Dr. Flower reads the introduction to his new book, The Potter's Promise: A Biblical Defense of Traditional Soteriology.

Recently Dr. White took up Dr. Flowers challenge to biblically establish the Calvinistic doctrine of Total Inability. This is Dr. Flowers, albeit lengthy, point by point rebuttal from the scripture. Notice that Dr. White never does answer the passages that Dr. Flowers brought up in his original challenge. He doesn't even attempt to explain the passages where 'deadness' is clearly not used to connote moral inability.

Dr. Flowers discussed passages like Isaiah 10; 2 Sam 21; Prov 21; Rom 9 where it appears to some that God is causing or bringing about the very evil He condemns.  Some texts seem to suggest that God is judging people for evil things He caused them to do. Yet, we know from James 1:13 that God cannot be tempted by evil nor does he tempt anyone to do evil. We know God is Holy and is not the author of moral evil, so why do some Christians insist these passages teach God causally determines all things (theistic determinism)?
