Can We Really Exercise Free Will?

[HeIsHere]

My sanity is not in question.
Yours? Filled with episodes of irrationality like this.....

"it (FAITH) results from the choice of man"

I have learned, especially from @Cameron143 it is the art of double speak.

It's inane, as if reformed theology doesn't include repentance. You did order the medi-vac, right?

The movie “A Few Good Men” had a very memorable line “You can't Handle The Truth”.
That statement seems to apply to FWers as well!

"You can't handle the truth" means that someone is incapable of accepting or processing difficult, unpleasant, or uncomfortable facts, often because it challenges their beliefs, expectations, or self-image.

It does, it fits in perfectly with the Gospel of NON-Responsibilty.

III. Repentance Is a Gift From God

Last week we saw that saving faith is a gift of God, so we should not be surprised that repentance from sin, which is also essential to salvation, is a gift of God as well. We shall briefly consider three passages which teach this concept. The first comes from the defense of Peter before the Sanhedrin:
NKJ Acts 5:31 Him [the Lord Jesus] God has exalted to His right hand to be Prince and Savior, to give [δίδωμι, dídōmi] repentance [μετάνοια, metánoia] to Israel and forgiveness of sins.

The Baptist Churches have been taken over.

LOL.. too funny, same proof text used here on CC.

Is it a conspiracy, some kind of hive mind?

Have you never heard of a Godly sorrow that works repentance? Whatever you make of it, as @Magenta stated, we are all accountable to God.
Not really sure why I continue to explain things to you given you will reject what scripture explicitly states.

How about you stick to one topic >>>>>> soteriology.
I reject what is off topic.

"God has granted to the Gentiles also the repentance that leads to life". Acts 11 v 18

What is your preferred twisting of this verse to make it say what you want to fit your presups?

How about you stick to one topic >>>>>> soteriology.

.Now that was a load.

What you learned was dishonesty, and that certainly didn't come from me. Just look at how @cv5 continues to misrepresent my post by taking a phrase from it and saying that represents the intention of my post. Evidently, you are joining him in his deceit. Is that part of your doctrine?

Thanks for dumbing it down for me.

That is nothing new and has been going on for quite some time.

When he says truly vile things blaspheming God, she supports him.

When others say things she does not like about her or people she sides with, she calls it vile.

We can see where her loyalties are.

Her vain self-exalting loyalties.

Repentance isn't a part of salvation. Who knew?

It's like there is no line they won't cross. Dishonesty just oozes from them.

Truly, the whining is epic and endless.

"It never really was much of a challenge as your weapons of debate consist mainly of whining, childish rants, embarrassing attempts at exegesis and infantile absurdities."

Meh, I already tried to explain several times that words like salvation/death/perish/destruction have different applications/meaning depending on the context, it really went nowhere as per usual.

"It never really was much of a challenge as your weapons of debate consist mainly of whining, childish rants, embarrassing attempts at exegesis and infantile absurdities."

So very spot on.

I also find it rather amusing how they live up to the stereotype.
The internet is filled with it.

No dishonesty though. Maybe if you were more honest, those other criticisms might fall away from your opinion.

No one believes a liar except other liars.

You do see the irony right.

Yes. The internet is full of people like you. Living up to your stereotype and all that...

Quite ironic.

Sure, you think you are a teacher but you are not telling us anything we do not already know.

And besides that, half of what you say cannot be believed anyways. Now that is just a guess.

It could be more.

 

[HeIsHere]

This is more of your dishonesty. It's why you don't post the entire post. It would show your deceit. Better up your dosage.

I see nothing deceitful. I think he was drawing attention to this one part.
Actually you are misrepresenting me and my view of saving faith here which I did not see til I went to retrieve the post.
Should I call you a liar now?

Actually, faith is a work according to you, as you say it results from the choice of man. Those who recognize that faith is a product of the grace of God in salvation make no such claim but ascribe all to the activity of God.
