lookn4ward2heavn,

I don't know that I will have time at the moment to answer all your points, but let me at least begin.

(1) “Rebuttals to Arminius” has nothing to do with what is being discussed.
Begging your pardon, but in your prior post you had used the terms "Unconditional Election" and "Totally Depraved" in response to Robin; you seemed to see a vital connection between those terms and what is being discussed. Those 2 terms are of course the headers of 2 of the 5 points intended explicitly to rebut the 5-pointed Remonstrance of the followers of Arminius.

(2) The perspective of the “unredeemed sinner” (is there any other kind?) is irrelevant.
Well yes, there is the "redeemed sinner"..... Paul seems to think so: "The saying is trustworthy and deserving of full acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am the foremost. (1 Timothy 1:15, ESV)
As far as "relevance", the issue raised by Robin concerned "the debate about predestination". My point is simply that that "debate" cannot be entered objectively by the unredeemed without having come to terms with Total Depravity.

You stated:
(3) The fact that one is "T" has no relevance (under Calvinism) whether one is chosen for salvation or not:
Actually it has all relevance. If one is not a sinner, one stands in no need of election--one's own work would satisfy the justice of God, one needs no atonement for the same reason, one needs no grace for the same reason, and one needs no keeping for the same reason. "For surely it is not angels that he helps, but he helps the offspring of Abraham." (Hebrews 2:16, ESV)

In Christ,
Paul S
