    Yet more obfuscation. More deflection. More trying to stop the discussion of the response to seeing miracles.

    I contend you know that the answer is that God does not treat everyone the same but you won't say it because it blows your position out of the water.

    You said God does not treat everyone the same?

    Ah I see it now, but that disagrees with what you post in a lot of places. I thought you were trying to mock those of us that believe that. So if he has mercy on whom he has mercy why are you anti-doctrines of grace again?

    Read post #55 items 1 and 2. Stop posting off topic deflections.

    It's not off topic. It shows that you are wishy washy on this whole topic of how God draws and saves and what man's ability is.

    Yet another off topic deflection, addressing me and not the topic, why would more of the people in those cities repent if they saw more miracles?

    Because God would have given them the ability to believe and then drawn them to himself with miracles.

    Yet another post addressing me, yet more deflection. Calvinism is defended by deflection, ad homenim and absurdity.

    More fabrication, more fiction, more rewrite of scripture. This is all they have folks.
    The people were supposedly chosen before creation, thus the same number in those cities would have responded according Calvinism, but Jesus says differently.

    As I said, Calvinism is defended with absurdity. The supposedly elect people in those cities were supposedly chosen before creation, thus the same number in those cities would have responded according Calvinism, but Jesus says differently.

    How did Jesus say differently. That is my question to you that you have now dodged.

    The evidence is in, the truth has been revealed, if the people in those cities had seen more miracles, more would have repented. Jesus knows the hearts of those He is referring to. He is not mistaken. Thus they had the limited spiritual ability to respond to God's revelation, if presented.

    You obfuscate with no stop nonsense questions, such as do I believe what I believe.

    Van I ask questions for clarification. And if you wouldn't go on tirades of obfuscate and just clarify then we wouldn't have this.

    You don't have to post deflections, absurdities or ad homenims.

This passage, Matthew 11:20-24 clearly teaches people can choose to repent and so once again the doctrine of compulsion is shown to be bogus.
