Argument from silence fallacy.
John Calvin was a Missionary. Calvinists prosthletyze.
no the concept does not exist in the bible
Prove it ... Names.and links to them saying that, please.
Try again
That isn't said in scripture ... ?
Actually
You're not ignoring me. ?
Again, Howie, let's stay focused on the point! If you don't exist, you cannot sin! Thus, there is no guilt. Furthermore, it is bad form to pit my opinion against another posters opinions as a divide and conquer technique. Johnny's view of X has nothing to do with my argument to you.
You also can't be elected to salvation.
And of course you did not exist before the foundation of the world
Election to salvation is a positive event, and, under Reformed thought, is not based on anything we have done, good or bad. But you are arguing that "He was chosen to receive the penalty due to him for his sin", meaning that Election to perdition is based on the condition of guilt.
That wasn't the issue you raised. The issue you raised is, things can't happen to one who doesn't exist.
No I said that election to perdition is that "He was chosen to receive the penalty due to him for his sin." Thus, according to your definition, he was chosen because he was guilty, and his guilt cannot be if he doesn't exist yet.
You're quibbling.
God chose that those in Christ would be holy and blameless before him in love
No, I am demonstrating the failure of logic in your statements, Howie. Nonexistent beings do not have existent guilt to be punished for.
Nor faith to be in Christ for that matter
