He cannot overcome his sinful nature. That is why God first seeks us and sheds his grace upon us. Arminians do not deny this. We just believe that God truly loves the whole world.

Your post, once again, did nothing in actually overcoming the issues I continue to raise with you. However, I do notice a pattern of misrepresentation on your behalf. I believe God loves all men to some degree, just not to salvation. The two are not equal.

In what way does a belief in General Redemption limit the power of the atonement? - I know the Calvinian answer, I'm just testing you:)

It actually saves none. Therefore, none are actually saved.

Now, I took Soteriology at a credo-pelagian college, so let's see if we can go through this step by step.

OK. God calls, though ineffectually, regenerates, but not unto faith, seeks, knowing He won't find most, warms your heart and begs, pleads, makes an offer and then what?


God bless,
