Go ahead Ironmaw...see it the way you see it...I am not going to argue with you any longer. I'm done.

I see it just as the scriptures above which i posted see it. We do not Choose Christ he chooses us. And none are righteous and none seek after God. As it is written ...

Then the scriptures i quoted are lies. Is that what you are saying? That Jesus and Paul are liars? Because Jesus said you did not choose him, but that he chose you and ordained you to bear the fruits of the spirit.

And Paul wrote that none are righteous and that none seek after God. Who am i to believe? You or Jesus and Paul? I will believe them over you any day ...

So if God will have all people to be saved and come to a knowledge of the truth, then why do you believe that God doesn't choose to reveal himself to all people so that they will love him?

God will not have all people saved - so I can't really answer the question because I don't agree with the premise.

And two more questions, do you believe that Paul still hated Christ after Christ revealed himself to Paul? Do you believe Paul still hated Christ when Paul chose to believe in him?
