In some sense, you're right, and that's the decretive will. But the decretive will can surely decree that He's going to exercise His preceptive will, which is His right to Speak to us. And obv, from places like Genesis 50:20, He can also decree to exercise His permissive will. It doesn't mean...

Preceptive being, "Let's go Home," but the decretive will permits the permissive will, and so you go to the produce section instead, violating His precept, but He decrees His permissive will (looks the other way) while you go to the produce section. It's interesting though when you think about...

That's either what hooked me on Clavin, or it at least was a big part of what hooked me. Was God in any sense ... failing? I couldn't countenance that, and I didn't, and when I found Clavinism, I found that it also did not countenance that God was failing. So I instantly converted, mentally...

I think that's a false dichotomy. You below are going to point out some positive examples and I'm going to add two—negative ones. And that's also true, agreed. And, I like that analogy, it's vivid and accessible. Helps people like me with zero imagination. "Double predestination", right...

I said "something about your faith", I didn't "question" your faith. Is English your first language?

Have you seen the movie The Game, yes or no. If not I'll stop harassing you.

Why can't God just decree in advance based on foreknowledge when He's going to exercise His permissive will? I mean look ahead, see that the Holocaust is going to occur, A.D. 1940, decree (slash choose) then, that He will exercise His permissive will then. I mean, look ahead, to when our Lord...

Goes without saying. Sounds more like it has something to do with Heaven anyway. This Baptism, right? $$ Lu 3:16 John answered, saying unto [them] all, I indeed baptize you with water; but one mightier than I cometh, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to unloose: he shall baptize...

Oh. You received the tradition of using bread to celebrate the Lord's Supper, yes? You didn't make that up yourself, right? Jesus took bread, and then said, "This [bread] is [now] My body [meaning, it is no longer bread]." Those are the words of consecration.

Posting more content from Grace Ambassadors recently even if you won't say it's canonical Mid Acts, is helpful because it is helping us to get deeper into our theology discourse. The keys of the kingdom of Heaven, and the power to bind and loose. Both the sacraments of Baptism and Confession...

I love Jesus no matter what Lon. He and His Apostles founded His Church. That is the Roman Catholic Church simpliciter. (That's the Church in the Bible.) So this is again yet another logical fallacy for you, this time, false dichotomy (based on a straw man, begging the question). I was...

No one said that. That's a partisan narrative mischaracterizing what was actually said and what is actually taught. The party in question calls the Pope Bergolio. Bergolio said get faggotry out of the seminaries. That's not a thing. It might have been an abuse, in the distant past, but...

Strange post. But this part, no longer wishing to discuss theology. Wow. What possesses someone who was interested in theology, to not be interested in it anymore? And I am on purpose conflating theology with theological discourse. Even if you "study on your own", at some point, you have to...

You may not give a flying rat's backside about any of this, but in the off chance that you do, you should consider familiarizing yourself with Dan Reehil. He had the worst imaginable experience with Roman Catholicism when he was a boy. I might have missed it somewhere, where he actually said...

There are no parts of Jesus. And mothers aren't creators. Mothers are bearers, not creators. So Mary the Blessed Virgin our Lady did not create our Lord—she bore Him. That makes her the mother of God. The Assyrian Orthodox branch of our faith also are Nestorians, but there're not very many...

You have to take that up with Jesus, and the Apostles. A tradition is INHERITED. It's not created by you. You received it. It was transmitted, or bequeathed to you. With blood. O negative. Universal donor. Under both species we receive and consume the body, blood, soul, and divinity of...

Neither Ferris neither Flowers brought up the missing link in terms of properly interpreting the Bread of Life Discourse in John chapter six. It's that John wrote his Gospel account last. This is because John implies he's got knowledge of Peter's martyrdom, which we know from history is about...

And hiddenness is odd, something can be right in front of your nose, but you missed it. That's happened to all of us in some way, I'm sure. The way the Suffering Servant of Isaiah was hidden from all descendants of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, was a unique, societal blindness. Just basically...

1st Corinthians 6:11 just isn't the dunk you think it is. I repeat again. $$ 1Co 6:9 Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, $$ 1Co 6:10...
