Now's there a question I mean how do you answer that one, was satan created like Adam first ?You'd think that "irresistible" grace would have prevented that rejection, after all it is suppose to guarantee sinners see sense, how much more should it have made a perfect creature (before his fall) see the error of his ways?
Can We Really Exercise Free Will?

well here's a question where angel created like humans ?You'd think that "irresistible" grace would have prevented that rejection, after all it is suppose to guarantee sinners see sense, how much more should it have made a perfect creature (before his fall) see the error of his ways?
Where they created to have powers we don't ?
And did the angels grow uo as children do ?
when it comes to this imagination anything possible
Can we use irresistible grace in the same way for angels.
That's not proof of what you're claiming. It's like you don't even understand the English language. This isn't the first time.
Which part of the verses didn't you understand? Al of it, apparently.That guarantee is that Jesus will never fail us. Are you guaranteeing you will never fail? Everything you believe is the truth, never need correction about anything?
Must be wonderful to live such a life.
Jesus guarantees that I will never fail. It's right there.
God places our soul (by Grace) in a place that is similar to having regeneration.
In that way, God will allow our soul (with the help of the Holy Spirit taking up the slack for our lack of having a human spirit)
to decide for yourself what you *want* to believe.
We will start off wanting to believe in Jesus.
Then after showing our desire, God turns our wanting into knowing Jesus is real.
That is the work of God!

We all make mistakes.
I can't decide lol God decided that by looking at my whole life first, knowing that half way through my life I was able to accept his irresistible grace, at first it started with an illumination of the heart illuminating my ways and my selfish way, and for some reason my heart became sharing and developed a great sense of empathy for the natural man
Isaiah 14:12
“How you are fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! How you are cut down to the ground, You who weakened the nations!
Yep i
a beautiful morning star, created to be something special at first.
Maybe he was created with powers that had his own free will
And he just decided to misuse them,
And so God decided if the same thing should happen to us he would take away are free will
When it comes to free will its preached by the Armenian apostolic church who create nothing but false idols by the looks of it.
- Christ is God and has no sin nature, neither ever had one. He was born as perfect, unblemished humanity, just like Adam prior to Genesis 3
- our flesh is still inclined towards sin until the body is redeemed in the resurrection

The only one Satan found irresistible was himself.
Believers fail all the time.
Satan was "perfect until sin was found in him" - - walking among the fiery stones, the federal head over the mineral Eden
You and I can fail...
Everyone ought to examine themselves before they eat of the bread and drink from the cup.
For those who eat and drink without discerning the body of Christ eat and drink judgment on themselves.

1 Corinthians 11:28-30
In Paul's letter to Titus we find the follow words beginning in 3:3
3 For we ourselves were also once foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving various lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful and hating one another. 4 But when the kindness and the love of God our Savior toward man appeared, 5 not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us, through the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit, 6 whom He poured out on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Savior, 7 that having been justified by His grace we should become heirs according to the hope of eternal life.
Please point out one single thing that was done by man to [become heirs according to the hope of eternal life]. Everything was accomplished by God alone!
Does this mean the requirements/actions by man were not mentioned just for ease of reading?
No Paul is saying we also were sinners, but look at what God did for us!
