Quote:Everyone who gets better than they deserve is a recipient of common grace.John Bradford would approve of this statement were he alive today and not burned at the stake, I guess.
Goes to show you can dedicate your life to this God monster and the cosmic cunt can't even grant you a quick and painless death.
Quote:This common grace is also responsible for all good deeds that anyone does.So in your way of thinking god as first-cause is responsible for, everything?
Quote:Left to their own devices, no one would choose to do anything good, we would be completely overpowered by sin.And how is this a bad thing if you believe god intends to destroy most of humanity in a predeterminated amount of time anyway? Is he like an examiner on a driving test who likes to get his "money's-worth" if the learner made a major fault from the very beginning and tells them they failed half-an-hour later for the entertainment-value?
Quote:This common grace was made possible by Christ’s atonement.So no one did any good deed before Jebus came?
Statler, are you making stuff up again?
Quote:However, Christ also purchased saving grace for all those who trusted in his coming before he came and his church after his death.He should've asked 'daddy' for a refund because he didn't save that many considering the sacrifice. Some all-powerful god you believe in.
