I take very minor issue to this statement, though:<br /><br /><i>Arminians hold that men retain the ability to reject God; that God could force all men to eventually love and follow him is inconsistent with such belief.</i><br /><br />Someone might believe that God <i>could</i> force all men to do, feel, or believe whatever He pleases but that He has chosen not to do so. Therefore men retain the ability to choose or reject God, while God retains the ability to force men to accept him. I'm not overly conversant with Arminianism or Calvinism, so this could just be a misunderstanding on my part. <br /><br />From your descriptions here, I'd call myself an Annihilationist-leaning Inclusivist, but definitely not a Universalist. Someday I hope to have the time to study heaven and hell. In the meantime, I'll have to settle for leaning.jay chttp://www.historycarper.com/wordpressnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7993518718588952892.post-28069341077651190232011-04-13T22:21:19.879+12:002011-04-13T22:21:19.879+12:00Thank Kevin.

I'd just been reading some other Christian blogs that were not nearly so thoughtful, more gun-toting than theological. I swear I'm a real person though! Also, it's not that I have a blocked profile, it's probably just that I haven't put anything in it yet. <br />I feel like I've rambled enough in your comments, so if you'd like to talk more, my email is patwalling86 at gmail dot com.Patriciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05789920735036057525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7993518718588952892.post-69884905354746711722011-04-08T14:38:49.197+12:002011-04-08T14:38:49.197+12:00Thanks Stripe.

I think Arminian aptly describes my current thinking.<br /><br />Patricia, perhaps. Though you comment is generic enough I am uncertain if it was written by a person or a bot.
