You are changing the text it says God has given to every man a measure of faith. Those who exercise faith it will grow, those who don't it will die. When people will be judges as the Bible says every one will be judged, then people will have no excuse. If God does not give to all people faith and mercy and an opportunity then people will have an excuse and it will be God's fault they are lost.

Death is a seperation. All of the bible is written to God's elect to instruct them how they are to live their, lives while upon this earth. Romans 1 starts off with a salutation to all that be in Rome, beloved of God, called to be saints. God has wrath for those of his elect that turn away from him and he chastens them. God does not chasten those that are not his elect (Ps 73:5 & Job 21:9.) These people he is condeming in Rom 1 are his disobedient children, and they have seperated themselves from fellowship with God, but they have not lost their eternal salvation. All scripture must harmonise to understand the truth.

To act upon faith and belief is a work of man. Webester's dictionary says "Work, in theology, is a moral act distinguished from faith. Our eternal salvation is not by the work of man, but by the grace of God. If our faith and belief is the cause of our eternal salvation, then we are saved by the works of man, and that idea will not harmonise with the other scriptures. All scripture must harmonise to understand the truth.
It is impossible for fallen man to choose God,
There is no desire to know Him, God must draw (drag) him.
So you can think that you chose to believe but without God dragging
you to Him, you would not, and could not believe.
Joh 3:19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.
Joh 3:20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.
Joh 3:21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.

Shroom, you don't believe in Thayer's, now you don't believe in Webester's dictionary, I have seen that you do believe in other men's false interpretation of the scriptures. Webester's difinition of death in theology is a seperation or alienation of the soul from God, which is called a spiritual death.
So what your saying is that God is helpless to save man,
And mans will is stronger than God's,
And the Devil will win, because if I remember right the devil
takes captive at his (free will ) so......
Wow what a powerless God you serve.
There is no such thing as free will Shroom.
But I suppose you need to hold on to that to make you feel
superior.
