There are Some Who Believe That a Sinner Does Nothing to be Saved

That view seems to be geting close to what I read before, as 2 authors stated the real good news was that in death of Jesus, God reconciled all back to Himself, and its only those who refuse to get saved by actively rejecting jesus are lost. Not the Gospel!

 

Hebrews states to us that Jesus died for the many, correct?

 

Calvin would agree that Jesus death was sufficient to have saved all sinners, but was intended to save only those God would effectually apply it towards! Limited Atonement

 

if Jesus death atoned for all sinners, and reconcilled them all back to God, why any ever lost?

 

23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

41 The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity;

42 And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.

Yes....looks like He is very willing that they be cast into the lake of Fire

 

Isaiah 63:1-6 NASB

1 Who is this who comes from Edom,
With garments of glowing colors from Bozrah,
This One who is majestic in His apparel,
Marching in the greatness of His strength?
“It is I who speak in righteousness, mighty to save.”
2 Why is Your apparel red,
And Your garments like the one who treads in the wine press?
3 “I have trodden the wine trough alone,
And from the peoples there was no man with Me.
I also trod them in My anger
And trampled them in My wrath;
And their lifeblood is sprinkled on My garments,
And I stained all My raiment.
4 “For the day of vengeance was in My heart,
And My year of redemption has come.
5 “I looked, and there was no one to help,
And I was astonished and there was no one to uphold;
So My own arm brought salvation to Me,
And My wrath upheld Me.
6 “I trod down the peoples in My anger
And made them drunk in My wrath,
And I poured out their lifeblood on the earth.”​

I don’t sense any reluctance from God to do what needs doing.

 

Matthew 7:15-23 NASB

15 “Beware of the false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly are ravenous wolves. 16 You will know them by their fruits. Grapes are not gathered from thorn bushes nor figs from thistles, are they? 17 So every good tree bears good fruit, but the bad tree bears bad fruit. 18 A good tree cannot produce bad fruit, nor can a bad tree produce good fruit. 19 Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. 20 So then, you will know them by their fruits.
21 “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father who is in heaven will enter. 22 Many will say to Me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name cast out demons, and in Your name perform many miracles?’ 23 And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; DEPART FROM ME, YOU WHO PRACTICE LAWLESSNESS.’
​

No lack of willingness here either ... but what does God REALLY think of sinners?

[Lev 26:30 NASB] 30 'I then will destroy your high places, and cut down your incense altars, and heap your remains on the remains of your idols, for My soul shall abhor you.
[Job 9:31 NASB] 31 Yet You would plunge me into the pit, And my own clothes would abhor me.
[Psa 5:6 NASB] 6 You destroy those who speak falsehood; The LORD abhors the man of bloodshed and deceit.

Romans 9:21-24 NASB

21 Or does not the potter have a right over the clay, to make from the same lump one vessel for honorable use and another for common use? 22 What if God, although willing to demonstrate His wrath and to make His power known, endured with much patience vessels of wrath prepared for destruction? 23 And He did so to make known the riches of His glory upon vessels of mercy, which He prepared beforehand for glory, 24 even us, whom He also called, not from among Jews only, but also from among Gentiles. ​

Is ‘what if’ just a ‘what if’ (then why even mention it in the Bible) or is God really “willing to demonstrate His wrath and to make His power known“?

 

Saved-By-Grace,

 

I have not suggested anything...are we a bit paranoid?

If you did not know it, those were just a couple of verses showing God being very willing to have unsaved persons cast into hell.

 

False professors are...unsaved ...also.You have no point here....

 

Sure I could, but why should I.
You asked for verses from any and all Calvinists that indicate that God desires any sinner to go to Hell.
You then reject all verses provided because they do not have the exact wording that you are looking for Calvinists to provide and respond to what we have presented with little more than ‘we don’t understand scripture and should go read your verses instead’.

So my turn to play that game: Where is the verse that says “God cries a river of tears as he casts people into Hell”.

I presented verses that suggest no reluctance on God’s part to punish or damn. I know of no Calvinist that thinks God chuckles with maniacal glee at damning people. I am unsure what you are looking for from Calvinists except specific verbiage that does not exist in scripture that no one claims exists in scripture.

 

So ‘I never knew you, DEPART FROM ME, YOU WHO PRACTICE LAWLESSNESS’ in Matthew 7:23 was spoken with tears of regret pouring from the cheeks of Jesus, the Righteous Judge?
