The will of every created will must yield to the Will of the Creator of those little wills.

To argue that God is 'trying His best' to save all mankind, but that the majority of men will not let Him save them, is to insist that the will of the Creator is impotent, and that the will of the creature is omnipotent.” ~A.W. Pink

“But now the question arises, Why has God demanded of man that which he is incapable of performing? The first answer is, Because God refuses to lower His standard to the level of our sinful infirmities.”

Nonsense. Why would you think God would be so limited??? You keep thinking we control our salvation and we don't. Jesus did that, period! We control what we REAP from what we SOW and could not repair or repent of!

Wake up Mystic, wake up! Surely you must realize the steadfast love of the Lord has time limits?

Perhaps "never" is a misprint?

"The steadfast love of the Lord [never] ceases. It is new every morning great is Your faithfulness."

The Almighty God that created all things seen and unseen is indeed limited to the free will He has given man! He will not override the choice He has given to man as to whether he will accept the Christ or not!

It should be obvious to us that this free will exists in man! It should be obvious also that free will and that choice end at the death of man, he has sealed his fate in that choice!

What a shame that you think the entire purpose of human existence is to believe some "precepts and doctrines of men" ABOUT Jesus and God! We are God's children, Charlie. What do children represent and what do they do???

Me be shamed! When you call the Holy Word of God, and yes, I'm speaking of the scripture, "precepts and doctrines of men!" You have no respect whatsoever for His word! That will be your fall!

My respect is for Jesus and God, Charlie, so sorry that yours is for a book and the scribblings of men untested against God's Holy Spirit of agape love and forgiveness as revealed by Jesus on the Cross.

Religious brainwashing (fear tactics) or peer pressure?

This is not meant to be in direct reply to any particular post; but if one believes in "universal salvation", what is it that we are saved from?

What would have been the destiny of man had Christ never come?
