That's the overlying and underlying theme of all Scripture. Jesus is hope for the hopeless. That includes you, my friend.
Joshua 24:15
“And if it seem evil unto you to serve the LORD, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.”
Joshua 24:15
“And if it seem evil unto you to serve the LORD, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.”

It seems you can't see or won't see a word that has been said in the op
I'm not putting the emphasis on the individual I'm asking the individual to talk about how God has willed there steps in there life.
Or provide scripture where willing of steps is seen,
I find it fascinating when the holy spirit is seen in every scripture.
It seems the true message is lost when dissociation of the holy spirit is lost.
I believe that when you forget the holy spirit is always there it's when you forget God is willing your steps.
The natural person does not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for they are folly to him,

There are many things I want to touch on in this but I just wanted to let you know in spirit Iagree completely with all you have said here.
I have noticed your growth as of late you are becoming more calm mature and the things you say now while before were truth you now speak things more fruitfully. You are clearly continuing in your drive for the calling you recieved from him your not just discussing or debating for the sake of doing so your actually learning growing in turn giving to the church like this post here.
This is the planting of the seeds of the kingdom I was hoping would start.

Ultimately, Jesus the son of GOD is the only one who decides who will be saved;
(KJV) John 10:9 I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture.
for context i added extra verses from JOHN (KJV)below;
Joh 10:7 Then said Jesus unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep.
Joh 10:8 All that ever came before me are thieves and robbers: but the sheep did not hear them.
Joh 10:9 I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture.
Joh 10:10 The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.
Joh 10:11 I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep.
Joh 10:12 But he that is an hireling, and not the shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, seeth the wolf coming, and leaveth the sheep, and fleeth: and the wolf catcheth them, and scattereth the sheep.
Joh 10:13 The hireling fleeth, because he is an hireling, and careth not for the sheep.
Joh 10:14 I am the good shepherd, and know mysheep, and am known of mine.
Joh 10:15 As the Father knoweth me, even so know I the Father: and I lay down my life for the sheep.
Joh 10:16 And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd.
Joh 10:17 Therefore doth my Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I might take it again.
Joh 10:18 No man taketh it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This commandment have I received of my Father.

Sounds nice and poetic, but faith is what we give back to the Lord. It is we who must place our faith in Him. It is the soul showing appreciation back to its creator.
Hebrews 10:23
“Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised”
Hebrews 11:6
“But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.”
Hebrews 10:23
“Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised”
Hebrews 11:6
“But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.”

Thats always true, however that verse has nothing to do with salvation in Christ, sorry thats just a desperate move. This is about the statement:
Then run and get Joshua 24 as a proof text, its not even in the same stratosphere.
Even the other scripture the poster initially posted doesnt say that:
2 Peter 3:9
“The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.”

No has nothing to do with Salvation in Christ. Even if you want to go there, it says nothing about Christ died to give him a choice, if anything God chose him to serve the Lord in agreement with John 15:16
16 Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you.
Then you are making salvation based upon works:
Later the people said to Joshua:
21 And the people said unto Joshua, Nay; but we will serve the Lord.
22 And Joshua said unto the people, Ye are witnesses against yourselves that ye have chosen you the Lord, to serve him. And they said, We are witnesses.
23 Now therefore put away, said he, the strange gods which are among you, and incline your heart unto the Lord God of Israel.
So you are saying this is faith in Jesus Christ ! You are forcing something there that not there, not even close, all this is under a national covenant of works.
