    NOT WHAT MY HANDS HAVE DONE

    By any measure, a god that wants every single person to be saved and is trying desperately to save every single person is a miserable failure.

    Proverbs 16:4 The LORD hath made all things for himself: yea, even the wicked for the day of evil.

    Romans 9:21 Hath not the potter power over the clay, of the same lump to make one vessel unto honour, and another unto dishonour?

    By any definition, a god that cannot save anyone, unless and until they "let", or "allow" him, to do so is not God at all, but a helpless subject to those who "lord" their will over his.

    Romans 3:10-11 As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:
    There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God.

    Such is the insanity of modern religion that has erected a hill on which to die of their god, in his great love, having endowed them with a free will to choose, or reject him. How indeed will any unrighteous one accomplish the "righteous" act of coming to him? Furthermore, how will one, void of understanding, seek him?

    Proverbs 16:25 There is a way that seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.

    The great good news is that even though it is impossible for any man to seek God, Christ has come to seek and save that which was lost. Every single soul He represented in His obedience unto death of the cross shall be called in time and not one of them can be lost. They are clothed in His righteousness alone and shall never present their supposed best works as meritorious. The totality of their justification, righteousness, sanctification and standing before God is in Christ alone.

    These things matter for God never calls His sheep through lies and half truths. Sincere, fervent dedication to false religion is just fruit unto death and never saved anyone.

    Praise God that He, through the Holy Spirit, is ever and always calling His sheep to Himself through the foolishness of preaching of the finished work of Christ alone. His sheep know His voice and they follow Him.

    2 Corinthians 4:7 But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us.
