The Five Primary Points of Calvinist Theology Are Biblical

First, I would like to point out that my opponent is NOT following the regulations for this debate. His last argument should have consisted only of his responses to my first points, and a cross-examination. This argument here would then be for me to answer the cross-examination. However, I will continue onward, with my rebuttals in this round.Total Depravity: My opponent claims that we are only partially depraved, because the Bible says in Matthew 7:7-11 that if we ask, we will receive. He then states that God is a God of love, and welcomes all who ask for Him.However, Romans 3:9-18 says, " 9 What shall we conclude then? Do we have any advantage? Not at all! For we have already made the charge that Jews and Gentiles alike are all under the power of sin. 10 As it is written: “There is no one righteous, not even one;11 there is no one who understands;there is no one who seeks God.12 All have turned away,they have together become worthless;there is no one who does good,not even one.”13 “Their throats are open graves;their tongues practice deceit.”“The poison of vipers is on their lips.”14 “Their mouths are full of cursing and bitterness.”15 “Their feet are swift to shed blood;16 ruin and misery mark their ways,17 and the way of peace they do not know.”18 “There is no fear of God before their eyes.”"It is obvious that we cannot seek God. He must give us the ability to believe. Once we have been given faith by Him, then we can seek Him and ask to join His family, which he graciously allows.In regards to your "God is Love" argument, you took one verse, paired it up with another verse, and used that to make a "logical" conclusion. Define "love." What is God's "love?"Unconditional Election:You took ONE verse selection from my argument, and claim that it can disprove my point. The most you tried to do was show that this section does not prove UE. My other arguments and verses still stand, because you did not address them at all. Regardless, I will still reply to your comments.Paul almost wanted to be cut off from the Messiah because the Jews were, at this point, the chosen people. He wanted to leave because they were suffering? Where does it really say that? Nowhere in the verses you cited, or in any you did not. The whole chapter is about those who are chosen and not chosen. For respect to space, I will not post it here, but read the whole chapter. About the disabilities, again, where does Paul say he wants to be cut off from them?Pharaoh was used by God to show his power. God brought him up hardened his heart, and destroyed him. Read verse 18 in this chapter. You seemed to completely ignore it when you made your arguments.Limited Atonement:I agree with John 3:16. Whoever believes in Jesus will be saved. However, faith is a gift from God. Those who are not chosen to believe will not believe. I posted this in my original argument, and you have chosen to ignore it. Also, in order for Atonement to not be limited, everyone would have to be saved. Obviously, this is not true. I defined Limited Atonement as, "...While His death was sufficient to bring about the salvation of everyone, it will not effect everyone." Please pay attention to the definitions, and at least make a new definition if you don't like mine. You also refused to refute any of the verses I cited, which means that you must believe that the Bible contradicts itself. Refute all the cited verses, or don't quote any.Irresistible Grace:Again, only by God's power will people be able to believe. Those he chooses to give faith to, will believe. In regard to your Exodus verse, was salvation then by faith? No. Christ had not died yet, so the idea of Irresistible Grace would be irrelevant.Perseverance of the Saints:Again, Old Testament verses do not apply to faith in Jesus Christ.1. Ok? This argument has nothing to do with whether or not the points are Biblical. With your "God is love," again, define love, back up your point with more than one verse, and refute ALL of my verses, or you must concede that the Bible contradicts itself.2. Condemn without reason? Read Romans 3:9-18. God has plenty of reason to condemn us all. Without his grace, we are all sinners damned to hell.3. Wow, no Bible verses. You claim that God is sovereign because he loves. If I love, does that make me sovereign? No, God is sovereign because He is GOD! (Daniel 4:35, Psalm 115:3, Psalm 22:28, 1 Timothy 6:15, plus all the other verses I have cited thus far.)4. You have not defined freewill. I believe in freewill: we are free to do whatever is in our nature. In the beginning, God created Adam and Eve with freewill. They chose to sin, thereby infecting the whole creation with a new nature. Unsaved Christians can do anything they want; within their nature. Choosing to be sanctified is not in man's depraved nature; we require God's gift of faith through His grace.Over to Con.
