In this podcast, B offers a foundational tool in his life and those he guides: The Response-Ability Roadmap, based on Dr. Viktor Frankl's teaching, "Between stimulus and response, there's a space. And in that space lies our power to choose our response."
Response-ability training is an online educational program to provide people with knowledge and skills to respond to their experiences, as opposed to merely reactiving and over-reacting chronically and unconscoiously. When you can respond to what life presents you with regulation and mindfulness, you save yourself from chronic stress which makes you better and your relationships with others better. The Becoming ResponseAble program is a foundation for learning about mental health as mindbody health and discovering inner resources and outer resources you may be unaware of!

Morning Mantra: “Response-ABILITY is the ability to choose your response to any circumstance or condition.”The goal isn't to get rid of all of your negative thoughts, feelings, and life situations. That's impossible.The goal is to change your response to them.

Blame and excuse are as old as man. From the beginning, mankind has had a tendency to make excuses and blame others for failure. All too often, we sit and rot in a prison that only we have a key to. As long as we continue to blame others for our captivity, we will continue to rot there. We cannot always choose what will happen to us, but there will always be a range of options when choosing how we respond to what happens to us.Eastland is a Place to BelongEastland Baptist Church is located in Tulsa, Oklahoma.

God wants us to own the responsibility the responsibility of getting necessary things done. The tendency of humanity is to make excuses.

Asking the right questions in life leads to right action. Perhaps the most dangerous incorrect question we ask in life is "why?" It creeps into our thinking and makes us feel sorry for ourselves. When we think and act like victims, no one benefits. The best way to eliminate the victim mentality in our world is to eliminate it in ourselves.Eastland is a Place to BelongEastland Baptist Church is located in Tulsa, Oklahoma.

How do you EAT a FROG?! “If it's your job to eat a frog, it's best to do it first thing in the morning.

Welcome to Rebels With A Cause Podcast and thanks for joining me for episode 15! Have any of you read the book Man's Search for Meaning? Today's quote comes from Viktor Frankl, author of Man's Search for Meaning. It says: “Everything can be taken from a man but one thing: the last of the human freedoms – to choose one's attitude in any given set of circumstances.” This quote is such a great reminder to me that, I do my emotions! Something I have said to myself over the years in order to remind me that I do my emotions is: "I am response-able for how I feel and what I do. Nobody can make me feel anything. If I had a bad day, I allowed it to be that way. If I have a great day, I deserve the credit." Using this mantra has completely changed my thinking and I encourage you to use it when you need a reminder that you do your emotions. Want more? Check out the links below!

When you operate with excellence, you can expect to see your people stepping up and giving their best. In this episode, Kyle Probert and I speak about how focusing on the things we can control in our lives translates to taking care of ourselves that will ultimately be the foundation of how we respond to situations, big or small and how well we can serve others. Key points covered in this episode:[00:04:46] Jade Green and Kyle Probert check in on each other and share how the current situation can cause many people to snap facing difficult and rocky laps in life and business.[00:07:37] All these things that add stressors into our world layer up bring us to that threshold and stop us from being able to respond. [00:09:42] The power of the WildFit Program and Eric Edmeades. We are adapting the "garbage in, garbage out" mentality with food and realizing the effect of nutrition on our ability to lead and stabilize our energy.[00:18:38] The importance of profile traits in managing a team ensures making and getting the best out of people and ensuring they are happy. [00:19:28] Understanding your team's love languages. Do they need words of affirmation to feel heard or get a pat on the back? Connect with them in ways that work for them.[00:24:08] Think through the years that you've worked in previous companies or teams -- who was that one person you worked for that got the best out of you? Assess what it was that they did for you? [00:26:39] Movement gives us energy; it clears our heads and removes the stresses. It's the releasing of dopamine and all of that that elevates us as well. Notice how the top CEOs and business leaders share one common habit: carving time in the morning to spend on themselves and setting movement and exercise as a daily non-negotiable. [00:30:45] Are you disconnected? If there's a high value of health from the leaders in the company, but a lot of the team building activities default to going out for pizza and beer, surely there's a disconnect that has to be addressed.[00:41:18] Showing up on time and presenting yourself well are a few examples that correlate how important it is to do the little things excellently because they make the big things. [00:45:01] If you find people on the job who are not ready to do the work yet, let them go and allow them to serve another business to fill their growth. When they're ready, let them know that the line of connection is still there they can come back to for support. [00:46:44] When we manage the stresses in our world, in our own environment, focusing on the things that we can control rather than the things that we can't is important for leaders.[00:50:37] Many managers practice "butt-kicking" in meetings. That was how they were taught and passed on as a culture. Starting with an icebreaker, breath work, or an attitude of gratitude practice makes a more productive week.__________________________________________________________________________________ABOUT TEAM: ENGINEEREDTeam: Engineered is your go-to podcast for all things team building and business scaling.

