We can not have eternal life without God - its either death or life. As humans we do not have immortality without God. Everything else you are reading into the verses.

Well I am glad other people see it too.

Must be something to read an entire book like the Bible with a negative dimensional lens to support a false system of salvation.
 
Have you never read that the Fear of the Lord is the beginning of all Wisdom? Is it Fear or Cowardice that God hates?
Does God want us to be afraid of Him or to be in great awe of Him?

Go ahead and live in fear, even when you know perfect love casts out fear, and the fearful will be cast into the lake of fire.

According to you, then, you will be right there with them.

Though my Bible says there is no condemnation for those in Christ Jesus.

Do you not believe the Bible? Pity...

I wonder if they believe they do not have free will because it frees them from their responsibility for their actions and words. Sounds like a very disorderly life.
Were you not set free in Christ? It seems you have zero understanding of this.

You want to believe the will is free before being set free
and then not free after being set free.

Such confusion you espouse!

If He didn't, no one would be saved. They would be forced to come to a knowledge of God using human reasoning. 1 Corinthians 1:21 says that isn't possible.

So you think the gospel is Calvinism but you are not a Calvinist.?

21 For since in the wisdom of God the world through its wisdom did not know him, God was pleased through the foolishness of what was preached to save those who believe. I Cor 1:21

The truth is apparent but it is also apparent that you do not see what God has allowed those with eyes to see, to see.

PREACHED....not inserted the Holy Spirit AGAINST a person's will.

I can't wait to hear whatever boorish twisting of the word you cough up

That's exactly what He is saying. If God doesn't act, no one will be saved.

He did act. For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

But like you said, you are saved anyway even if you don't believe what scripture states if you believe in Jesus and that He died in your stead.

It is like dealing with a two year old, and they have put something where it does not belong, and you have it on video and they still

deny what is plainly a fact.

No, I don't believe Calvinism is the gospel. I do believe the tenets of Calvinism reflect biblical truth that undergirds and explains the gospel.

It takes God to open eyes and understanding? That sounds like revelation. Better be careful. Your cohorts don't believe revelation is necessary to salvation.

What has been twisted is the suggestion that I believe the Spirit forces anyone against their will.

You probably should work on your people skills.

That's the point. All the results are due to the activity of God; not man.

The unbiblical tenet is unconditional election .. where only some are chosen and enlightened... be clear.
