Armenian people (those who believe in unconditional freewill to choose destruction) are inferior to Calvin in this respect. Calvinist are at least consistent, although not very nice. The freewillers logically contradict themselves constantly. The teach that the fall involved the will. The fall of the will simply means in a nut shell that the will has been rendered incapable of consistently choosing redemption. And then they turn right around and hang the eternal destiny of a person on their broken choice maker, suggesting inherently that the choice maker (will) is not broken. The entire premise of God's roundpen is to fix the broken will. That what the trainer in the roundpen does. The colts freewill basically does not trust and rebels against the trainer initially, but the purpose of the roundpen is to change this until the colt is useful. Paul's roundpen exercise was nearly complete in one event on the road. Others take a life time. Others correction will take place in the age to come. The bible plainly speaks of all of this. I'm not making this up. It is very nice to discover a God who we are not tempted to secretly hate. |
