by understanding that evil people cast themselves into hell.
Mat 23:37
O Jerusalem, Jerusalem,
thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often
would I G2309 have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under
her wings, and
ye would G2309 not!
And there is no doubt whatsoever that this kind of calling and plea of Jesus God was repeated to:
-Pharaoh at the time of Exodus
-Canaanites at the time of the conquest
-ALL of the nations roundabout Jerusalem
How do we know this? Because some DID heed the call and some DID repent.
Furthermore, God sent prophets endlessly to Israel and Judah with this same plea.
And some DID repent.
All unforced, all an act of FREE WILL for those within the created order.
However, the Calvinistas think that post-fall "natural men" are all mindless robots programmed to destruction.
The Calvinites say that all created men are FATALLY flawed with doomsday programming where they suffer "total depravity" and a terminal condition of "total inability" to make ANY FREE WILL decision other than that which leads to the lake of fire.
And what's worse, they say that God, with full knowledge and intent, created BILLIONS of souls with no free will to choose Him,
in effect condemning them to the lake of fire, a predicament predicated upon a "rigged election lottery" that they are not in any way a party to, as the tally was finished before they were ever born.
