No, the unjust are not saved, but God Bestows Upon them what they do not deserve [ Grace ] Anyway:
"That ye may be the children of your Father Which is in heaven: for
He Maketh His sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth
rain on the just and on the unjust." (Matthew 6:45 AV)
Amen.-

well maybe it's a funny thing that people who add to what Scripture actually says never understand what the big deal is when it's pointed out to them that they're adding to what scripture actually says. It may be a funny thing but I sure don't find it very amusing when they are so loathe to acknowledge the truth of the matter. If it is or if it is not a reasonable assumption to make is quite beside the point. Trying to put this back on me does not reflect well on you.
Is that so? Well, I think that makes NO Biblical sense.
But this makes perfect sense. And fully accords with the entirety of the Bible from cover to cover.
[Jhn 7:17 NKJV]
"If anyone wills to do His will, he shall know concerning the doctrine, whether it is from God or [whether] I speak on My own [authority].

People make choices out of their nature, and the nature of the natural man is different than the nature of the spiritual man. Many conflate the two and consign to the former qualities and abilities that only the latter has. For instance the natural man cannot receive or know or understand the Spuritual things of God. The gospel message is foolishness to him. Expecting him to be able to believe the gospel is like expecting a bad tree to produce good fruit. Something has to change first and only God can effect that change.

Romans 1 shows us a people that the same kinds of people still exist today where God manifested Himself and they understood it was God but continued to reject Him. Ultimately, God even gave them over to a reprobate mind.
Then we have the other group of people that exist to this very day where God manifested Himself to them but they chose to believe in God and became joint- heirs in Christ.
But make no mistake about it, God manifested Himself to every living human being and they chose whether to believe in Him as God or to reject Him.

Getting almost beaten to death by Satan and CHOOSING LIFE at the last moment is perfect adequate as well.
Such as this person. Probably a career criminal who fell for Satan's temptations and deceptions all of his life.
But not QUITE all of his life.
[Luk 23:42 KJV]
And he said unto Jesus, Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom.
[Luk 10:30 KJV]
And Jesus answering said, A certain [man] went down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among thieves, which stripped him of his raiment, and wounded [him], and departed, leaving [him] half dead.

@ChristRoseFromTheDead To further underscore how "funny" it is ... Someone very recently made a thread about how important it is that we accept God's word exactly as it is written but then they changed what it said to suit their own thinking.
