I was referring to all his other posts- I told him I was done reading
his emotional rants so I don't read them anymore. I gave him plenty of
chances to reason like a big boy and he didn't.

I think you hit the proverbial "nail on the head."

God being sovereign does not mean that man cannot do that which
God forbids, and which God does not will that he do.

It means that God PERMITS man to disobey Him. But only permits,
man does not and cannot do anything that God does not permit him to do.

The Reformed idea of Sovereignty that man when he sins is actually
doing the will of God is very wrong.

One could say the same about Lutherans...

And this is why I do occasionally remind the Predestinarians in this NG: your
denial of the Patristic and Scriptural understanding of free will is _also_ bad
doctrine leading to bad practice. And if only you would read Augustine
syntopically instead of quoting him out of context, you just might see this.

Just as your practices point to obsession with accusing others of "works
righteousness"?
