If we do not have free will to choose our salvation.
All have sinned,and come short of the glory of God.
Our righteousness is as filthy rags.
Our works cannot save us.
There is no one that does good,no,not one.
God is no respecter of persons.
The Bible says what makes you to differ from another person.
Jesus said that all people who does the will of God,the same is His mother,brethren,and sisters,and all who hear the word of God,and does it,is as blessed as Mary.
God put all people on the same level as each other,and all have sinned,and come short of the glory of God.
So why would God choose in the beginning who would be saved,and not saved,when all people are on the same level,and in the same boat.
God is not evil.To say that God did not choose some people that had no choice,would say that God condemns people that did nothing wrong,and if they do not have a choice then why would they be punished.
God's kingdom is love.To say that God chooses who will be saved would say that God's kingdom is not love,because they have no choice but to love Him.
If God chooses who will be saved,and not saved,without their input,why did God create mankind to dwell on earth,and put up with all the problems,and chaos,and hurt,and suffering,when He could of created them to be directly with Him,and bypass creation of the earth,for the result,and reality,would of been the same.
For is we do not have a choice,then the ones that are saved,are saved,and the ones that are not saved,are not saved,and they can do nothing about it,so why create the earth,and have all this suffering that goes on,when God could of bypassed the earth,and it would be the same result,and reality anyway,for they do not have a choice anyway,for they will choose,or not choose,according as God willed,and have no input in their salvation.
The Bible says many are called,but few are chosen,so God does the calling,and choosing on earth.
Not many noble,not many mighty,not many wise after the flesh,are called.
We did not choose God,He chose us.
God knows the heart condition,and those with the right heart condition He will work with them to get them to the truth,and without God intervening in their life they would of not gotten to the door of truth,for no person comes to the Son unless the Father draws them,and no person says Jesus is Lord,but by the Holy Spirit.
But when they get to the door of truth it is up to them to open the door,for God's kingdom is love,but God gets the glory,and chose us for without His intervention in our life we would of never gotten to the door of truth.
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.
1Ti 4:10 For therefore we both labour and suffer reproach, because we trust in the living God, who is the Saviour of all men, specially of those that believe.
2Pe 3:9 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.
Joh 1:9 That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world.
Act 17:30 And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent:
Act 17:31 Because he hath appointed a day, in the which he will judge the world in righteousness by that man whom he hath ordained; whereof he hath given assurance unto all men, in that he hath raised him from the dead.
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.
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.
How did God choose who will be saved,and not saved,when He wants everybody to be saved,and said anybody can have that salvation.
Those scriptures testify that God gave us a choice in our salvation,for He wants all people to be saved,and Jesus lights every person that is born in to this world,which means everybody can see the light of Jesus and be saved,which the Spirit and bride say,anybody can have that salvation.
I do not understand how some people interpret scriptures,for God says one thing that is plain to see,and they say it is not so.
