But does God force evildoers to do evil? Or has God ever rejected anyone from entering his kingdom who wanted to sincerely enter?
Yes you are a very disturbed individual thinking you can freely express your ridiculous and false opinions but when I express my true opinion I'm slandering you... well, your smile is creepy, that is my true opinion and not slander no matter how much you want to lie about it, just like you have lied all along, saying things about witches and fairies and the occult that are not applicable, just what you want to see just like you read into Scripture what is not there and then claim any other understanding is silly. You are an abusive hypocrite pretending to want to discuss Scripture. I understand very well that conversations can be fluid, but you refuse to acknowledge that you keep demanding of me what you refuse to give in return. It's all one-sided with you. Your schtick about unprofitable conversations, well that describes you to a TEE with all you cultist KJ posts and threads. You specialize in it, post videos about it, you are breaking the site rules. You should be reported.
I have not said anything up until now.
I also find some those pictures of the women you present as subtly disturbing.
And, yes. Some witches do have a seductive niceness about them.
Not all witches are rickety and ugly.
I have had my share of meeting a few very pleasant ones.
Your pictures 'sometimes' resonate with that kind of spirit.
It is intended to seduce. Not, just inform.
There you have it....
Argue on.
There are no witches or fairies in my Scripture panels. If you see that you are seeing what you want to see.
If you find beautiful women seductive that is your problem. Take it to God. He made women beautiful.
I suppose the one woman with her head covered is a target. Such silly men. Women are supposed to cover their heads.
But what would a disturbing looking monkey know about that?

Good on you, sister!! There is absolutely nothing wrong with your artwork; Please keep posting it!!!
And yes: GOD definitely did make women beautiful! You're so right!!!
Previously in this thread, I did quote the actual words of the passage. But it is not wrong to also give a general summary of Scripture at times with a verse citation (for the reader to check out the verse for themselves).
1. Jesus Himself Refers to Scripture and Gives a Summary
A. Luke 24:44 — The Law, the Prophets, and the Psalms
Jesus says:
“All things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms, concerning me.”
Here, Jesus specifically identifies the three major divisions of the Old Testament, but He does not quote any of the passages. He gives a summary statement about their message: they all testify about Him.
B. Mark 12:26 — “The Book of Moses”
Jesus asks:
“Have ye not read in the book of Moses, how in the bush God spake unto him…?”
He directs their attention to a specific book (Exodus within the Torah), but instead of quoting Exodus 3, He summarises the burning bush account.
C. Luke 20:37 — “Moses shewed at the bush”
Jesus states:
“Even Moses shewed at the bush, when he calleth the Lord the God of Abraham…”
Again, Jesus identifies the source — the writings of Moses — but He does not quote the text. He simply retells the main point of the scene.
2. The Apostles Also Refer to Scripture by Source Only
A. Acts 3:18 — Peter Refers to “All His Prophets”
Peter explains:
“Those things… he had shewed by the mouth of all his prophets, that Christ should suffer…”
Peter names the prophetic books as the source of this teaching, but does not quote any one passage. He provides only the overall message: the prophets foretold Christ’s suffering.
B. Romans 10:5 — Paul Refers to Moses
Paul writes:
“For Moses describeth the righteousness which is of the law…”
Paul points directly to Moses (Leviticus 18:5), yet he does not quote it. Instead, he gives a summary of the teaching.
C. Romans 11:2 — Paul Refers to Elijah’s Words
Paul asks:
“Wot ye not what the scripture saith of Elias?”
He then summarises the scene from 1 Kings 19 where Elijah interceded against Israel, but Paul does not provide the Old Testament wording.
......
Thank you. These hypocrites never give up. Just lie after lie and projecting their evil, pretending they
want to discuss and demanding things of others they refuse to give in return. It's sickening. But it's
like I told Bible denier, I cannot force him to be honest. He goes on and on and on and on about other
things all the while claiming he only wants to do something else and demanding I only do that other
thing as well. They are delusional, and it is downright scary they consider themselves to be a teacher.

I agree, sister; And sadly, it's these sorts of people who give Christianity a bad name!
Most religion is bad.
To God there is only acceptable form of religion.
Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans
and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world. James 1:27
Most important... , it does not claim it is a way to salvation like many religions profess.

Some of them do remind me of witches....
Just like a tattooed lady whispering into the ear of a unicorn, does.
You lost track.
The question was:
Has God ever rejected anyone from entering his kingdom who wanted to sincerely enter?
Yes! Esau.

No, not Esau. He wasn't repenting to God. He was sorrowing because he finally realized what he lost in repudiating his birthright and being swindled out of his blessing. He didn't humble himself before God and confess his sin. He merely lamented his loss. Read the story for yourself in Genesis 27. He changed his mind...repented...in respect to his birthright and blessing.
An earthly sorrow that worketh death.
Who said he was repenting?
Sincerely wanting to enter the blessing, like what Satan right now experiences...
