    Does God call the Righteous? Or does He call SINNERS to repentance? By your logic, a sinner CANNOT repent... So God's Holy Call to Repentance is nil... It is efficacious... Because it is God Calling... Arsenios

    Tradition

    They CAN turn from sin - Their success will vary according to the person... Repentance is turning from sin... Repentance is NOT total success in the effort... Do you not know this, Josiah? You will have success and failure... The Faith is a STRUGGLE... No struggle = breast feeding into old...

    Tradition

    I do not... I claim that when God CALLS someone to DO something, then that person CAN do what God CALLS him to do... Fer'instance! Not all can walk on water... Not that God commands ALL to walk on water... Unless it is frozen, mind you... Nice straw-man attempt though... Discipleship is...

    Tradition

    Yes - For you to say that God commands us to do that which we cannot do is the apex of illogicality... So you are kind of on a summit, I suppose... I prefer a pile of fresh and smelly dung... For myself... Rather than your oh so exalted apex... But here is another soft ball for you...

    Calvinism Vs Arminian

    I just love your theological optimism, Menno... Would that God were even so much as 25% Lord over my life! Discipleship is the praxis that establishes Christ the Master as Lord in one's life... We are willy-nilly snoot pop bang without discipling... Christ said: "Disciple all the Nations"...

    Tradition

    Before or after he got sick and died? Ah yes, after he died - Another rabbit trail... John the Baptist did not preach at the graves, But in the wilderness... Nor did Christ preach to the dead in the tombs... He discipled those not yet in the grave... How many times have you preached to...

    Tradition

    This entire post of yours here is exactly that failure to engage the issue of God's Call to Repentance... See? You are calling that Holy Call of God inefficacious... Insisting un-Biblically that Salvation comes prior to that Calling... That you have to be saved in order to repent... When...

    Tradition

    God CALLS sinners to repentance... Please provide the text you are referencing... MANY are called, FEW are CHOSEN... Your text is referring to the latter... To the Apostles... Mat 20:16 So the last shall be first, and the first last: for many be called, but few chosen. Arsenios
  19. Arsenios

    Tradition

    The issue you are failing to engage is the CALL of God to Repentance... And MAN's response to that Call of God... You have consistently evaded this issue for a long time now here... You are teaching the FALSE doctrine that FALLEN man is UTTERLY DEAD... God calls man to repentance - That's...

    Sinless Mary

    Neither is the Church some kind of "Court of Law"... It IS indeed a Hospital for the Sin-Sick Afflicted seeking healing and recovery from wounds... We ALL need the Good Samaritan... We all need to GO upon our way and sin no more... It is why we are repenting... It is why we seek Baptism...
