There are no true seekers of God among the lost. It is God who seeks them out and saves them.
Really? The Bible is filled with Scripture those who seek God, those who do not seek God and the consequences which result from it, and God's plead to seek Him.
In light of the Scripture I quoted above, would you say that the there is a such thing as a seeker as far as the Bible is concerned? Is the idea Biblical?
