What God has accomplished in Eternity, in His own Mind and in His own counsel, will play out exactly as planned... for who can change it? At the appointed time therefore, a person will believe the Gospel and be saved. Nothing can prevent it. If it could, then the direction of flow, Eternity (Heaven) to Time (Earth), would have to be reversed. Scripture clearly teaches that all things come down from Heaven, not go up from the Earth.
How would this be helpful to me... if I can't read??? Please try harder next time 
Hmmmmm....if you can read then the only alternative would be that you fall into the 2Peter 3:5 category which is worse
For this they willingly are ignorant.........
2 Peter 3:5
You do not have to sin everyday. many people QUOTE this garbage like its scripture because they love darkness rather than light.
I will stick with the book:
This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.
Galatians 5:16 KJV
Shall I explain "Shall not"??
Please show me how you sin lovers twist this scripture?
Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God.
Hebrews 3:12 KJV
WAIT....BUDMAN SAID I CANT DEPART FROM GOD, BUT HEBREWS 3 SAYS I CAN......GUESS WHO I BELIEVE??

Okay, could you name a single day you didn't sin in either thought, word, or deed? I'm sure you marked in on your calendar, because you managed to accomplish something no one else could do (aside from Christ) in the entire history of mankind.
First of all, I resent the title "sin lover" and if you have a modicum of decency, you'll apologize. We don't love sin - we love reality. Sin is the transgression of the Law, and the Bible teaches no one, not even the Jews to whom the Law was given, could keep it. I can't, you can't, nobody can. You sinned yesterday, today, and you'll sin tomorrow. You know it, I know it, and God certainly knows it. The flesh will continue to sin until the day we die, and all of your posturing won't change that simple fact.
Oy Vey.
You really have no concept of context, do you?
Not every passage in the New testament is about born again believers.
The writer is referencing the Jews, especially those of the time of Moses. The clue would be the name of the book: "Hebrews".
He is talking about/to Jews (which is why he calls them brethren) who still supposed they could be saved through Judaism without believing God's testimony concerning Jesus. Which is why he goes on to say:
"While it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts, as in the provocation. For some, when they had heard, did provoke: howbeit not all that came out of Egypt by Moses. But with whom was he grieved forty years? was it not with them that had sinned, whose carcases fell in the wilderness? And to whom sware he that they should not enter into his rest, but to them that believed not? So we see that they could not enter in because of unbelief." (Verses 15-19).
It is unbelief in the gospel that is the cause of the departing. They are departing from the only way that will save them.
The verse has nothing to do with those who are already born again.

Yep. And you choose to sin every single day of your life.
Because you do.
Absolute true. You can't lose salvation, or give it away. God doesn't take it back. Show me one person in Scripture who was saved, but lost their salvation - either by God taking it away, or the person giving it back - just one.
Go ahead. Just one. I'll wait.
Just like how you take scripture out of context, you also love to take statements out of context as well. I said not everything in the New Testament is directed to born again believers, as much in the book of Hebrews is directed to the Jews. Some to saved Jews and some to lost Jews. Many times when the writer calls them "brethren" he is speaking of their shared heritage as a holy people. Just as it says in Deuteronomy 14:2 and 1 Peter 2:9 - they are a holy nation set apart by God. Which is why God is not through with Israel. And why also, in the end, all of Israel will be saved.
Your gospel of fear isn't going to fly here. There is no condemnation for believers. None. Zero. Nada.
