@ef_hopkins @Innocent_Psmith @DPGBehler It’s not arbitrary to God

[MassaDamnata @Massa_Damnata]

@JordanMHatfield @BeanofChrist @WellRedneck Also, it’s not a reference to outside of time. Scripture is not a handbook on God’s relationship with time. John Calvin was even quite agnostic whether God is truly atemporal or not, but the later reformed took over the philosophical notions of platonic and aristotelian thought

[MassaDamnata @Massa_Damnata]

@JordanMHatfield @Sketo80 @BeanofChrist @WellRedneck #2 for what was there “before the foundation of the world”? Exactly… nothing except God! So to say election is conditioned upon anything in the world or in the creature is to reverse Paul’s entire point

[MassaDamnata @Massa_Damnata]

@JordanMHatfield @Sketo80 @BeanofChrist @WellRedneck #1 It’s not that we are chosen coz God made us “better”. It’s: we are “better” because we are chosen. It wouldn’t make sense for Paul to say election was before the foundation of the world if election was based upon something that happens in the world

[MassaDamnata @Massa_Damnata]

@JordanMHatfield @BeanofChrist @WellRedneck He references “before the foundation of the world” to emphasize that it is unconditional. The choice is not based upon anything that comes from us. He does the same in Romans 9 “before the children were born and did anything good or bad”

@ef_hopkins @Innocent_Psmith @DPGBehler How is that even a contradiction? If God sees you fit for punishment then you are. Guilt is a concept, not a mechanic.

@chris_jolliff @Soteriology101 I’ve already heard the same argument from Mike Winger and yoi clearly mention Luke 14 in this tweet. Luke 14 has nothing to do with Romans 9

[MassaDamnata @Massa_Damnata]

@Soteriology101 @HwsEleutheroi @BethanyMcGrew @DrDavidLAllen Leighton, you don’t make a critical audience see anything. Your exegesis is often sheer nonsense. You are lucky that the only Calvinist that is really engaging with you is James White, who is himself a confusing man.

[MassaDamnata @Massa_Damnata]

@Bible_Times_DC @AjwillTW You should really repent of your stupid OSAS and free grace/antinomianism. You can’t read the New Testament and get away with your “free grace” nonsense

[MassaDamnata @Massa_Damnata]

@Trent_Horn Hebrews 6 says that apostates can’t turn back to repentance. It’s absolutely clear in the text. Just because it might be considered “harsh” doesn’t make it untrue. Now of course James is also wrong; cause a regenerated person, if perseverance is not given, can fall away

[MassaDamnata @Massa_Damnata]

@Bible_Times_DC @AjwillTW Ah okey, so you are an extreme heretic but not a super extreme heretic! Almost there!

[MassaDamnata @Massa_Damnata]

@The_Idol_Killer Do you hold to sola fide?

[MassaDamnata @Massa_Damnata]

@The_Idol_Killer @DBViking108 Free speech is a secular idea, not a Christian idea. Also nothing necessarily wrong with heresy laws. Clearly a modernist talking here

[MassaDamnata @Massa_Damnata]

@DPGBehler Wdym with “always”. God knew they would be sinners and he chose and knew they would be in Christ. God is all-knowing (which is biblical)

[MassaDamnata @Massa_Damnata]

@russle_p2 @DPGBehler Which book and chapter in the Institutes?

[MassaDamnata @Massa_Damnata]

@DPGBehler Derrik, This view about God is literally older than your theology😂 “Post modernism” smh

[MassaDamnata @Massa_Damnata]

@DPGBehler I thought it was Paul who wondered who has known the mind of the Lord? A rhetorical question.. Of course we can’t understand the mind of God. He is not an all powerful human in the sky

[MassaDamnata @Massa_Damnata]

@AjwillTW @Bible_Times_DC Why are you siding with an “independent baptist” who believes in OSAS and Free Grace (antinomianism) and is a King James only-ist probably? I wonder if he cares about the Trinity, most of those types typically don’t guve the Trinity much attention

[MassaDamnata @Massa_Damnata]

@PWWRacing @Boots1689 @Bible_Times_DC @MatthewDoyle4 They are very salvific, hence Paul going into that God wants all to be saved
