It's not my interpretation.
Which, being interpreted, meaneth: Isn't God infinitely big enough to see how much better some people will be than others, and choose them on that basis?

Unbiblical how? Please give the specific quote from this thread by me and one specific quote from the word of God.You have a very unbiblical view of Jesus Christ

I affrim that God has always been One undivied God and three distinct Persons who are God the Father, the Son of God and the Holy Spirit who are the One and the same God.
Well as the Eternal Son has limited some of His knowing, that those who reject Him will have no such excuse for rejecting Him. The excuse that God is fully omniscient knowing who will and will not accept salvation.I'm sorry, I don't understand that sentence. I need a comma somewhere.
You have given no Holy Scripture to prove that understanding is unBibical. Are you an open theist? I am not.what is this?
"Well as the Eternal Son has limited some of His knowing that those who reject Him will have no such excuse for rejecting Him."
If you mean there is no excuse for the unbeliever at the great white throne judgment, I agree. Your reasoning for why there is no excuse is a little tortured for me. I know there is no excuse for unbelievers because of Romans 1:18-22.Well as the Eternal Son has limited some of His knowing, that those who reject Him will have no such excuse for rejecting Him. The excuse that God is fully omniscient knowing who will and will not accept salvation.
I see Romans 7:14-25 applying to the believer after they have been born again, while Romans 2:1 is speaking to those who have already believed and functions as a lesson to us...resulting in His word abasing us.Yep, even after we're saved. Romans 2:1
I agree with the highlighted, my friend.I know, and thankfully, we have 1 John 1:9, Rev 3:20 and Psalm 51, as promises and examples of what believers can do when we choose to repent.
It is also my understanding God's people under the Law was Israel which is made up of both saved and perishing. Exodus 32:33, Daniel 12:1, Revelation 20:15.Only God's people were under the law; that's the context of Hebrews 10. There is no covenant between God and unbelievers to be found in Scripture. Your view that Hebrews 10:29 speaks of the unsaved fails at the next verse: "The Lord shall judge His people." The unsaved are not God's people.
God's people can be severely judged without losing their salvation.
According to Romans 3:10-18 and Jeremiah 13:23, who actually is willing to do that...Yep. And with a similar consequences for believers, get marched naked to Babylon, like the Northern Kingdom got marched to Assyria, if we don't change our minds.
Did the fellow of 2 Peter 2:1 accept Christ? Nope. So who said everyone accepted? Nobody! On and on folk, on and on...Christ laying down His life "a ransom for all" does not mean that all have accepted it. Look at the parable of the wedding feast in Matthew 22. The groom's father says “See, I have prepared my dinner, my oxen and my fat calves have been slaughtered, and everything is ready. Come to the wedding feast.”’ But those FOR whom all that was prepared paid no attention and didn't come and partake.
Here's a helpful introduction to basic logic. If A=B, and B=C, then A=C.
A. He purchased (bought) all humankind with His blood (acc. to Van).
B. The possession purchased with His blood is sealed with the Holy Spirit until the day of redemption (Acts 20:28, Ephesians 1:13-14, Ephesians 4:30).
C. All humankind (acc. to Van) is therefore sealed with the Holy Spirit.
So to answer your question about who says all humankind is sealed with the Holy Spirit, that would be you, my friend.
This, according to you, "unbiblical" passage should suffice.are you suggesting that after we are saved by grace, we live a life of sin???
Well as the Eternal Son has limited some of His knowing, that those who reject Him will have no such excuse for rejecting Him. The excuse that God is fully omniscient knowing who will and will not accept salvation.
Why did the LORD God not being fully omniscient say to Abraham in Genesis 22:12 "now I know?" Are you an open theist? I'm not. I believe it was the Son speaking truthfully Himself, being God, but not the Father.what you have written makes no sense at all!

Genesis 22.12, the English is translates from the Hebrew.that is because you don't understand the English language!
LXX νυν γαρ meaning "for now."As in the LXX, which uses νῦν, where the meaning is, "as the case stands".
Genesis 22.12, the English is translates from the Hebrew.
The Hebrew עתּה having the meaning at this time.
You can say what you want.
LXX νυν γαρ meaning "for now."
I see Romans 7:14-25 applying to the believer after they have been born again.
Also, salvation is "of the Lord" and is determined by God;
Please see Psalms 65:4, Romans 8:28-30, Romans 9, Ephesians 1:4-6, Ephesians 2:10, 2 Thessalonians 2:13-14 and many more.
He always comes to His children, stands at the door and knocks.
According to Romans 3:10-18 and Jeremiah 13:23, who actually is willing to do that...
who changes their minds in and of themselves?
Based on John 3:19-21, who is it that comes to God?
In other words, we don't choose to be born again, my friend...
God has to do that for us before we can even approach Him in our hearts ( Psalms 65:4 ).
Repentance follows a change of heart...it does not precede it.
We don't repent in order to get God to change it, and we don't agree with Him out of a hardened heart;
He has to soften it first.
If someone ( like David, for example in Psalms 51 ) cries out to the Lord in repentance and sorrow for sins,
it's because God has already performed a miracle in them.
May God bless you greatly in your studies.
And you think I do not English of Genesis 22:12, ". . . for now I know that thou fearest God, . . ."you DON'T know what you are talking about!
We saved unto good works, but not kept saved by good works!here is the typical Reformed UNBIBILICAL response! You guys should listen to what the Holy Bible says, and NOT the warped theology that you blindly follow!
are you suggesting that after we are saved by grace, we live a life of sin???
21 “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. 22 On that day many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?’ 23 And then will I declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness.’ (Matthew 7)
"Strive for peace with everyone, and for the holiness without which no one will see the Lord" (Hebrews 12:14)
READ WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS!
Does Jesus have limited knowledge right now?Well as the Eternal Son has limited some of His knowing, that those who reject Him will have no such excuse for rejecting Him. The excuse that God is fully omniscient knowing who will and will not accept salvation.
