The Narrow Path Ministries

Sean isn't "begging the question." He's "appealing to authority," which in Aristotelian logic is a logical fallacy. However, in doing theology, that's a fallacy that I think should not be properly applied to the Apostles. I believe seer is stating the following: Arminians have a theology that leads...

A. Receiving / Loving Christ is an autonomous act of your will. B. Receiving / Loving Christ is a supreme good. C. Supremely good acts are meritorious. Here, autonomous meaning that one can accept or reject. A=X; A=Y; therefore Y=Z isn't proper. The logic's a bit flawed here, so it's difficult to t...

Tell me this, Seer -- Do you make choices throughout a given day whether to follow Christ's teaching ? When (if) you do and God blesses your obedience through spiritual growth or otherwise, do you boast in your decision -- do you have a reason to boast ? From where comes my power to obey?

Did you do something to save yourself - yes or no... Some...

Just admit it, it's ALL of God... I do, including the revealed will of God to create free agents with the ability to choose so that He may be glorified even more by their choices. And I do know that it logically follows - if you have a part in your salvation then you have room for boasting. It was ...

There is nothing more in my heart notwithstanding your seeming certitude as to my motivations. It is you that seem intent on ascribing some inherent value to me for having made such a decision, not I. Then tell me Darin, why did you make the right decision when confronted with the gospel, while you...
