So where else does God want to live inside you at...the liver, lungs, colon, kidneys, stomach?

Stop being foolish, we both know it is the HEART!

Your entire self. In your actions and thoughts in every aspect of your being.
Your foolish comparisons are absurd, those are organs. Do you think God wants to reside in any specific organ of the body? Of course not. So why would you make a list of bodily organs?
The scripture is clear believe, confess, repent. Not invite him into your heart.

If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him?

And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father.

Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.

None of that says to invite God into your heart.
 
No God doesnt desire the salvation of all mankind, but only the Salvation of all His Chosen People Israel from among all mankind. Salvation is for a specific people, which God hath promised to save in the Lord Isa 45:17

17 But Israel shall be saved in the Lord with an everlasting salvation: ye shall not be ashamed nor confounded world without end.

Israel here isnt a ethnic physical nation, but a Spiritual seed chosen in Christ. The seed of Israel Isa 45:25

25 In the Lord shall all the seed of Israel be justified, and shall glory.

This seed Israel is comprised of both jew and gentile believers Rom 4:16-17


16 Therefore it is of faith, that it might be by grace; to the end the promise might be sure to all the seed; not to that only which is of the law, but to that also which is of the faith of Abraham; who is the father of us all,

17 (As it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations,) before him whom he believed, even God, who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those things which be not as though they were.

Rubbish. "For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek, for the same Lord over all is rich to all who call upon Him. For 'whoever calls on the name of the LORD shall be saved.' " Romans 10:12-13 Whoever means whoever.

For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders, thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness: all these evil things come from within, and defile the man.

Fair enough. No one really wants to here what proceeds forth from the other organs anyway.

Sitting here drinking my morning coffee reading supporters of calvinism while listening to domestic terrorists, I mean democrats, in the news. Well, at least my coffee is good.

I gave you a chance since Paul tells us specifically where Jesus lives inside us found in Ephesians 3:17...the HEART!!

But you continue being you and enjoy walking in denial..

The natural man, as described in 1 Cor 2:14, would not knock on Jesus door, because he has no desire to learn spiritual things that he cannot discern, thinking them to be foolishness.

God has made us to ungger after spiritual things, by quickening us to the new spiritual life (Eph 2:1-5). The hearing ear, and the seeing eye, the Lord hath made even both of them (Prov 20:12).

We have Jesus knocking at the door of our hearts.

It then clearly says IF ANY PERSON OPENS THE DOOR Jesus comes inside our heart.

You saying Opening the Door to your heart IS NOT INVITING JESUS TO ENTER INTO IT?

Your question claims we don't ask Jesus into our hearts. Clearly Revelation 3 tells us You don't know what you claim at all.

I know, by the revelation of the Holy Spirit, exactly, what I claim, and that is the doctrine of Jesus Christ.

I believe the scriptures prove themselves, by harmonizing one with the other, and they are my only source of my studies. I did not listen to your video, because I do not need to know what others claim to teach

I have observed that most all on this forum are believing that they gain eternal deliverance by their good works.

No one is claiming the natural man is seeking God.

It's not a video it's a copy/paste of Ephesians 3:17 that you are admitting to have ignored.

But by what you claim in your posts it's already obvious you IGNORE a lot of Scripture so I am not surprised by you ignoring Ephesians 3:17..

God's born again children, known as the house of Israel, Witch include every kindred, and tongue, and nation, whom God, because of their disobedience, scattered them into all the world.

Salvation=deliverance, Saved=delivered, and Save=deliver, according to Greek interpretation.

Jesus instructed, his ordained elders, to go into all of the world, and preach to the "lost sheep" of the house of Israel, to save (deliver) them from their ignorance of the knowledge Christ's doctrine, because, though they have a zeal of God, they are depending upon the old law of works to deliver them eternally

As lost sheep, though they need to be saved (delivered) from their ignorance, they did not ever lose their eternal inheritance.
