This guy and others like him who cling to logic like this (I mean the lack thereof) still blow my mind.
I would like to knock on their collective skulls and ask "is there anybody home?", but of course nobody is, so this would do no good.

How can today's Calvinists argue? This is where the thinking of virtually all of them is headed, sooner or later.
The ultimate end of free-will philosophy like this is atheism. For those who magnify absolute free-thinking and free-acting as the essence of true humanity, affirming that any God who would limit that 'freedom' to be a merciless tyrant, such people who claim that they need 'God' are expressing hopeless disgust and frustration at their 'freedom' & acting contrary to it. The truly 'free' in the absolute sense of autonomy from Divine determination are people who can decide for themselves, THEY DON'T NEED A GOD TO VALIDATE THEIR CHOICES!

Now see here how sleepy-headed all our opponents are, and how little it helps a man to rely on the ancient fathers, for all their repute down the course of the ages! Were they not all equally blind to, yes, and heeldess of, Paul's clearest and and plainest words?

Amen Bob. Hey Greg, that was a SICK SICK article. YUCK - where and how'd you find that?
Ditch the Garbage! - Too many people are proud of their humility - I, on the other hand, am not humble - and am proud of it!
"Luther's New Testament was so much multiplied and spread by printers that even tailors and shoemakers, yea, even women and ignorant persons who had accepted this new Lutheran gospel, and could read a little German, studied it with the greatest avidity as the fountain of all truth. Some committed it to memory, and carried it about in their bosom. In a few months such people deemed themselves so learned that they were not ashamed to dispute about faith and the gospel not only with Catholic laymen, but even with priests and monks and doctors of divinity." - A complaint by German humanist Johann Cochlaeus.