Choices, Decisions and Patterns sound like very important parts of an equation that can have serious impact. You're right! They are. But how they work together is even more important. The CDP framework is at the heart of every major or minor shift in your life. It's literally where the rubber meets the road. You can have the perfect ideal day laid out in front of you with every goal and domain set to take action on but if we don't end up following through, we'll never get there. So the CDP framework is a simple process to help you see the somewhat hidden choices, make better decisions and create more positive patterns. Even better, there is a way this framework all fits together. You see, if you begin to realize that you are RESPONSE - ABLE (sound familiar...) we can begin to see the choices we have more clearly, make better decisions and develop better patterns. If we reverse the order and we have a negative pattern that is developing, we have to decide up front to make a change. When the choice presents itself you're that much more equipped!

This week Seth and Chris are joined by Philipp Steger, who is working as a strategy advisor and executive coach. The problem that he keeps running into is that competitive and antagonistic mindsets are all too common. What organizations need is a collaborative mindset and response-able leaders. But what does that really mean and what does that look like in an age where how we collaborate is always changing. All this and more in this episode of The Ripple Leader Podcast.

A talk by Thanissaro Bhikkhu entitled "Response-able"
Whine, Blame Or Take RESPONSIBILITY - Do We Have A Choice... Can we choose to be responsible - RESPONSE-ABLE - for our health, career, finances, and relationships?
Are you RESPONSE-ABLE?Being able to respond requires you to be in the right mindset, managing your stressors instead of letting them accumulate, build up, and lead you to an explosion that can have terrible consequences for you and your team.When you or anyone in your team explodes because of a trigger, this means the person is REACTING INSTEAD OF RESPONDING. But what's the problem with reacting?Kyle & Jade are together once again to talk about the importance of being response-able, the stressors that can make the workplace feel like a minefield, and the tools you can implement RIGHT NOW to make a drastic change in this.One of the things you need to keep in mind is that YOUR ACTIONS as a leader trickle down the ladder of your employees. Therefore, you should always ask yourself what is the RESPONSE YOU WANT from your team?If you are snapping and being erratic all the time, that's exactly how your team is going to behave. Think of the BEST LEADER you've worked with, the one who made you want to be better and give more at work.That's EXACTLY what you should be thinking about when you lead. One commonality across leaders worldwide is that they TAKE CARE OF THEMSELVES. People often think that leaders should sleep 2 hours a day, barely eat, and exist solely for their jobs to be successful.This is an absolute LIE! The best leaders make sure they take time for themselves, usually using it to stay active be it by practicing a sport or any other activity that engages their mind and allows them to connect WITH THEMSELVES.Do you do the same?This is the only way in which you can truly take care of your employees. To promote responses instead of reactions you need to UNDERSTAND where your employees are coming from, their buttons, and their triggers. Otherwise, your workplace will be in constant chaos.The key here is to CONTROL WHAT YOU CAN CONTROL. This allows you to manage the things you can't control more successfully. Jade and Kyle provide great real-life examples and tools to help you implement these strategies. It's all TAKING THE TIME to invest in how you manage your team and being willing to let go when it's necessaryReady to learn more? Go NOW to linkKey points (00:00): Welcome to Barrels and Business!(04:50): The importance of avoiding a breaking point or threshold that leads you to react instead of responding.(07:16): There are usually many stressors that might lead you to accumulate pressure until you explode and react in an unproductive way.(09:40): Nutrition can have an important impact on the ability of leaders to lead and communicate with their team as well as the energy they transmit to others.(13:57): The dangers of making a decision when you are overly energized from things like excessive caffeine intake or crashing from a high intake of carbs.(16:20): As a leader, it's important to understand how others work and what their triggers and buttons for reacting instead of responding are.(22:30): Leaders need to be “the meat in the sandwich” and manage the pressure they are putting on the rest of the team in the best way. (25:37): The most inspiring leaders take care of themselves, practice a sport, or are physically active, which allows them to take care of others.(29:24): Tools to help employees to be more active during work and helping them activate their mind in the process. (37:06): As a leader, you can help a team that has become negatively competitive by encouraging them to play for outcomes instead of goals. (41:58): Sports can be a good example of how to improve the strength of a work team. (43:58): Sometimes, as the business changes, one of the team members can't change with the business. It's important to identify when it's time to help them find the right role for them somewhere else. Key takeaways & quotes It's important to process stressors as they come to avoid accumulating them until the point of exploding and reacting instead of responding.Controlling the things you can allows you to better manage the things you can't control.As a leader, it's important to act keeping in mind the type of response you want from your team.“Exercise reduces the possibility of reaching the reacting threshold.”Men need to connect with nature, which can be applied in the workplace.Leaders need to be able to respond and interact with employees by understanding what they need to thrive.“The best leaders are people who take care of themselves.”Connect with Me and the Barrels and Business Community Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/barrelsandbusiness/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jadegreenau/Linkedin - https://www.linkedin.com/in/jadegreenauYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/JadeGreenWebsite: https://www.jadegreen.com.au/Connect with Kyle Probert Website: https://www.apthydraulics.com.au/Instagram: @kyle_aptLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kyleprobertMentioned resourcesWealth Dynamics test: https://www.wealthdynamics.com/ Love Language Test: https://www.5lovelanguages.com/ Legacy: https://www.amazon.com/Legacy-Sports-James-Kerr/dp/153181218X Our GDPR privacy policy was updated on August 8, 2022.

