Re: Reformed Theology Discussion

Definition of freewill... The choice in several parts of ones life to choose love or hate; selfishness or submission; honor or cheapness; God or Earth; repentance or hardness; maybe a bunch of other nuetral decisions; and decisions which may a side of having both positive and negative(on a goodness...

Re: Molinism discussion
However, I want to add in that I heard on his podcast from a recent lecture he did at Calvin college. Craig stated that he was surprised to find that many Calvinists he had discussions with there at Calvin college were also Molinists. Which is sort of a head scratcher to say the least. You probably...

Re: Reformed Theology Discussion
Thanks Bart. I’m happy reading the thread, and have mostly enjoyed reading your perspective. The only thing I’m concerned with is those 3 points from page 1 being shown and not just asserted. I’m not suggesting they won’t be treated, and I’m not trying to rush you. As for your questions, I’ll be hap...

Re: Molinism discussion
Various philosophers have offered just such an account of freedom. Thomas Hobbes suggested that freedom consists in there being no external impediments to an agent doing what he wants to do: “A free agent is he that can do as he will, and forbear as he will, and that liberty is the absence of exter...

Re: Reformed Theology Discussion
Bart, I‘m slightly confused about the purpose of the thread. Going by the link provided on page 1, you might be attempting to show that Reformed theology is about much more than TULIP. If this is what you want to say, or one of the things you want to say, then you’ll get no objection here, and I hav...

Re: Merry Christmas !!
Rick, at best that counts as one. But you've already said Merry Christmas anyway, so we haven't moved forward at all

Re: Molinism discussion
Glad you put this up, B.W.
I'd suggest that supporters of Molinism first define what they mean by free will.
Post Christmas should be exciting.

Re: Flat Earth Theory
Yes, courtesy to a new member of the board would be a good start. By “courtesy” I mean not jumping all over a newcomer with mockery. Since I’ve been on this board we’ve regularly taken atheists to task for attempts to mock and ridicule us. If this is how we do things, why should we consider ourselve...

Re: Flat Earth Theory
Danny, I can't believe you are serious. Have you looked at the flat earth website, that Eric posted? They have heard every logical reason why a flat earth is not possible. And for every reason they can't refute(which is most), they chalk it up to a conspiracy. Danny, clearly this is an issue of som...

Re: John Wesley's theology
I also believe, Christ's work was efficacious But I don't agree that the purpose was only to secure the salvation of the elect. I believe the elect's salvation will be secure, but I also believe Christ's work had a purpose of enabling all men, presented with the gospel, to choose to accept or deny ...
