There is not a single text in all of scripture that demonstrates man has salvific faith apart from receiving Gods Sovereign Grace.

Repentance is the result of salvation. Not the cause of it. The flesh profits nothing. It’s The Spirit who gives life

The Church Fathers unanimously taught that Super Mario Bros. 3 is the best video game ever. You won't find a single quote from a Church Father explicitly saying that any video game is better than Super Mario Bros 3.
The Church Fathers unanimously taught that Mary was sinless. You won't find a single quote from a Church Father explicitly saying that Mary sinned.

The Christless Nationalists are proving, with their own words, just how Christ-less they truly are today.

This is wild. When the Papists are accused of idolatry they all go up in arms. But when a cartoonist depicts God the Father holding a rosary, indicating that He is praying to Mary, they seemingly don’t care. This is what pure blasphemy looks like.

Because He knows everything and can’t change His mind. It’s the necessity of infallibility
Can anyone prove that logic requires that God upholding our existence means that he must Determine our choices?

Oh goodness...MM vs. SS? What could go wrong? :-) The sad thing is, MM really seems to believe his own PR. It is so wonderful to be Reformed at a moment like this...not the "dress like me, talk like me, sing like me" TR type Reformed...those of us who know Christ wins, we endure all things for the sake of the elect (2 Tim 2:10), He will save all those the Father has given Him, and we get to be instruments in His hands to His glory. The Spirit gives sight, opens eyes, and allows passages like 1 Cor 8:5-6 to sing in the hearts of His people, and all the blatherings of the Unitarians will never silence our praise.
Imaginative. I think Mike is borrowing an argument Dustin Smith used in his debate with James White. There is no allusion to Psalm 110 in 1 Cor 8:6. None. Paul does adapt the psalm later in the same letter (15:25), where the language of reigning until every enemy is under his feet is unmistakable. But 8:6 contains *none* of that vocabulary - no “right hand,” no “sit,” no “enemies,” no “footstool.” To say the “one Lord” here is “explicitly” the “Lord” of Psalm 110 is to read a text the verse never cites. What the verse does do is rework the Shema. Compare the Greek: Deut 6:4 LXX
 κύριος ὁ θεὸς ἡμῶν κύριος εἷς ἐστιν
 “the Lord our God, the Lord is one” 1 Cor 8:6
 εἷς θεὸς ὁ πατήρ … καὶ εἷς κύριος Ἰησοῦς Χριστός
 “one God, the Father … and one Lord, Jesus Christ” Paul takes the two titles of the Shema and splits them across two persons while keeping the monotheistic “one,” set over against the many gods and lords of the pagan world. The parallel structure is deliberate: -εἷς θεὸς ὁ πατήρ, ἐξ οὗ τὰ πάντα καὶ ἡμεῖς εἰς αὐτόν - καὶ εἷς κύριος Ἰησοῦς Χριστός, δι’ οὗ τὰ πάντα καὶ ἡμεῖς δι’ αὐτοῦ “From whom / for whom” / “through whom” is creation/agency language (Rom 11:36), not the enthronement scene of Psalm 110. Importing that psalm to define “Lord” here as a subordinate ruler is *not* exegesis of the verse; it is an external framework the text itself never supplies. The irony is that any Jesus who is not equal to the Father in all things ends up being precisely what Paul is condemning. Since worship is restricted to YHWH, a Jesus who is a mere creature - no matter how exalted or deified - becomes a “god” in some sense, the very thing Paul rejects. That reading leaves Paul in double-talk and apparent contradiction.
