And that they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, who are taken captive by him at his will. 2 Tim 2:26 (KJV) "They" is the man, not the man's will.

I haven't interviewed all of them and neither have any historians. I'm not sure I'd trust their testimony if I did. But God gives each one a sufficient opportunity to be saved during their lifetime. God put each one of them in their time & place for the specific purpose that they should seek...

The will or the man? Where does the Bible say that the will is a captive or slave?

What is your question?

Those passages talk about man, not man's will. The will, as distinct from the other parts or aspects of the immaterial part of a man (soul, imagination, heart, etc.) is the choosing-capacity or choosing-mechanism; the "chooser". It's function never changes. Whether the man is saved, unsaved...

The will is bent?

Have you ever heard of a slave escaping? They use their God-given will. They see something superior to their current incarceration and see that it's available, and choose it. The publican who said, "God, be merciful to me a sinner" was unsaved and a slave to sin when he willfully made the...

Amen.

Scripture says nothing about the Israelites being inanimate wind-up toys. They complied with His deliverance. It doesn't say "Gentiles". It says: ... God, who is the Saviour of all men, specially of those that believe. 1 Tim 4:10 (KJV)

Do you mean like all the Old Testament era saints?

You seem to have a hard time seeing people as non-puppets. Who taught you that; Larry, Moe, or Curly?

That's exactly what I described: The Exodus was the deliverance of God's chosen earthly people-group ... Wrong. They complied. They weren't wind-up toys. He's both: ... God, who is the Saviour of all men, specially of those that believe. 1 Tim 4:10 (KJV)

Absolutely. Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth Isaiah 45:22 (KJV) And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up: 15 That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life. John 3:14-15 (KJV) And the LORD...

Yes, God definitely intervenes with different people in different ways. But He gives each one a sufficient opportunity to be saved during their lifetime.

But that help from God isn't initially regeneration; it's seasonal intervention in a man's affairs, which includes reproving and preaching of the gospel.

I don't know what quote you're referring to. Do you know of a case, since the existence of the constitution, where a U.S. citizen has been fined or imprisoned for not voting? I can't think of any. It must not be a law of the land. Apparently they can't vote in good conscience. When they vote...

For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men Titus 2:11 (KJV)

The Holy Spirit, who inspired them, knew about the whole world.

It doesn't seem to be. I think it's a 2nd coming (Rev 19) verse. One taken in death: body/eagles gathered.
