In Calvinism why are the sinners God made responsible for what God has made them?

Yeah, lots of trolls in here. Glad someone in 'admin' is open minded and logical. Thank you Free.
Many believe Gotquestions is a Calvinistic site.
Gotquestions is an excellent cite for concise Biblical answers.
Correction: Jesus died to atone for the sins of everyone. His bllod is the price for every single person
Jaybo if that is true, then hell should be empty. The Lord paid for their sins why are they there if their sins were atoned for?
Grace and peace to you.
It is fallacious to conclude that because they are "wrong" about one thing (especially since it's your opinion), that they are wrong about other things (again, especially because it comes down to personal opinion). They could be wrong about the gifts of the Spirit but quite correct about being born with a sinful nature, they could be wrong about both, but they could also be right about both.What a sad site gotquestions.org is . I would think they do not have ANY pentecostal writers.
I will share my thoughts about this link here https://www.gotquestions.org/cessationism.html
Here is what they say .
" There are indications that the gift of tongues has ceased."
"History indicates that tongues did cease. "
The gifts of the Holy Spirit are still with us today as they were before ! How do I know ? The Holy Spirit was used me and worked through me many times .
Fastfredy0 , if gotquestions.org is your bible fact checker , look out !
I just want everyone to abide by the ToS and have a civil, respectful discussion. As much as some of us disagree, we're all made in the image of God and worthy of respect, not to mention we're also brothers and sisters in Christ.
You're changing the subject to Continuationism (the belief that all the spiritual gifts, including healings, tongues, and miracles, are still in operation today, just as they were in the days of the early church) but .... what the heck.
Everyone has ideas and sometimes ideas conflict. You're implied allegation the GOTQUESTIONS.ORG is an unreliable source of biblical understanding based on the fact that you don't agree with a particular assertion is narrow minded in my opinion. Besides, unlike you, they gave biblical reasoning for their opinion whereas you have not.
This happens to all Christians. John 14:15; Romans 5:5 etc. etc. This does not prove or disprove Continuationism.
...aside: I don't believe in Continuationism but it is not a subject I care about. Start another thread if it interests you.
I have created a thread about the gifts in the past. Please feel free to revise the thread and prove the gifts are still in use today. I believe I also created a thread from that, about woman want to be pastors and leaders in the church.What a sad site gotquestions.org is . I would think they do not have ANY pentecostal writers

Free ... please type faster so I don't have to duplicate with what you are going to say.... *giggles*
Aside: No, we aren't the same person *giggle*
I think they tend that way. I read one article that basically stated they are 4 pointers (not
Limited Atonement or Particular Redemption or Definite Atonement or whatever you want to call it).
Then I read another that had them on the fence about the 5th point.
So, I would say they are not REFORM but lean that way.
Aside: When people try to put all the doctrines together to eliminate contradiction they tend to end up Reformed IMO. I could be wrong ... I have a bias as we all do.
Aside2: They do look at many subjects and give scriptural answers and often mention other points of view
I discovered them when the Lord saved me around 2005 or so, if memory serves correctly. I frequent that site a lot even to refresh my memory. Monergism.com is another favorite, but not as concise as Gotquestions.
Grace and peace to you.
Agreed. Great site for insights into theological questions. It can save a lot of time when a particular question comes to mind as it gives verses to back up what they say which few people in here do.
I also have Monergism.com as a favorite. This is an interesting article, the subject of which I ponder occasionally: https://www.monergism.com/thethreshold/articles/onsite/qna/arminians.html
Indeed.
Since this is you belief "Babies are born in sin" . What if a Christian man and Christian woman have a baby . Where would the sin come from that this baby would be in ?
Actually my post is a question not a comment .
The bible says sin is imputed to all mankind via Adam. Actual parents are irrelevant. Theologians use the term "federal head" as being Adam (in Christ in when talking about imputation of righteousness). Verses to support this include:
Isaiah 48:8b For I knew that you would surely deal treacherously, and that from before birth you were called a rebel.
Psalm 51:5 But I was born a sinner, yes, from the moment my mother conceived me.
Psalm 58:3 The ungodly are perverse and estranged from the womb; they go astray as soon as they are born, speaking lies.
- Isaiah 48:8 You have never heard, you have never known, from of old your ear has not been opened. For I knew that you would surely deal treacherously, and that from before birth you were called a rebel.
- Romans 5:12 Therefore, just as sin came into the world through one man, and death through sin, and so death spread to all men because all sinned— … For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners; (Romans 5:12-21)
- 1 Corinthians 15:21 For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead. 22 For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.
Ephesians 2:3 among whom we all once lived in the passions of our flesh, carrying out the desires of the body and the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, like the rest of mankind.
- sin is imputed
- treated as though sinners
- not thus personally sinners
- not regarded as actually guilty of Adam's sin
- sinner's representatively
- born sinful, naturally becoming actual sinners
- born spiritually dead (needing regeneration)
- condemned to the penalties of death because of Adam Romans 5:12
Ahh , you saw it :yes .
