Re: Re: xeno
Xeno, God will turn no person down when they come to him genuinely and in repentance. The danger is when a person hardens his heart in response to God's calling and invitation. When you continue in this stiff necked attitude, the hardening increases exponentially due to the corrupting influence of this present age. In other words, God will, in deferment to your final descision, allow your heart to be hardened more and more.

Re: xeno

we are then mindless  puppets in the end.

right?

god has decided eons ago who will be saved and who will not.  so why try?

why not do anything you please -- whether you are saved or not is already decided and nothing you can do can change that.

by your way of thinking

but then again you deny the power of god.

it's god's will that all be saved.

and you are saying that god's will is going to be thwarted by god himself.

what?

What then shall we say? Is God unjust? Not at all! For he says to Moses,
   "I will have mercy on whom I have mercy,
      and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion." It does not, therefore, depend on man's desire or effort, but on God's mercy. For the Scripture says to Pharaoh: "I raised you up for this very purpose, that I might display my power in you and that my name might be proclaimed in all the earth." Therefore God has mercy on whom he wants to have mercy, and he hardens whom he wants to harden.  One of you will say to me: "Then why does God still blame us? For who resists his will?" But who are you, O man, to talk back to God? "Shall what is formed say to him who formed it, 'Why did you make me like this? Rom 9:14
