    Did God create people for Hell on purpose?

    The Son designed and invented the process by which you and I came into existence. That is quite a different proposition to a claim that the Son designed and created every act of every entity that comes into being by that process, even the act themselves that will send them to hell.

    Congtatulations, Jordan. You've made it to my ignore list, because I am getting no rational, thoughtful, relevant, considered responses from you to my posts. And there seems to be no chance of that happening.

    Understanding unconditional election

    Psychosis symptoms involve a break from reality, primarily seen as hallucinations (seeing, hearing, smelling things not there) and delusions (strong, false beliefs), alongside disorganized thinking/speech (jumbled thoughts, switching topics) and unusual behavior, like social withdrawal, poor...

    Understanding unconditional election

    You seem to be in some form of psychosis, unable to communicate meaningfully with people who do not share and confirm your own delusion. You need to get outside your Calvinist bubble and consider realities not defined by Calvinism.

    I've answered your question twice already. This is the third time. PaulThomson said: You asked: Why would Jesus want and desire to do his God's will? I answered: Because that was the plan of God when the Son and the Father and the Holy Spirit agreed to sending the Son into the world in the...

    So, there is no scripture you can point to that my answer contradicts. But you don't accept my answer, because you are not interested in my answer, though biblically sound, unless it agrees with your own opinions, which I have demonstrated to be biblically questionable. You don't seem...

    I answered your question. (Father, give me patience.) PaulThomson said: You asked: Why would Jesus want and desire to do his God's will? I answered: Because that was the plan of God when the Son and the Father and the Holy Spirit agreed to sending the Son into the world in the form of a human...

    The same is true of delusions. You can't believe some delusions before you first accept something else that is another more basic delusion. Which is how people fall into Calvinism IMO. Why would Jesus want and desire to do his God's will? Because that was the plan of God when the Son and the...

    Is English your second language? You are becoming more and more incoherent.

    Understanding unconditional election

    You are still not making sense. Could you read back your own post to yourself, and make sure it makes sense, before posting it? You are posting fragments of sentences piecemeal. It's kind of emblematic of the way you deal with scripture, I guess.

    You are not making much sense, friend. And you don't seem to have read the link I posted. There is what one wants/wills/desires (thelEma) and the plan one decides on to achieve what one wants (BoulEma. God is love. Love does not insist on always getting its own way. 1Co 13:5 Doth not behave...

    In "Deformed theology" the"Deformed" does not apply to the person possessing the theology, but to the theology. If I say your tyre is deformed, or your wire mesh fence is deformed, I am not calling you deformed, am I?

    Yes you lied. I said ""No. He does not seem to be basing his teaching on the Greek. His division of God's will into three kinds is not based on the use of thelO by the Greeks, but is based on Deformed theology dividing the occurrences of will (thelO) so as to make the Bible fit its...

    Understanding unconditional election

    Yes there are two words ThelEma (what one wants) and boulE or boullEma (what one plans). But the nuances Sproul began to explain were decretive will, preceptive will and permissive will. Those are not nuances recognised in the Greek; they are nuanced categories invented by theologians to dice...

    Is Anything Not Predestinated by God?

    But that's all time is. The order in which events happen and the period differences between those events. It is not reasonable to assume that all time began with the creation of this universe's time-space continuum. The order and intervals between events in this universe began with its...

    Is Anything Not Predestinated by God?

    To be fair, interchange involves a succession of events too. The Father speaks, then the Son responds, then the Father responds.