'I' whoever I am, this 'I' that's listening to these words now, is responsible for my return as Source Connection to the entire Universe and beyond. I alone am responsible for that. I alone, am responsible for my return as Source Connection to the Universe and beyond in what appears to be a daily life. My response is my ability. No response, no ability. My response reveals my ability. Reaction is the old world ensnarling you in the idea that you're just a body-mind.. a body-mind that is literally, if we look, programmed in certain behaviour mannerisms and affects. And none of it is what you were born with and none of it is what you belong to and none of it is real. But it is given permission to have function as an idea that that's what you are. So just to reiterate what I just said; whoever I am, it is my response-ability as Source Connection to return the frequencies of all my action, even my breathing, to the Source Connection I Am, and that connection that is throughout the Universe and in the Beyond. I Am That and my ability is already inherent in What I Am. My response opens my ability. My no response to the truth I know I am Source Connection, holds my body-mind as my identity and holds my attention and my abilities held and a prisoner captive in patterns of behaviour that are not yours and certainly not your birthright. I who am listening to these words now, am already response-able. I have the ability to respond to the moment as Source Connection, to the entirety of the Universe and the Beyond. I Am That. If I do not respond to that knowledge, there is reaction. It's literally a chain reaction. And if I look in my family and my ancestry I see the chain reaction of the rejection that I am not Infinite and have infinite capacity. And literally, not only am I multidimensional but there's nowhere that I cannot be found, for I am the one wholeness that is within every cell of the Cosmos and Beyond. That is my knowledge. I Am That. Just a little reminder, keep your own 'I' in your own centre. Then it's only when we react to this moment that is here right here, right now, that we begin to move in a setup plan, it's a setup plan, we move in particular ways that our families, families, families and our ancestors have moved for thousands of years in a believing setup that I am a body-mind, a limitation. But I am not that. This body-mind is an infinite light, an infinite spark of What I first Am as Source Connection. The body-mind is only here and now. It does not move in space and time. That's an appearance. It moves in What I already Am, a profound light of Consciousness and Being that can be said to be Love. In other words I Am Love. There's nothing else that I am. But if I, whoever I am, do not respond to this moment, please hear the words, I'm going to go over them quite consistently, but I'm either, a response to that knowing I am, or I'll be in reaction, and reaction is the world and is the program and it's in all of us in myriads of ways. It's in our families, it's in our relationships it's in our intimacies, it's in our business, it's in every single level where we have ever given our power away in the belief that we are a body-mind. But the body is in the Divine Mind that I Am and I am the Divine Heart and I am Love and I am Source and its connection throughout the Universe and Beyond. That's What I Am. from Sunday Satsang 2 May2021
Happy April! I felt inspired to start a new segment today called Teaching Thursday!I got inspired because I have acquired so much useful knowledge the past 5 years and I feel so compelled to do that in a different format. Fun fact I love to teach (although you may have known that - it helps me organize information!)The whole point of this series is to help you become Response-ABLE! You know from our interview series that responsibility has come up as a major theme when you want to change your life and I want to help you respond with more skill! Today I decided to talk about the difference between the subconscious and conscious mind in a little more detail as well as the fear program that seems to be running rampant today (especially with Ontario going back into lockdown)..I would really appreciate your feedback and please let me know if there is anything you want to hear more about. Right now my plan is to talk about questions I get from clients and I have sort of come up with ideas based off that. This is for YOU though so I want to make sure you are getting something from it!There is no fancy intro/production and I plan on releasing these every Thursday so no this is not a weird April Fool’s prank!Hope you enjoy and can’t wait to hear your thoughts - thank you for the support so far!
Have you ever felt bad about how you reacted to something? Something happens that is stressful or unpleasant, you get upset or angry, and you say or do something you wish you hadn't? In today's episode, we discuss the difference between reacting and responding, as well as the importance of taking responsibility for your actions and choosing to be response-able. During our chat, we refer to our ‘principles'.

