How is the Arminian God unwilling that people perish eternality when he deliberately and knowingly makes hellbound sinners even though it lay within his power to spare them that fate by not making them in the first place." Funny how nimble they (Arminians) get when one poses this point to them. I guess God is situationally omniscient in their world. Situationally sovereign, as well.<br /><br />RE: "I'd like to submit that the problem with Calvinism, or at least these particular Calvinists, is a queer obsession with the logicality of soteriology and a strange tendency towards dichotomizing the world into Arminian and Calvinist halves." Yeah, being faithful to the Scriptures is a queer obsession, alright. It's not like Paul or anyone ever insisted on getting doctrine correct or anything. Or called Peter a hypocrite for joining those with bad doctrine (for merely switching seats at chow). Or the Galatians foolish. Or suggested castration (Gal. 5).

Yet is not God (on Arminianism) doing everything He can to save people?

Not to me." -Olson<br /><br />This is quite a unspiritual, and statement made of someone in the flesh.<br />This teacher is in the dark. He needs eyes to see.
