But Owen is no fool. His Puritan intellect is ...

• Does Proverbs 21:1 Teach Calvinistic Determinism?

  
  Arminian Perspectives — Authority: 109
  Very often Calvinists will cite Proverbs 21:1 as a proof text for God’s exhaustive control over the will and decisions of men.  Their use of the passage is not intended to demonstrate that God may at times override the will as Arminians would have little difficulty affirming, but that God is always in control ...

• Why I am Agnostic, pt 2–causality

  
  themattscott — Authority: 114
  I mentioned, in a comment yesterday , that I had jumped the ship of theism about a year ago, and had somehow gotten caught up in trailing the ship for some time after that. The next few posts will discuss how those remaining ties were severed, and I’ll probably end with something on why I am not an atheist. (I ...

  Spirituality for Living — Authority: 134
  I ’m wondering. How do we cope with so much shame going on? Cease identifying with the system, but we can’t take action based on that statement even if it’s clear. In hypnosis, they can’t use the suggestion “quit smoking” to make you quit smoking. You actually have to have a positive or present object ...
