Whom Did Christ Die For?

Duck??
lol
I did not know not givin gyou the answer you wanted to hear was ducking

Here I will prove my point.

Jesus willed jerusalem to repent. and recieve him, But he did not force it on them, He wanted them to chose freely

But they were not willing

Matthew 23:37

Jesus Laments over Jerusalem
“O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the one who kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to her! How often I wanted to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, but you were not willing!

God has willed many things.. He even repented making man and flooded the earth..

One could add that no one can come to Christ-and believe on him unless the Father draws him. But as you don't get your questions answered, why play along with a one sided debate

Its all bluster Im afraid. I asked you if Paul was correct in what he stated in Eph1:11. You refused to plainly answer, you just deflected to elsewhere

I believe no one can come to Jesus unless the father draws them. I have stated this many times. I even stated God drew me for over a year before I was saved..Sadly your stuck trying to force MY belief into what you think I believe and not listening to a word.

Sadly this usually happens in these discussions..

And I asked you if I said paul was not correct?? and asked you if you read what I wrote..

I even said Paul was correct in that verse

as well as other verses which I also gave

Stop for a minute and stop trying to prove me wrong and listen to what I am saying..or is that too hard?

Well so far, from reading your comments, you have tried to overturn the plain words of Christ and argued against one of the core tenets of the bible. And here, you cannot answer a plain question put to you, only deflect away from it. Its OK, Im used to all this on the internet

Ah ok, Paul was correct in Eph1:11 but God does not always have his way. OK

so you accused me of not believing that God draws people to himself

You accuse me of saying Paul was wrong. when in fact, I said no such thing, I stated Paul said many things and they are all right.

I even gave you examples of different things Paul said. and added what Jesus said

And your going to sit here and treat me like its all my fault because you are reading what you want to see. and not what I am saying

Dude stop trying to blame shift. I have not run from anything, But here you are running from every thing I have said which would counter what you are saying. why is this? Because you can't?

I will tel you what I believe, on the

A scripture quoting contest with you is not really worthwhile, for you feel able to turn any verse on its head you feel is neccessary to keep to your preconceived ideas. . I did respond to your whosever believes, by pointing out no one can believe unless the Father draws them to Christ. And as Paul said in Eph1:11...

lol

let me try one more time, Maybe you missed it

The reason I asked if Jesus was God.

Matthew 23:37

Jesus Laments over Jerusalem
“O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the one who kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to her! How often I wanted to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, but you were not willing!

How often, - Jesus is not talking about his ministry here on earth. Or he would have said, I so badly want, but you are not listening
Is Jesus God? - Jesus is speaking of the truth. From the time they entered the promised lan, God wanted to take them under his wing. Did God get his will? Or did God not see his will fulfilled?
But you were unwilling - there it is in black and white. God gave them free will to chose to accept his protection and blessings, And they chose year after year after year to rebell..

So was paul right? Yes he was right

Does God overrule mans free will to get his will accomplished? no..

0 Not only that, but Rebekah’s children were conceived at the same time by our father Isaac. 11 Yet, before the twins were born or had done anything good or bad—in order that God’s purpose in election might stand: 12 not by works but by him who calls—she was told, “The older will serve the younger.”[d] 13 Just as it is written: “Jacob I loved, but Esau I hated.”[e]
14 What then shall we say? Is God unjust? Not at all! 15 For he says to Moses,
“I will have mercy on whom I have mercy,
and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion.”[f]
16 It does not, therefore, depend on human desire or effort, but on God’s mercy. 17 For Scripture says to Pharaoh: “I raised you up for this very purpose, that I might display my power in you and that my name might be proclaimed in all the earth.”[g] 18 Therefore God has mercy on whom he wants to have mercy, and he hardens whom he wants to harden.
19 One of you will say to me: “Then why does God still blame us? For who is able to resist his will?” 20 But who are you, a human being, to talk back to God? “Shall what is formed say to the one who formed it, ‘Why did you make me like this?’”[h] 21 Does not the potter have the right to make out of the same lump of clay some pottery for special purposes and some for common use?
22 What if God, although choosing to show his wrath and make his power known, bore with great patience the objects of his wrath—prepared for destruction? 23 What if he did this to make the riches of his glory known to the objects of his mercy, whom he prepared in advance for glory

He died for my sins.
1 Corinthians 15:3
3 For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received: that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the Scriptures, 4 that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures, 5 and that he appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve. 6 Then he appeared to more than five hundred brothers at one time, most of whom are still alive, though some have fallen asleep. 7 Then he appeared to James, then to all the apostles. 8 Last of all, as to one untimely born, he appeared also to me. 9 For I am the least of the apostles, unworthy to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God. 10 But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace toward me was not in vain. On the contrary, I worked harder than any of them, though it was not I, but the grace of God that is with me. 11 Whether then it was I or they, so we preach and so you believed.
And for the worlds;
1 John 2:2
And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world.
Not just good news, but the best news ever!

And this is supposed to show me that Israel rejected Gods will?

The fatalistic view of Romans 9 is in deep error.

Why will you not even acknowledge the verse I gave, Who is the one running

Your running. You have no comment on what I wrote, just a bland statement.

I am running

Yet it is you who have not mentioned the verse I have no posted multiple times

You yelled saying I ignored your verse. I agreed paul was right. Not practice what you preach my friend..

Therefore God has mercy on whom he wants to have mercy, and he hardens whom he wants to harden.

Therefore God has mercy on whom he wants to have mercy, and he hardens whom he wants to harden.

You do not get to go to romans 9 until you first respond to my verse.. We do not play those games, Especially after you attacked me for supposedly ignoring your ephesians verse

Practice what you preach my Friend, Or show the room your a hypocrite

once again!!!
