Every single gentile without exception? You don't think this is a general statement about God opening salvation to more than just Jews?

Is that philosophy?

I showed in the KJV which you requested that it says the same thing.

I'm pretty sure almost everything about Christianity is foolish to unbelievers. :P

Show me where scripture says God grants repentance to every single person that exists.

Show me where it says "Without exception" please.

17 For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel: not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of none effect. 18 For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God. 19 For it is written, I will...

Is preaching the cross, not the Gospel?

This is irrelevent. Jesus drawing all people doesn't mean everyone is able to save themselves.... Who is Jesus talking to in John 12? 20 Now there were some Greeks among those who went up to worship at the festival. 21 They came to Philip, who was from Bethsaida in Galilee, with a request...

I don't understand your argument then. If scripture doesn't say it's granted to everyone without exception, how can you then argue that it does?

1 Corinthians 1 For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. What's the message of the cross? Isn't that the gospel? What is foolishness to those who are perishing? Isn't it the message of the cross?

Show me where it says it is granted to all of them individually. I don't recall that statement.

Yes he is. How then does he become not hostile. God changes his heart. Right? David seemed to understand that it is God who does the primary work in changing our hearts when he pleaded with God: Create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me. 11 Do not cast me...

It's a legitimate question about what you believe.

Seems kind of arbitrary my friend. Inconvenient verse gets a new meaning. :P

Granting repentance is less in terms of granting permission and more in terms of receiving a grant. It's the act of giving it to someone.

You seemed to imply you disagree with Total Depravity. So you believe then humans aren't that depraved, right? That we have some measure of spiritual ability?

How were they born again? 9 The true light that gives light to everyone was coming into the world. 10 He was in the world, and though the world was made through him, the world did not recognize him. 11 He came to that which was his own, but his own did not receive him. 12 Yet to all who did...

There What I am asking you is, what enables a spiritually dead person to have spiritual life? Isn't it God that gives us spiritual life? Isn't that what it means when 2 Timothy 2 and other place say that God grants us repentence? 24 And the Lord’s servant must not be quarrelsome but must be...

Okay, so they heard the gospel. Then they believed. Ok. What does this scripture have anything to do with whether or not a spiritually dead person can raise themselves, or how grace is received?
