I do not believe Jesus committed blasphemy as you claimed. That makes it
a false accusation, regardless of what whoever else believed 2,000 years ago.
Scripture attests to that fact that Jesus is God, and further says that those
who do not believe the record of Scripture about Jesus, call God a liar.
1 John 5:10

1 John 5:10
I use what Scholars would conclude is the oldest known copy to exist.
Also, I believe anyone living today is only guessing. No One Alive today can factually with all certainty say with absolute knowledge that is undoubtedly the TRUTH.
That is why I Trust the core information we have on record from our very own Church Fathers.
In fact, the personal Disciples to the Apostle John have added many clues to what the Scriptures are saying.
I would NEVER Trust any viewpoint coming from a Lexicon.

What you can do is earnestly pray to God, acknowledge and repent of your sins.
In 2 Peter 3:9 The Lord is not slack but is long suffering towards us (those who are saved), those whose name are written in the book of life. He is also talking about future converts whose names are also written in His book of Life. He does not shut the door on humanity because He is not willing that any of them perish but for all of them to hear the gospel and come to repentance and be saved.

Jerome translated the Hebrew and Greek to correct the versions to establish a truer translation of the Old Testament.
He did the same with the Koine Greek and even verified there was an original Gospel of Matthew written in Aramaic/Hebrew.
He knew what he was doing and translated them properly and correctly.

It is the opposite, scripture is clear faith is required to be saved. People are morally capable to believe or not believe.
It actually is not.
The word ‘gift’ is nominative which clarifies that it is salvation that is the gift, not faith.
There are three words that are in the subject or nominative case, and they all agree together: saved, this, and gift. The gift of God is not faith — it is SALVATION.
What does dead mean?
Does it mean morally incapable to you, if that is what you think scripture is stating than yes people cannot have faith.
But that is not what "dead" means, "dead" means separated, not morally incapable.
People hear the Gospel and some people are persuaded it is truth based on many different personal factors and they accept the free gift offered to them by faith.
The entire call of the Gospels, become like a child, etc., is meaningless if faith is bequeathed to some and not others.

You steadily repeat your assertion, you are steadfastly corrected. Your sincerity and bulldog determination would be admirable, if you were correct. I know of many Muslims that are sincere to the extreme.
Maybe one day you can review the hundreds of verses throughout out Scripture that use the word “Choose,” and understand that God decided that humans would be created with the ability to choose, just as the Angels- whom we will serve.
To not be able to choose, gives man an excuse, the same one Satan used when arguing with God when He told him to check out Job.

God, in His omniscience, already knows our choices. However, his ‘Knowing” in no way precludes our choice.
We are all given ample opportunities. God’s justice is a part of His love, an important aspect that would be voided if He didn’t render it perfectly.: and satan’s arguments would be valid.

What many are not grasping is we are discussing a God Who knows the END from the BEGINNING.
So He just doesn't know from BEGINNING to END but from END to BEGINNING.
God has made an ATTEMPT at every junction of a person's life giving them every chance to Follow Him. He is working from the ENDS of their Lives as they are living their life from the BEGINNING working towards the END.
This is why He is JUSTIFIED come Judgement Day.

what does it say of you don’t alter it ?
“The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish,
but that all should come to repentance.
2 Peter 3:9 KJV
it says God is patient towards mankind because it’s not Gods Will for anyone to perish , it’s his Will that all come to repentance and don’t perish
Its simply Peter preaching the gospel Jesus taught him
“I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.”
Luke 13:3 KJV
He said that because he doesn’t want us to perish , but it only benefits those who hear and believe so he makes the constant case that anyone who believes in him will be saved ( not perish ) but be saved from it.
People should realize God doesn’t impose his Will on mankind he informs them of the ending of thier current course and offers an alternate path and outcome and says believe me and youll
Be saved
his will Isn’t for anyone to sin and die it’s never been his Will from day one he told mankind about the present danger and warned them not to do it or they would die.
because again it’s not Gods Will for man to sin and die but even though it wasn’t Gods Will for Adam to sin and die , adams Will was to eat the fruit because the tempter told him “God lied it wasn’t going to hurt them”
God has made his Will clear in Christ he’s done it all to save us , now he says believe the gospel I’ve done to save you and you won’t perish
his Will is expressed he is waiting to see what we choose by our free Will

I am definitely correct, and I don't know of anyone who has yet proven me wrong.
If I'm not correct, then then there's no such thing as a Saviour because He as the Saviour in all possible ways with nothing being left outside of His salvation, is the basis of everything I believe and post - all of my posts in some form or another, point to Christ.
You, however, don't seem not to want it to be that way but instead believe that a person must also provide something in addition to that to become saved.
For some reason you appear unable to grasp or are unwilling to grasp the verses I've posted that tells us that the natural man cannot comprehend things spiritual though the verse is perfectly clear about it. I am not sure why that would be. Please explain what you've found in it that makes you doubt its veracity so that I can learn too. Here it is again:
[1Co 2:14 KJV]
14 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know [them], because they are spiritually discerned.
I don't get your comment about Muslims and what does sincerity have to do with anything?
Of course there are many verses that say choose, but how can anyone who is spiritually dead and has been blinded choose though a choice is presented to them - they can only choose based upon what they know, and they can't know the things of the Spirit because they are dead to the things of the Spirit. One first has to be given the Spirit to know the things of the Spirit - and that only comes
with spiritual rebirth.
The below verses explain perfectly the state of the unsaved. There are none who of themselves that can change that state.
[Jer 17:9 KJV]
9 The heart [is] deceitful above all [things], and desperately wicked: who can know it?
[Rom 3:10-18 KJV]
10 As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:
11 There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God.
12 They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one.
13 Their throat [is] an open sepulchre; with their tongues they have used deceit; the poison of asps [is] under their lips:
14 Whose mouth [is] full of cursing and bitterness:
15 Their feet [are] swift to shed blood:
16 Destruction and misery [are] in their ways:
17 And the way of peace have they not known:
18 There is no fear of God before their eyes.
[Jhn 6:65-66 KJV]
65 And he said, Therefore said I unto you, that no man can come unto me, except it were given unto him of my Father.
66 From that [time] many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with him.

amen it’s why he taught the gospel he’s informing them of the end of their current course because he knows
“I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.”
Luke 13:3
He’s telling them the end before it happens so they can believe and change the end that’s coming but when we won’t hear him and believe what he’s saying we’re remaining on the dark

yes a change of mind how we think really th ata what hearing and believing the things jesus said does for us ot brings us to repentance ( a changed mind )
“It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.”
John 6:63 KJV
“if so be that ye have heard him, and have been taught by him, as the truth is in Jesus: that ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts; and be renewed in the spirit of your mind; and that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.”
Ephesians 4:21-24 KJV
Becoming a disciple of Jesus changes how we think it’s the understanding we need
“I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.
And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.”
Romans 12:1-2 KJV
See mankind fell because they believed the wrong knowledge and it led them astray into sin
but they are saved when they repent and believe the right knowledge that leads them home to righteousness and eternal life
“And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we may know him that is true, and we are in him that is true, even in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life.”
1 John 5:20 KJV
Faith saves us because what we believe changes us inside first and then we become different outwardly
repentwncenis a life long journey but a decision we make that we aren’t going to sit in chains anymore as slaves to sin is part of it we think wrong like theres no escape we’re just poor sinners without even the right to choose life or death good or evil
but we’ve been given the choice of repentance righteousness and eternal life
