will get what I deserve because what I deserve does not depend on my own merit but on the merits of my Federal Head -- the Last Adam. My hope is in him, not myself. The Last Adam satisfied God's justice for all God's elect. Conversely, the non-elect get to pay the price for their...

Were the 12 sons the federal heads of all Israel? :rolleyes:

I can easily understand why. You don't have much for anyone to work with.

You won't be happy in eternity either since man's nature will be fully and completely and eternally conformed to Christ, which means (drum roll, please....) no saint will be able to sin. No saint will ever experience again the battle between the "flesh and the Spirit", which means no saint will...

He also doesn't forbid men to continue in their love for the darkness since their deeds are evil. He allows them to wallow in the muck and mire of their own evil hearts which they love doing anyway! So...what is unjust about that?

And that's not the only thing fake about you.

But God has much love. For one thing, he LOVES justice (Ps 11:7)! So, how is God unjust by giving sinners what they deserve? You act as though sinners are worthy of God's grace, mercy and compassion.

Nah...you're still imprisoned. It's only Jesus who can set you free and you categorically reject his gospel, so that tells me that you are stuck in a very deep dungeon.

Straw men or red herrings are the only "defenses" they have. They want to remain willfully ignorant! Take CV5, for example, who has tried at various times to make Adam into a spiritual superhero because he supposedly sinned on behalf of Eve who he loved dearly. What a load of horse manure...

Really? You mean man's "free" will is restricted? Better watch your step, buddy, lest you slip slide into the biblical doctrine Total Depravity.
