Featured THE LORD IS…NOT WILLING THAT ANY OF YOU SHOULD PERISH

You just nailed it. The OP has given many variants of a saved by works theology and has been rebuffed in every thread. Yet, the OP persists in demanding he is the only one who isn't duped. For the OP, it seems to be the OP against the world. However, if the OP is correct, God is not willing that anyone perish, therefore all of us will not perish, whether we agree with the OP or not.
The OP has a massive dilemma in which he cannot extract himself. Therefore, he speaks with bluster as his only means of argument.
Your engagement with the OP has been on point. It has addressed the passage and provided a reasoned understanding to readers. Thank you. We continue to hope that the OP will have eyes to see. I once struggled with this issue as the OP does. Reading God's word in combination with God graciously opening my eyes lead me to understand his unmerited favor to the elect.

 

It makes me sad that you feel this way. I once held a similar thought to yours, but God helped me as I read scripture. I cannot go back and close my eyes to what God clearly says. Please note that I referenced many passages in my earlier response. My position is not from ignorance of God's word. Therefore your accusations cannot be coming from the Spirit of God.

 

This is a different topic. Start a new thread regarding Jesus not doing many miracles in the town of Nazareth.

 

Yes, why could he do no mighty work? Because of unbelief. The people were not coming to him. This in no way suggests that Jesus did not have the power to do the work.

 

Where does it say God desires the salvation of every single person? Is God not powerful enough to make it so?

 

God is willing that none of the ELECT will perish. If God did not will someone to perish, they would not perish. So either you don't believe God to be all powerful or you are a universalist.

 

My friend, I have been reading and studying God's word for over 50 years. Seeking God to open his word to me. Ignorance of what the Bible says is not my problem.
Now, I ask you to review how you have spoken in this thread. You no longer attempt to teach. Instead you call every person who disagrees with you..."ignorant"... or some variant of the word. Your words are not coming from the Spirit of God. In fact, your words are contradicting your claim that God will not allow any human to perish since you are insinuating that myself and others will perish because we don't accept your reading and interpretation of 2 Peter 3.

I appreciate your prayers for me. I am a sinner in need of prayer. I hope that you are also praying over your self as you respond. Could you possibly entertain the idea that God has brought us here to correct your misunderstanding and point you toward God who is Sovereign over all and will not allow any of His children to perish in His next judgment of fire?

 

Jesus as God could do anything he wanted to at any time. But He reprobated. those people on the spot compared Matthew chapter 12 verses 38 -41

 

Peter wrote that so the Believers would have hope as they evangelized their friends and relatives and anyone they could that God is in control and going to save each and everyone given to him by the Father

 

Trying to make a difference between, 'us' & 'you', to deny Election.

There is no difference and like Jonah said, "Salvation is of The Lord".

 

So human will is more powerful than God's will? Is God too weak so that even though God wills all to be saved, human will chooses not to be saved and therefore man's will trumps God's will?

Since Romans 3 says...

What then? Are we Jews any better off? No, not at all. For we have already charged that all, both Jews and Greeks, are under sin, as it is written: “None is righteous, no, not one; no one understands; no one seeks for God. All have turned aside; together they have become worthless; no one does good, not even one.” “Their throat is an open grave; they use their tongues to deceive.” “The venom of asps is under their lips.” “Their mouth is full of curses and bitterness.” “Their feet are swift to shed blood; in their paths are ruin and misery, and the way of peace they have not known.” “There is no fear of God before their eyes.”

... therefore God must not be able to heal humans of their own sin.

Do you see the fallacy of your thinking? I pray you do.

1 Timothy 2:1-6 read in context shows this is talking about all types of people, not all individuals.
John 3:16 doesn't even address the issue.
2 Peter 3 we have already shown your error.

 

Correct, it is a nonsense argument.
