@LeeWoofenden I'm missing how Rev 3:20 is a strong free will argument. First of all it doesn't even say anything about choice, it says if you hear he will enter. Not anything about choosing to open the door. Second, I've always understood it as a reference to Song of Solomon. I can see how it could be understood to line up with free will, just seemed odd as one of your first passages to start an argument. Am I missing something?

Ah, the religious divide. I've recently learned that supplying sick kids with flat 7-Up is not an Irish Mammy thing: it's a Catholic Irish Mammy thing. Apparently Protestant Irish Mammies use boiled Coke. The things one learns.
