Which is more likley?

That Camping could know when Christ will return or that James White could know that if Camping seeks to rescue his reputation, he will end up in hell?

James White:  "I fear if you seek to rescue your reputation, you will end your life under the wrath of God. Your unwillingness to listen to counsel has already caused great damage to the cause of Christ. You have one final chance for redemption, sir. Do not remain stiff-necked. Repent and turn from your ways."  (link)

How can Camping have "one final chance for redemption" if his election (or non-election) has already been determined by God and God alone?

Surely if he remains "stiff-necked" it is because God sovereignly determined that he remains stiff necked?

And surely he can only "repent and turn" if God grants him repentance?

Or maybe this is NOT the Calvinist mouthpiece James White that is being quoted?

Hey Onesimus,

That's a good point about election, but Calvinist or otherwise, I was really supprised to hear James White thinks Camping is 'at the point of no return'. That's just something God knows, but we don't.

God be with you,

Did I read White correctly to state the man has a "chance" at salvation (and of course only one more chance left)?

... interesting ... "James White Gives camping One More Chance"

Yes, perhaps he counted 490 errors by Campling, so he's about to hit his last one.

Let's try that again.

Unless you read the version that it was really 77 times (Matt 18:22, NIV), which means that Camping's goose is cooked and White can't count.

Good point. That's why his number is up. :-)

Responsibility - Evaluation of Arminian Grounds for LFW

Outline of Edwards Arguments in part V.I Arminians say if something causally predetermines our choices, we are not responsible. But responsibility is not the cause of choices, it’s in the nature of choices If responsibility is in the cause of choices, we search through an infinite regression of causes, and nothing is ever responsible. My Response Point 1 is close, but not quite accurate. While our actions can be predetermined, our choices cannot be. Choice cannot be predetermined, else it’s not choice. Predeterminism leave us with only one possible action, but choice requires alternatives (i.e. more than one). A “predetermined choice” is self-contradictory, implying we can choose something we can’t choose. So we think Calvinists are inconsistent for saying we can choose. Also, Arminians agree that we are responsible for our choices. Even though we deny we are responsible for things we are causally predetermined to do, we are not saying responsibility lies in the cause of choices,

The Equivocation of Regeneration

In the order of salvation, which comes first, faith or regeneration? Before we can answer that, don't we first need to understand what regeneration is? In this post I plan on contrasting Hodge's view with Arminius'. Hopefully, in the process we can clarify the issue of monergism vs. synergism. Hodge’s Order of Salvation Common Grace – a “moral suasion” that brings good works, but is insufficient to enable justifying faith Regeneration – God’s supernatural and immediate change of a person’s nature Vocation – same Gospel as the one in common grace, but it’s effectual on the changed man. Conversion – faith and repentance “first conscious exercise of the renewed soul” Justification Two Definitions of Regeneration Hodges provides two alternative definitions of regeneration. Sometimes regeneration means just the imparting of life, other times it means the whole process including the things coming before and after the imparting of life. 1 Hodge says these two difference sense
