Featured OT Saints were Unregenerate yet sought God

Exodus 33:7
Now Moses used to take the tent and pitch it outside the camp, a good distance from the camp, and he called it the tent of meeting. And everyone who sought the LORD would go out to the tent of meeting which was outside the camp.

 

2Ch 22:9
He also searched for Ahaziah, and they caught him while he was hiding in Samaria; they brought him to Jehu, put him to death, and buried him. For they said, “He is the son of Jehoshaphat, who sought the LORD with all his heart.” So there was no one of the house of Ahaziah to retain the power of the kingdom.

 

2Ch 26:5
He continued to seek God in the days of Zechariah, who had understanding through the vision of God; and as long as he sought the LORD, God made him successful.

 

More off topic deflection, more of the same. But were the many verses teaching OT saints sought God addressed. Nope.

 

[HATE SPEECH AGAINST ANOTHER BELIEVER ERASED instead of simply posting a response]

Had they been "regenerated" before Christ died? Nope, for all those born anew follow Christ as He is the first born of all the born anew creation.

 

More than a half dozen verses teach the OT saints sought God without being regenerated. And what has been the response? Taint so, a denial of scripture. Or "they had been converted" (regenerated). But since Christ was in Heaven, and they had not ascended to Heaven, they had not been made alive together with Christ. On and on folks, Calvinism is not just false doctrine, it is obviously false and unbiblical doctrine.

 

More utter nonsense, as if they were saints before being chosen individually?

 

Once more denial of scriptural truth, with no argument.

 

Asked and answered dozens of times.

1) Did people in the OT seek God? Yes.
2) Did some obtain approval by faith? Yes
3) Were any made perfect before Christ died? Nope

No matter how many subject changes are posted, the OP presents truth.
No one ever seeks God is a false interpretation of scripture, creating conflict with all the verses indicating both those saved and those not saved sought God.

 

Matthew 8:11-12
“And I say to you that many will come from east and west, and recline at the table with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven; but the sons of the kingdom will be thrown out into the outer darkness; in that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.”

Here a poster apparently this verse somehow supported the idea that OT Saints entered the "Kingdom of Heaven" before Christ died. This assertion is false. Jesus is speaking during His lifetime, before He died. And so the tense of the phrase "many will come" is future. Christ's actual message is that many Gentiles will join the patriarchs in heaven, but some of the Jews will be thrown into outer darkness.

Similarly, in Luke 13:28, Jesus is referring to a place outside the Kingdom of Heaven, where in the future, they will see those in the Kingdom while they themselves are being cast out.

Thus neither verse support the bogus view, but both actually teach nobody entered the kingdom before Christ died.
