Total Depravity

And yours are no different. You deride me and my beliefs as Pelagian heresy; but then caution me for giving back to you a similar charge. What is with that? You can freely malign me, but the reverse is unacceptable?

And by the way, who has or has not the authority to teach here? As I have said before, once anyone says anything beyond a precise quotation from the Bible, it is only opinion. Even your statement concerning unconditional election is opinion.

Jim, when you show your conclusions, you should show your reasoning for those conclusions. If your reasoning is by way of Scripture, show the scripture and your reasoning for your use of scripture --hopefully, exegesis.

Obviously, there is not enough room here to show the whole matter, but there should be something besides repeated round and round and round. It's not just frustrating --it's puerile. The, "I know you are, but what am I?"-tone isn't going to be put up with long here, and the following I will say so that YOU can understand: It won't be put with long here, EVEN IF YOU ARE RIGHT.

Deal with it, fair or not.
