John 3:16~~
“For God so loved the world, that He gave His only Son, so that everyone who believes in Him will not perish, but have eternal life.

Acts 16
30and after he brought them out, he said, “Sirs, what must I do to be saved?”

31They said, “Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved, you and your household.” 32And they spoke the word of God to him together with all who were in his house.

I am convinced this "doctrine" if fully taken onboard affects the brain/soul/heart in a very negative way.

Yes, your free will doctrine had rotted your heart and soul to the point where you repeatedly blaspheme God and believe you are defending His character. You do this knowing you are wrong, unless you have not read the Bible at all, in which case, what are you even doing here? Oh, well, it could be just to misrepresent yourself which you do often, and misrepresent others, which you do often, and misrepresent Scripture, which you do often. You also support others who blaspheme God. Yes, the fruits of your doctrine are rotten to the core. One does not need to be a "fruit inspector" as you say, to see this.

It wasn't only him. But you made a claim I didn't and your error was exposed immediately. Rather than admit your mistake, you continue in it.

Oh how you love those little traps.
Like I am supposed to know there were others.
Have a good day.

Well you make an unsupported assumption and were corrected, how is that a trap unless it was one you set for yourself,
but you love blaming others and refuse talking personal responsibility and also love misrepresenting others, there it all is...


And all because you disagree on whether man's will is free, this is the fruit of your doctrine: lies, deceit, and blame.

Even misrepresenting the facts of history and applauding those who do likewise.
Such shameful behaviour from one who puts themselves forward as a researcher.

You know little buddy, your "hall monitor" routine really is becoming tedious and exasperating.
Could you perhaps consider "changing gears" and get in the habit of OFFERING us some wonderful edifying enlightening BIBLE STUDY materials that you have discovered and use?

And by "Bible Study materials" I don't mean a punctuation-less paragraph consisting of a tirade of opinionated yet unbiblical gibberish.

I for one am not particularly interested in wasting valuable time stuck in the sandpit of childish antics and banter.
