1 | When do we become sinners? | Ps 51:5 | Makarios | 12600 | ||
Dear JCP, I believe that we have not confused issues (at least I have not), and I see that you are getting completely and clearly off the subject of the original question with your reply. The Forum well knows my stance on the issue of election and free will, and if you'd like to delve into that discussion any further than this point, then I suggest that you check the Forum archives. I will not be "baited" or led any futher into this discussion with you, and I hope that I have explained myself well. Thank you! --Nolan |

2 | When do we become sinners? | Ps 51:5 | mattone | 12611 | ||
Hey Nolan, I'm sorry you feel baited, that was not my intention. My friend in Christ, it is you who have gotten off of the original subject. Which was, When do we become sinners, and the interpretation of Psalms 51:5-6. But, I understand if you don't want to answer my questions, questions that were clearly directed at YOUR arguments on the state of Infants and Incapables in death, and the so-called "age of accountability". Obviously I've hit a sore spot, I apologize. Have a great day and a blessed weekend. --JCP |

3 | When do we become sinners? | Ps 51:5 | Makarios | 12612 | ||
Hey there JCP, You didn't hit a 'sore spot' with me, my friend, so you can relieve yourself of the burden of me possibly "holding a grudge".. :) It is obvious that we disagree. In my interpretation, we can go no further unless we deal with the "deeper issues" first (what I am trying to avoid). In your interpretation, you believe that crossing into a part of that "deeper" issue would help explain your viewpoint better. However, I feel that we have 'crossed the line' here, and the way that I received your 'questions' to my reply was as another way to attack Arminianism rather than answering what I have stated about the "Age of Accountability." I have pretty much said all that could be stated about my stance on that subject here. Thank you and you also have a great day and blessed weekend. --Nolan |

Nolan, we are nowhere near a deeper issue!!! These arguments are referred to in most circles as BASIC Christianity. Anyone can understand that it is God who saves and not us who save ourselves. Again Basic Christianity. For example: For by grace you have been saved, not of works, lest any man boast. For it does not depend on the man who wills, or runs, but on God who has mercy on whom He will have mercy. It is not those who are healthy who need a physician, but those who are sick. Nolan, "go and learn what this means, I desire compassion and not sacrifice, for I did not come to call the righteous, BUT SINNERS (emphasis and paraphrasing is mine). None come unto the Father unless I first call them. For I am confident that HE WHO BEGAN A GOOD WORK IN You will perfect it until the day of Jesus Christ. Nolan, it is you and Tim who opened this can of worms about infants and the age of accountability. Every reply I've given you is towards that discussion. My last reply was repeating your belief, using your words, are you ashamed of them? Nolan, we both believe God saves infants, I'm asking you to defend yours with Scripture. I believe you can, as I alluded to in my earlier reply. But where in scripture is there state of moral neutrality for anyone? And if there is not one, then again, it is that God chooses whom he will have mercy on! Nolan, if this next reply is like your last one, then I must say good bye to this subject and move on. But let me say that you are forever my brother in Christ, for it is he that will keep us from harms way! --JCP |

Greetings mattone (JCP), Yes, I am aware of you and I know that you think along the lines of Calvinism.. It has been revealed that I think differently than you do. I have said once before that I will not be goaded into an argument with you. In a Forum so diverse with myriad topics, isn't there anything else that you would like to talk about, my friend? By all means, have the last word on this thread, my friend, and reply to this post! Your Brother in Christ, Nolan |
