Hi guys!
This one's probably been tackled before.
From the local Pelagiarminian on another board I frequent:
We're on page 11 of the thread. I've already noted that he and others are seeking to overturn Romans 8:6-9, 1 Cor. 2:14 and a host of other passages by riding this one parallel passage in order to disprove total depravity.
What's a good response ? Time's short for me these days to really dig in myself.

This one's probably been tackled before.
From the local Pelagiarminian on another board I frequent:
"10 But when He was alone, those around Him with the twelve asked Him about the parable. 11 And He said to them, "œTo you it has been given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God; but to those who are outside, all things come in parables, 12 so that "˜Seeing they may see and not perceive, and hearing they may hear and not understand; lest they should turn, and their sins be forgiven them.´"" Mark 4
"Christ is speaking in parables so that they will not understand and be converted, with their sins forgiven. That makes no sense in the Calvinist model. Why use parables with the totally depraved? It would be unnecessary."