Over the past 30 years, shifts in language-in-education policies have resulted in the marginalisation and exclusion of world languages in the Australian education system. This has resulted in an English-for-all literacy mindset. These policy shifts have reduced access to world languages education in Australia. On this episode, we speak with Danielle Heinrichs from the Faculty of Education at the University of Queensland. Who draws on disciplines such as sociolinguistics, and critical theories to explore the notion of response-able language practices with relation to Spanish as a world language in the Australian education system?. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/suren-ladd/message
Accepting responsibility for what happens in our lives empowers us. We see our part in the creation of our circumstance and we know we can change it. Looking externally for someone or something to blame leaves us at the effect of what happens, rather than the cause. In this way, we have no power; we are victims of our circumstance. When we are managing our emotions, we can respond to what happens, giving us an opportunity to positively affect our perceptions, behavior and decision making. We are response-able. In reactive mode, where our thinking minds are disengaged, we are at the mercy of what happens. Taking responsibility is understanding that we are creative powerful beings who are given choice and therefore are truly at the cause of our circumstance. Everything that happens is for our benefit and we worked to create it in our lives. Why? Because we need the experience to learn what we came here to learn. While we often can not control what happens, we can always control what we do about what happens. We have two choices: we can react and place blame on other people or situations or we can respond by simply working to make it better. It is one hundred percent our choice.

Giving up control calls for a different way of looking at things
We are in unprecedented times. The effects of Coronavirus/ COVID-19 are rapidly moving through humanity, triggering fear, discomfort, illness, death, and uncertainty, and revealing imbalances in our systems/structures (e.g., financial, healthcare, businesses). People are being asked/ required to stay home/ quarantine/ socially distance. The human mind doesn't generally do well in quiet; people don't typically embrace it or the self-reflection it allows. With external distractions minimized amidst the pandemic, people are invited to go within, to the only place where their truth—and the magic it can unleash—can be found. >>more on Episode Webpage
"Everything can be taken from a man but one thing: the last of the human freedoms—to choose one's attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one's own way.” ~Viktor Frankl This "tweener" Mind Bullet episode centers around how we respond to situations beyond our control—a fitting topic that comes during a time of great uncertainty throughout the world. Last week we addressed the Covid-19 virus and the idea of timing, including how important it is to pause and reflect on how the environment can dictate our behavior. This week we expand on that idea, discussing the importance of our response to what's happening around us. Viktor Frankl's book, Man's Search for Meaning, shares many lessons to aid and guide our response to situations beyond our control. "Those who have a 'why' to live, can bear with almost any 'how'.” In trying times, sometimes the one thing we can control is our response to what's happening. What attitude are you choosing? How are you going to respond? Listen in for more on challenging yourself when you can't change your situation, finding meaning and purpose no matter what happens, and choosing an attitude of positivity when faced with uncertainty. Enjoy the episode!

