Limited free Will.

Notice here the old "against the person dodge." I had to smile at this one!!

Many, many lost people seek after God, but they do not find Him because they seek Him in the wrong way. Foe example:
1. They search in the wrong direction (e.g. Romans 10:3).
2. They do not search with all their heart (Deut. 4:29)
3. They cease to search (Matt. 7:7-8. Note the present continuous tense ).
People will only find the narrow door if and when God opens their hearts to do so.

Totally non-germane post, agreeing that many seek God, but implying once again seeking requires finding. Nonsense

That is NOT what the Scripture says happened ...

"Strive to enter through the narrow gate, for many, I say to you, will seek to enter and will not be able.

The BIBLE says people were not able to ENTER, not that they searched and could not find. Scripture says they COULD NOT ENTER because the door WAS ALREADY CLOSED, see: "When once the Master of the house has risen up and shut the door, and you begin to stand outside and knock at the door,".

Clearly the claim that they were searching but did not find is false.

LOL Matthew 7:14.

“For the gate is narrow and the way is constricted that leads to life, and​

there are few who find it.​

Not THIS verse ...

Luke 11:9-13 [ESV]
And I tell you, ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, and the one who seeks finds, and to the one who knocks it will be opened. What father among you, if his son asks for a fish, will instead of a fish give him a serpent; or if he asks for an egg, will give him a scorpion? If you then, who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will the heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him!"

Are some NOT God's children?

LOL once again, this passage is talking not about the lost, but to those who have been born anew. The old prove "A" then claim "B" has been proven.

A spectrum of views on mankind's free will.
From a vertually a no free will to a type of inbound free will.

Has a typo.
Should have read,
