Re: Another Question For Not ready
Bluff, I agree with almost all of what you wrote. One exception:
[ QUOTE ]
Since God is truth and cannot be the author of error, how can this be?
[/ QUOTE ]
God being truth doesn't mean He cannot be the author of error. Did He not send a lying spirit in 1 Kings 22:23)
"Now therefore behold, the LORD has put a lying spirit in the mouth of all these your prophets; the LORD has declared disaster for you."
But everything else you've said is pretty much spot on. It is an accurate criticism of much of mainline Calvinism. But you'll notice that my worldview (which I will say is the biblical one until proven otherwise) is completely intact. I have affirmed all the logical implications that the sovereignty of God leads to. I have given a (as clear as I was able) explanation for how human responsibility isn't contradictory to divine sovereignty.
The Bible is infallible, and it's words are clear. It is merely we as fallible human beings that insert false presuppositions where they do not exist. We, (including me) are all guilty of that.