This morning as we pick up the story of the Thessalonian church, we get glimpse of how God spoke in a real way to alter their lives forever. Their experience is a case study for us of how God works using human words to speak to us. The question this morning is, can we hear?

E+R=O … don't just learn it. Here's how to live it! Event + RESPONSE = Outcome. Success in life and work is not determined by the Events you experience. Success is determined by how you Respond. Purpose of this Episode To empower you to experience success in your life and work no matter what circumstances you face by living E+R=O (Events + RESPONSE = Outcome).

E+R=O (Events + RESPONSE = Outcome) guarantees you can experience success in your life and work because it empowers you to be Response-ABLE. Your RESPONSE, instead of the events you face, becomes the primary factor in the outcomes you experience.

E+R=O - Many of us have experienced painful, upsetting, tragic events in our lives. Many of us believe we were born at the wrong time, in the wrong country, with the wrong skin color, or other circumstance. It's understandable that we use these events and circumstances as evidence to support a belief in limited potential for ourselves. It's easy to blame the event, but is it fair? Can it really be the event or circumstance when other people have experienced the same, yet have risen above it and thrived? It is not the event. It is your response to the event that produces the outcome. You can always claim: "I Am 100% Response-Able!"

Another definition of Responsibility is Response-Ability: our ability to response to whatever life offers us at any given moment. The more able we are to responding to what life throws at us, the more effective we will be in addressing life challenges and the closer we will move toward our best self and our life ambitions. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/thetomjbullpodcast/support
Today’s expression and dialog: a kerfuffle What’s all the kerfuffle about? The lady in 407 has an alligator! What? That’s crazy! I know, but she says it’s her pet.

The website is for "married people" who are "BORED" with their relationship and just want "a little extra fun". Well, there was a HUGE KERFUFFLE because we now know that almost EVERY "woman" on the website was actually a MAN!!!! Hahahahahahahahahahaha!!!! Everyone, if you are married...be good. YOU made the choice, make your choice the RIGHT choice. Being a responsible husband/wife means you are RESPONSE ABLE...YOU make your responses. Make them good ones!! Oh, be quiet, Coach Shane!!

You are "Response-Able"! You have the ability to choose any response to any event. Are you choosing responses that leave you as the victim, or are you choose responses that are useful, beneficial to you and your setting, and move you forward in a positive way? The choice is yours, whether you think so or not. Choose wisely!

Someone else, certainly not us, is responsible for delivering happiness to our doorstep in a pretty box. There is only one person responsible for the life you live: YOU! Assume 100% responsibility for everything in or not in your life! Your achievements, results, quality of relationships, health, income, feelings, EVERYTHING! If you think other people or the government are responsible for giving you these things, then you better learn how to be happy with the things they give you! It's so much easier to play the blame game, but that leaves you a victim. My boss, my spouse, the economy, the government Take 100% responsibility for everything--your successes AND your failures. Even if you aren't, it serves you better to assume you somehow caused the situation--if you had a part in creating it, you can do something to change it! If you want to live the life of your dreams, you have to assume 100% responsibility for creating it--otherwise you live the life of someone else's dream! Starting today and for the rest of your life, assume 100% responsibility for everything that does or doesn't happen to you E+R=0 Jack Canfield learned it from Dr. Robert Resnick The Success Principles It all comes down to how you respond to events in your life. Your response it what controls the outcome It is not limiting factors (money, race, gender, governments, health) that stop you because many people have succeed under the same or worse conditions. If it's not the limiting factors, it must be the way they responded to the factors! It's not the event, it's the story you tell yourself about the event, the images you hold in your mind about the event and yourself. You only have total control over 3 things: the thoughts you think, the images you visualize, and the actions you take How you use these 3 things determines everything you experience If you want to change the outcome, change the story, rewrite the movie/images, choose a victorious, or just more useful response Example of being stuck in an airport because of canceled flights. Why are some people completely freaked out, yelling at ticket/gate agents, etc. and some take a big breath, sit down and read a book? Why is it that you cannot stand to be around a certain person, yet others love to be around that same person? Why do 2 people show up for the same job every day, one hates it, the other is happy to have a job? Stop complaining about things you cannot control or to people who cannot fix it. You can't change the weather! You can move somewhere else, but you can change what it is right now Your boss/coworker cannot fix your marriage, your spouse cannot fix your boss You just create a reputation of being a complainer and someone who gets upset about everything! You are "Response-Able"! You have the ability to respond to any event in a way that is useful to you, leaves you in control of your emotions, and moves you forward in a positive way. Choose a "useful" response! If stuck in a traffic jam, is it useful to get angry, frustrated and yell at people who can't hear you anyway? If your health suddenly changes, is it useful to be angry, grumpy, and convinced you cannot still have a good life and have a positive impact on people? If a relationship ends, is it useful to stay at home everyday, thinking about the past, and not go out, make friends and new relationships? sometimes,

