| Jun 27 at 4:34 | comment | added | Luke Hill | @MikeBorden Synergists don’t deny that grace is “received”. Something can be received and still be active. For instance, a present is received through no merit of the person receiving it, but it must still be opened, and used. | |
| Jun 24 at 18:50 | comment | added | Mike Borden | "But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God." - John 1:12-13. 'Received' here is active rather than passive and equated with believing on His name. Born of God and not man or flesh upon active reception of the Son. The gospel is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believes. | |

| Jun 21 at 5:59 | comment | added | Michael16 | If they say man cannot reject in conversion but reject afterwards in apostasy then that's also a contradiction against monergism . Perhaps this is why the osas are most consistent. I guess the passivity of receiving is under monergism where denial of freewill is corrolary to it. The contradiction is due to unwittingly made due to using realistic language of choosing just as all such terms like conversion, preaching, invitation are used under calvinism. | |
