Sir, "believers" are ones who have ALREADY "come to repentance" and they CANNOT "perish" anyway so how could 2 Peter 3:9 be specifying believers? And God IS willing that all of us die physically, hence we all do. So since EVERYONE is going to die physically the "perish" here is not speaking of...

Perhaps you can explain, because neither Matthew 7:21-24 nor the whole chapter of 2 Peter 3 even hint that God is "very willing" for anyone to perish. But 2 Peter 3 does have verse 16 and I think that is what is your problem.. 2 Peter 3:16 As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these...

Here's one... 1 Timothy 2:1 I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men; 2For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty. 3For this is good and...

I got in on this one late, and I'm not an Arminian. But Paul prayed for the lost...... Romans 10:1 10 Brethren, my heart's desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they might be saved.

If you want to, you can just skip this long reply and read the Bible verse at the bottom I didn't do that bro. Strawman statement. Again, strawman. I already made it clear that He expressed His boundless love by sending His only begotten Son to die for the whole world. It seems that both of...

Sir, NONE of us loves as perfectly as God. He even told us to be "perfect" and "holy" and we don't do that. NONE of us measures up to God in love or anything else. For example, If Stalin or Charles Manson had murdered one of my children, I would have a real hard time loving him, wouldn't you...

Why wasn't His will done here? Matthew 23:37 O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not!

Did God love Cain? Pharaoh? Herod? Hitler? Stalin? Charles Manson? Yes, or no? If you say "yes" I will believe you. Otherwise, you have "exposed" nothing. I will tell you what I believe so you will know. I believe God IS love. Love IS His character. He even went so far as to command us to "love...

How does God assert His sovereignty in salvation? I just posted it. I will see if I can explain it better: God sent His Word and His Holy Ghost into this world. The Holy Ghost "reproves" the world of "sin, righteousness and judgment". In other words, while the Holy Ghost is dealing with your...

God is almighty. God hates sin. Because of our sin, all of humanity are low down, wicked, hateful, depraved, filthy, sorry sinners, condemned and bound for Hell with no hope. But God, in His boundless and marvelous grace, sent His only begotten Son to die for our sins and all we have to do is...

I never said that it did. I said that loving others and living right is one way the Holy Ghost draws sinners. So, this is not an "insult"?

We were discussing ways the Holy Spirit "draws" men. I already mentioned "primarily the Gospel": did you not read that? The second answer was "how Christians behave and love others" . But you seem to know little about that, God is love, sir, have you not been filled with His Spirit of love?

Observing how Christians behave and love others is a big part of it.

Primarily, through the preaching/teaching of the Gospel.

No. Many will go to Hell because they chose to reject Jesus. Correct me if I' wrong but, ''universalists'' believe God just saves everyone.

You control your imagination and your decisions. Likewise, you were given the freedom and responsibility to either trust Jesus or reject drawing of the Holy Ghost.. But at the end of the day, God is sovereign over the consequences of your actions. Proverbs 16: 9 A man's heart deviseth his way...

Spiritual death is separation from God. Dead in trespasses and sins. The spirtually dead does not know God and cannot discern Godly things. But the spiritually dead person knows "good and evil" and can even believe in God(like the Pharisees did) or a god(like the Muslims do). The spiritually...

God so loved "the world", the Bible says. God loved every single person who ever lived or ever will live. But after one dies, his "day of grace" is over. The rich man in Hell is one example. The Bible says that Jesus is the propitiation for the sins of the whole world. That means He satisfied...

"Regeneration" can only happen at the moment one is indwelled with the Holy Spirit, when WE "open the door" of our hearts to Jesus. Verse 38 says "any man". So it does not matter if it is a Christian in the church who has been saved 50 years or a lost sinner who just walked in and sat on the...

No No, you can "eat and drink" with Christ only AFTER regeneration
