One thing I hate about this chatroom is the small time to edit your post.. Most chatrooms you can edit at any time.
Sometimes we do not find errors until it is too late.
@MeowFlower I will try to correct error in formatting above so you can understand
You said
Ie, We can not chose to understand and believe
I stated we do it all the time
you then came back and said not everyone
You did not even defend what your originally said, then flip flopped and changed what you said to not everyone. then still falsely accuse me.
Can you show me where I erred in what you said in your first post about no one being able to chose to believe?
Then you said
Yes he is, He elected or chose to do his will in that everyone who sees and believes will have eternal life. and be resurrected on the last day. and non would be lost (john 6)
His sovereignty is intact. His omniscience is perfect. and still everyone has free will to chose to say yes Lord. apply your gift to me. or no lord I reject your gift.
finally you said
You said
This is why Jesus answered his Disciples who asked why he taught the Gospel in parables.
To you it was given to understand but to them it was not given.
My response.
To you it was forgiven.. these men were already part of Gods family,. already saved by faith
but to them it is hidden - These people already rejected christ, and were already lost. so he hid things from them.
