God Doesn’t Want Any To Perish

[Samson2020]

Question for you. Were you always Saved? A simple yes or no will suffice.

Yes in the sense that He died for my sins long before I was born a human. No in that I was about 38 before I was let in on what God was doing through Jesus for me as well as others.

My full quote. So, that you can see the complete thought that I was trying to communicate to you. I put it this way, because I can only assume that the point you are trying to make is that our adversaries, are not God's. Is that correct? If so, I guess you can say in order to be an adversary you have to have a chance at winning. I don't see the devil having a chance against God, do you?

No. As he is a created being, created by the Father. That is why I said the following:

A war designed to mature us spiritually. Spiritual adversaries and a carnal mind. Both extremely potent enemies of ours but not Gods for it is by His design they exist.

Thus we are in agreement on that issue. God has no enemies, but the cross of Christ does, as these are the enemies placed in your way to prevent you from attaining all that it bought
for you.

Do you know who those might be?

You wouldn't like my answer, but you already know what it is.

God draws you, but you have the choice to follow Him or not!

Romans 11:29 "For the gifts and calling of God are without repentance."
If you have been called of God He does not pull back even though one may squirm for years about leaving evil behind, He will stay faithful to His calling of you. God does not repent of His
calling of you.

Notice that the verse after that speaks of the Father drawing those that come to Jesus, is conditional

And that condition is that the Father hath taught the one he drew. Again it is God who instigates the salvation of the soul in question.
"......Therefore everyone who has heard and learned from the Father comes to Me." We did not teach ourselves? Did we??

Good discussion, but it is a beat around the bush about self righteousness. But still a good discussion.

I don't normally like to agitate, because it's usually not conducive to good communication, or any growth at all.

Now that you have reminded me of our conversation, I thank you....and with that being said...

God bless you, and keep you.
With the Love of Christ Jesus.
