May I keep my new username?

I was possessed. CGR became aware and needed a host. When it chose me, I was taken by surprise. You saved me, sir.

I think someone wants an infraction

Is there a way I can put someone on an ignore list? Is there a way to have their posts not show up on a thread you are discussing on?

I am not the most eloquent writer and I am just tired of Jerry Love twisitng my words to make them say what he wants . Even after I tell him that what he thinksd is incorrect he continues his slander and twisitng. I would prefer to not even see what eh posts on a thread if this is possible. I appreciat eyour help. As you can tell I am not immune from firing back at him when he gets onhis slanderous ways.

I'm curious how my post here http://www.christianguitar.org/forum...1/#post3462117 was egotistical or self-righteous, because I don't see it. and can you explain a little more what you meant by "Aside from it being entirely self-contradictory in its appeal to freedom of speech, and dismissal of that freedom's basis." Can you be more specific?

Can we bring the Slope back?

The Biblical way obviously is the right way. It's seldom the fun way.

I would say Calvinism says there is a choice, but I would disagree with their definition of choice fundamentally.

The calvinist's perspective is that man's will is corrupt to where he will always choose evil, so he does what he wants to do, although he really can't do anything else.

It is soft determinism. The will is set as well as the actions so the being always chooses what they want, but what they want is preset as well.

ArmEnianism is a nationality. The same nationality as the dudes in system of a down. (It is a common, but amusing typo, especially since in real life my name gets me tagged as Armenian even though I am not, and am whiter than sour cream)

Arminianism holds the view that man can pretty much only choose evil by nature as well, because we are evil. It is the result of fall and not divine decree. Still, very much bound. The differences are actually pretty subtle.

Bill, in your comment to me about choice and Calvinism, you wrote "I would say no, absolutely, either way."

Are you saying there's no real choice in Calvinism? Or no real choice in either Calvinism or Armenianism? I confess, I only have a vague layman's level understanding of both schools of thought. Any clarification would be helpful to me.

Hey, I completely agree with you about the pro marijuana folks spreading propaganda and half truths. Thanks for your insight in this thread. It troubles me a little to see the casual attitude some of the young people here seem to have concerning this issue.
