But if God is in control of everything where does "of evil" come from?
And "won't draw to God" if He doesn't give them the desire to?
1Ti 2:3 For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour;
1Ti 2:4 Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.
Rev 22:17 And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.
Act 10:34 Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons:
Act 10:35 But in every nation he that feareth him, and worketh righteousness, is accepted with him.
Joh 1:9 That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world.
God wants all people to be saved,and come to the knowledge of the truth,and anybody can have that salvation,because we have a choice,because God's kingdom is love.
Mat 22:14 For many are called, but few are chosen.
1Co 1:26 For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called.
God knows the heart condition of everyone on earth,and if their heart condition is in the right position,then God will call them,which some people's hearts are not in the right position,for they do not have too much care for other people,and in to self exaltation too much.
When a person is called,God will work in their life to try to get them to the truth.
Many are called,but few are chosen,which means we have a choice in the matter of salvation,for if not then all God called would be chosen,for He is working in their life to get the to the truth,but not all make it to that truth,so obviously we have a choice in our salvation.
For if God calls them,and is working with them,and they are not chosen,it is is obvious they had a choice in the matter,and never accepted the truth,or fell short of it,for it is not God's fault that was working in their life that they did not accept,or fell short,so it must be the person's fault,so they had a choice.
God wants all people to be saved,and anybody can have that salvation,and many are called,but few are chosen,so it is obvious we have a choice in the matter of salvation.
When God calls a person He works with them to try to get them to the truth,but not all are chosen,so it is obvious that we have a choice in our salvation.
God wants all people to come to the truth,and be saved,and many are called,but few are chosen.
We have a choice in our salvation.
And the saints predestined to salvation means that God already had the plan of salvation for mankind,before He laid down the foundation of the world,so it is the same as if this salvation already was in the beginning,the same as the Lamb was slain from the foundation of the world,although it was future,and the prophets blood shed from the foundation of the world,although it was future,for God calls things that have not happened yet,as though they already happened,for if it is a plan of God to happen in the future,it is the same as if it happened in the beginning,for it will surly come to pass with no hindrance,and this salvation is to whoever wants that salvation.
The Spirit,and bride,say,anybody can have that salvation.
God did not choose in the beginning,for many are called,but few are chosen,so God does the calling,and choosing on earth.
If God chose in the beginning,then how did He call them in the beginning,and why would God call some people,and not choose them.
Because we have a choice in the matter of salvation,for God is good,not evil,and His kingdom is love,not robotic love.
So it written,so let it be believed.Amen.