Soteriology 101: Former Calvinistic Professor discusses Doctrines of Salvation
How can God justly hold man responsible in the Calvinistic system? John Piper continues to give his answer to this question and finishes his teaching on Total Depravity. We interact with each point in today's show. Let's dive in! To join our discussion visit us at www.soteriology101.com
Soteriology 101: Former Calvinistic Professor discusses Doctrines of Salvation
Earlier in the week I engaged with Dr. James White, host of the Dividing Line and notable Calvinistic scholar, on Twitter regarding the doctrine of Predestionation and election. Oh, and Stewie is back by popular demand. Below are some of the messages from the twitter discussion from my side of the discussion and this podcast dives in a little deeper on the subject. Enjoy! "From Augustine of Hippo to the twentieth century, Western Christianity has tended to interpret the doctrine of election from the perspective of and with regard to individual human beings. During those same centuries the doctrine has been far less emphasized and seldom ever controversial in Eastern Orthodoxy. Is it possible that Augustine and later Calvin, with the help of many others, contributed to a hyper individualization of this doctrine that was hardly warranted by Romans 9-11, Eph. 1, and I Peter 2? Is it not true that the major emphasis in both testaments falls upon an elect people -- Israel (OT) and disciples or church (NT)?" Now, whether you acknowledge the FACT that two different people can read the exact same sentence and understand it differently based on their cultural up bringing is not within my control, but it is a fact, not just my opinion. And the facts also reveal that the 1st Century culture of Jews and Greeks was very "us" and "them" (tribal), thus the perspective of God predetermining to justify, sanctify and glorify whosoever believes IN HIM regardless of their nationality is most certainly viable and worthy of objective consideration...much more so than your Westernized view of God predetermining certain individual to believe in him, a view clearly not reflected in any of the Early Church Fathers, OR in much of the current cultures who view the text from the corporate perspective today. And of course Adoption and redemption is intensely personal. Who would deny that? Again, you still act as if this view is not equally inclusive of individuals being saved (adopted and redeemed) as your view is... BUT, is your adoption completed yet? Rom 8 indicates adoption is something 'we eagerly await'. So, did God predestine that all who believe would be adopted, and that is why we have hope in that coming adoption, OR does it say that God predetermined individuals to believe so as to be adopted? Again, it is a perspective shift, and BOTH perspectives equally involve individuals. Are you now equating the concept of God's "creating an autonomous creature" with His "creating another God?" Now, who is making categorical errors? So, as to be clear, are you saying that God could NOT, even if he wanted to, create a creature who is autonomously free to make his own moral determinations, because that in itself would be EQUAL to him recreating Himself? Is that your argument? Secondly, man's responsibility is most clearly and undeniably taught though out all of scripture. I happen to believe being response-able is equal to being "autonomous" or as some call it, "contra-causally free" (the ability of the will to refrain or not refrain from a given moral action). The fact that Compatibilism even exists affirms the reality of the biblical teaching regarding such matters, otherwise you'd all be hard determinists without the need to explain how such texts are 'compatible' with your deterministic views. Third, ironically your explanation regarding the difference between the personhood and being of God is very much parallel to how I would attempt to explain my particular take on the mystery of God's omniscience in light of his creation of morally accountable free creatures...if I were so bold as to tackle such a mysterious matter via Twitter. Do you appeal to mystery regarding anything, Doctor? And what if God so ordained for autonomous freedom to come to pass? Or is that what you think is beyond his creative abilities? Maybe I'm not being clear so allow me to quote from AW Tozer to make this point: "God sovereignly decreed that man should be free to exercise moral choice, and man from the beginning has fulfilled that decree by making his choice between good and evil. When he chooses to do evil, he does not thereby countervail the sovereign will of God but fulfills it, inasmuch as the eternal decree decided not which choice the man should