They are not God so their point of view is how they see it, then same as anyone elses.
God is not hard to figure out...the matter is whether you are willing to accept what you find out...

They on the one hand tells us there is none that are righteous and in the next breathe they believe they are righteous enough to make a quality decision to believe in Jesus.
You are off mark...

Post #67 pretty much explains it anyway.
Many verses applied in the wrong way...

Do you really believe that the jailers decision to believe was a spur of the moment decision ? .

When i believed it was because He brought me to it, after doing something inside me throughout my whole life , regarding times , locations and circumstances.

You also seem that you are an intelligent guy , yet you haven't answered my question regarding how if you never had any say in your natural birth how can you with your spiritual birth . All you did was quote scripture at me.
My question is if you are a carnal man dead in sin, how can you make a righteous decision to believe and have faith if, by God's own words, no one seeks after righteousness...

If God is our "Father," that makes us His children.
