I have her on ignore, but can read quoted posts.
She thinks we think God ignores those who call upon Him?!?!?! That's why you can't have civil talks with them. They accuse us of things we don't believe. God answers ALL who call upon Him in faith. He rejects none who seek Him. There's a clear disconnect in their theology they can't see is there. They think ppl walk around seeking Him but the bible says in Psalm 14 and Romans 3 that NONE understand, NONE seek Him. 1 Cor. 2:14 says the man w/o the Spirit will not receive the things of the Spirit, but rather, considers it foolishness, neither can they understand the things of the Spirit because they are SPIRITUALLY discerned.
Outside the drawing of the Spirit, NONE would seek Him. But they conflate God's drawing with trying really, really, REALLY, hard, but if they refuse that really hard attempt, God can't save them. God's drawing is an inward power, impel, lead, to literally drag off. Not dragging us kicking and screaming, but effectually drawing ppl.
God could raise the physically dead w/o their assistance, but the spiritually dead? Naw!! He needs their cooperation. They can have that 'god'. God quickens whoever He wills, and doesn't have to first gain their approval.
This comes down to a very high view of man and a horribly low view of God. Romans 9:20 and Romans 1:22 at work here. Sad. Really sad.