make but that he should be free to make it. If in His absolute freedom God has willed to give man limited freedom, who is there to stay His hand or say, 'What doest thou?' Man’s will is free because God is sovereign. A God less than sovereign could not bestow moral freedom upon His creatures. He would be afraid to do so." - A.W. Tozer, The Knowledge of the Holy: The Attributes of God Responsible or punishable? Because you deny, or at least the tenets of your dogma denies that man is "able to respond." (Total Inability) When Calvinist say men are "responsible" I think they mean that men are justly punished due to the federal headship and Fall of Adam, which I likewise affirm, but when I speak of mankind be RESPONSE-ABLE (able to respond) I'm talking about their being held to account for how they respond (for or against) to God's revelation and appeal for reconciliation after the fall. Are you saying lost man IS ABLE to willingly respond to God's revelation? If not, I'm not sure how you can use the term 'responsible' given its connotation of actually being "able to respond." Maybe consider another word? Culpable? Guilty? So you never 'hide behind mystery,' you have it all figured out and explained? Of course you appeal to mystery on some points...as we know all Calvinists must when it comes to the question of why all his children aren't granted the ability to accept Calvinistic soteriology (Why wasn't CS Lewis Calvinistic? God's choice? Why? Mystery?). We all appeal to mystery at some point in this debate. To claim, as you do, that "God's Word provides clear answers" begs the question up for debate by presuming the Word of God clearly supports your dogma. If anything is clear about this topic is that we, believers, haven't had clarity (or at least uniformity) on it since about the time of Augustine. I think you mean that your view of the scripture is clear to you, which I could likewise claim...but that doesn't help the discussion much. The parallel has to do with the Personhood as it reflects His Immanence and his Being as it reflects His Transcendence, all of which is best summed up in an appeal to mystery, because such matters shouldn't be approached with any more certainty than that which is revealed in the text. To presume upon the text, as I believe Calvinism does, that God must be unable to create response-abled people, on the basis that He knows their responses beforehand is short-sighted at best. My point regarding 'responsibility' has to do with its given connotations, as it makes little sense to call someone responsible who is born unable to respond. We wouldn't call an infant responsible. Why? He isn't able to respond. We don't hold mentally handicap responsible because we recognize their INABILITIES to control themselves. I'm merely suggesting that for clarity you use a word like "guilty" when explaining your view because mankind, according to Calvinism is actually held culpable for God's responses (or His determinations as to how mankind will certainly "respond"...if you can call that a 'response') As to your comments about going beyond the limits of revelation, I could not agree more. But who is going beyond those limits in this case? The guy who says, "I don't know because the bible doesn't reveal enough for us to come to a conclusion as to how man is free while God is omniscient, I just believe both are clearly revealed to be the case (something even Compatibilists affirm)," or the man who denies one seemingly clear truth (human responsibility) due to the mysterious nature of how it works with the other (divine foreknowledge)? BTW, both of us could accuse the other of denying the 'truth' of a text because they don't like what it says. The point regarding the appeal to mystery is that I could likewise accuse you of "hiding behind it" just as atheists are notorious to doing to believers... but it is self defeating unless you never appeal to mystery yourself. Begging the question is to presume true the very point up for debate, and the question up for debate here is which of our views IS clearly supported by the text. Your statements which ultimately claim, "The bible clearly supports my view," are nothing more than question begging fallacies. I learned when judging CX debate years ago that the easiest way to spot question begging is to ask yourself if the opponent could make the exact same statement. We all know you believe your views to be true, but stating that the bible clearly supports your views doesn't amount to more than "I'm right because you're wrong." And one point you refused to engage is this: Either I'm right, or I'm determined by God's sovereign decree to be wrong. Either way, you are debating God... Good luck. :)
