Apparently Santa has been reading too much Calvinist literature, and now it’s rubbing off on his elves. Check out Martin Glynn’s post here. :)

I appeal to every impartial mind...whether the mercy of God would not be far less gloriously displayed, in saving a few by his irresistible power, and leaving all the rest without help, without hope, to perish everlastingly, than in offering salvation to every creature, actually saving all that consent thereto, and doing for the rest all that infinite wisdom, almighty power, and boundless love can do, without forcing them to be saved, which would be to destroy the very nature that he had given them. -Predestination Calmly ConsideredCurrently Reading:

Wesleyan Arminian · The best of all is, God is with us. -Wesley
Hi Kevin. I found this quote from Moreland. Haven’t found the Wesley source via search engines. Have you come across something similar? Cheers.
Hi Bethyada, I’ve never heard a quote specifically like that attributed to Wesley. But he did address each of those ideas in different places.
He believed in sharing his faith (being an evangelist). He studied the Bible carefully (see this post). He was big on prayer, once saying “God will do nothing but in answer to prayer” . He didn’t talk too much directly about philosophy, but did value logical thinking. I remember reading somewhere that he also highly regarded the writings of John Locke.
All that to say he certainly could of said something like that, it’s not inconsistent with his thought, But I’ve never run across that particular quote.
Thanks.
