That's simple! God's foreknowledge finds it ground in divine Prerogative, not Prescience. God will have mercy on whom he WILL have mercy, and He WILL have compassion on whom He wills! Rom 9 doesn't teach that God is merciful and compassionate to all men w/o exception. Secondly, since all...

But you have no compunction in removing the unilateral conditions from the NC promises in the OT, do you? And you do this because you have no way of reconciling those unconditional, unilateral conditions with Gospel demands. You err seriously because you conflate the NC promises with Gospel...

AMEN brother! Amen! The New Covenant is 1,000% EFFECTUAL GRACE. God isn't a potential Savior. Nor a possible Savior. Nor does he toss people life preserver lines giving them opportunities to save themselves. He actually SAVES His covenant people which are Abraham's descendants! We...

I'm as good at taking "hints" as you are at defending the heresies that inhere in FWT.

Translate: You're UNABLE to reconcile Acts 10 with the examples I have given. And here I thought your all powerful, mighty "freewill" that can will itself to become something it's not by nature would be able to address issues like these. Hmm...but rather weakness and impotence clearly...

1Cor 8:3 aren't my words. Nor is Jn 16:27! You just HATE God's Truth, don't you? You are just like the lost God-hating world that consider the Gospel to be foolishness.

I just borrowed a very popular FW phrase and stuck it up the noses of you FWers to sniff on. But if God isn't a respecter of persons, then explain how he treated the Israelites differently in the wilderness, and how he treated the Hebrews in Egypt differently from the Egyptians and how he...

So, 1Cor 8:3 is foolishness to you...just in the same way the true Gospel also is, right!? Don't you know that God loves only those who love his Son!? And "love" isn't exactly the virtue that characterizes mankind in this lost, dark, dead world, is it?

Yeah, all men w/o exception are "born wrong", since all come into this world IN ADAM and, therefore, have Adam's sin imputed to the entire human race. The fact that infants, babies, toddlers, etc. suffer physical death bears witness to this fact, otherwise God would indeed by unjust and...

You're DEAD wrong! God doesn't even KNOW anyone who doesn't love him, let alone actually love them! God loves those who belong to him; for he is not the God of the dead but of the living.

AMEN to that! One drop of Jesus' shed blood could have efficaciously saved the entire world if He had ordained that! But as it is, God has chosen instead to "play favorites", since he has historically treated men unequally. He treated the Israelities in the wilderness differently with the...

But your windy tome doesn't change the fact that your god merely presents opportunities for men to be saved, since it's man's will that ultimately determines (effectuates) his spiritual, eternal destiny. And that is a totally absurd notion if God in fact is an all-knowing God. If God "WANTS"...

Hate to burst your little bubble here but the bronze serpent incident is a great example of God playing "favorites". You cannot see this because you're a careless interpreter who prefers to read your personal presuppositions into passages. Go back and read Num 21 very slowly and very...

But what you claimed earlier contradicts SCRIPTURE, and I pointed out which specific scripture it contradicts. You basically made a false claim that God's prescience of Esau's earthly life is why He "hated" Esau. AND....your appeal to Heb 12 above doesn't help your case since that specific...

But none of the passages you quoted means that "every creature" will accept the gospel. Furthermore, Christians should preach the gospel to as many people as we can since we, UNLIKE God, are not omniscient. We have no idea who God's elect are. But God does, and this brings me to the next...

Again, what does all your gibberish, including your cite of Rom 10, have to do with your crazy theory that all spiritual beings are eternal beings? Connect the dots for me. :rolleyes:

So you think your lies which flat out contradict scripture is a funny matter? Where in Rom 9 does Paul tell us that God's prescience foresaw Esau's disobedience and this was the reason why God rejected ("hated") Esau?

Is "NO" your answer to the rhetorical question?
