Bro, I respect you too much to keep this going. We are not getting anywhere. We are both embedded in our view. We are not going to shift each other. Also, I come here to discuss end-times. That is what my passion is here. That is where we are in agreement.

Absolutely. He is God and He knows best. He doesn't have to explain his mysteries to us. You are fighting with Scripture. You are actually playing word games to support your position. It matters little whether it is "FROM" or "BEFORE the foundation of the world." Same reality. Psalm 69:27-28...

God has unconditionally chosen a people according to His infinite wisdom and knowledge from eternity. These are in the Lamb's book of life the foundation of the world.

The figurative thousand years is now.

No, no, no bro. Repeatedly, Jesus spoke of all that the Father has given Him will come to Him and believe. This is divine election. This election is something that the carnal mind reacts to. It thinks it is unfair. But God will have mercy on whom He will, and harden who He wishes. That is a...

What is your hermeneutics?

Yeah right! Everybody does that but you.

Do you believe in corroboration?

After seeing the miserable failure of their previous tactics of name-calling, and blatant avoidance, their new tactic seems to be stating an opinion as a fact, even though it is the opposite to the truth, and then doubling down on it as if they had initially proved something.

Not so. That is your opinion. I disagree.

I have absolutely no desire to misrepresent what you believe. I apologize if I have. I know you're very sincere in what you believe. You are a solid man of God. There is no one on this board (or others) that i respect more. I know that we probably agree on 99% of things. We have differences on...

Exactly. Man cannot heal his spiritually sick soul. He completely needs the invention of the great physician.

You have a dead man coming to life by himself. You have a dead man responding before he is alive. You have a blind man seeing when he cannot. He needs regenerated by the Word and the Spirit first.

In your opinion. But you have shown how unscriptural your view is in every angle we have looked at. Your self-help, man-centered, He-loves-me-He-loves-me-not, gospel is contrary to the faithful character of God, eternal life and to His eternal truth. You have no assurance that you are going to...

I never alleged works based salvation. I do not believe you (or most) Arminianists believe that. I am highlighting the unscriptural focus on man (that is totally unscriptural) and the attributing to him of qualities he does not possess. I find that disturbing. Romans 3:10-12 explains why...

I hate to burst your bubble: they are in the Book from before the foundation of the world. Revelation 13:8 "And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world." Revelation 17:8 says, “The...

As i asked: when you're responding to me will you quote me? Then I will respond.

Who are you speaking to?

You come out with this nonsense because you do not understand what Calvinists really believe. This is another strawman. You build your argument on sand: "I'm talking about no responsibility in salvation, not responsibility in general. I go there because it's true about Calvinists. That...

Who said it is literal? We are looking at the most symbolic book in the Bible? It does not even “one thousand years.” You force that into the text. It is the more figurative "a thousand." The term “one thousand” is only found once in Scripture in Isaiah 30:17. Country do I do you imagine and...
