Jesus said the day is coming and has arrived, when the dead shall hear His voice, and those who hear will live. I have a couple of panels for this but I'm on my phone so don't have access to them right now... it's in John somewhere... So apparently the Dead can hear, and if they couldn't, I suppose we would all be Lost because it is Holy Spirit of God that convicts us of sin, bringing us to repentance in the first place.

Ahhh . . . I have found that the Bible reports that a person is Drawn by God, because they cannot draw themselves out of captivity. If a person could release themselves from such captivity, they're not really being held captive. Jesus setting His Children free is what it means to be Spiritually awakened. Gotta have the Spiritual Circumcision of Christ if a person is to wake up, or . . . Live.
Colossians 2:11, 13 NLT - 11 When you came to Christ, you were "circumcised," but not by a physical procedure. Christ performed a spiritual circumcision--the cutting away of your sinful nature. ... 13 You were dead because of your sins and because your sinful nature was not yet cut away. Then God made you alive with Christ, for he forgave all our sins."
Colossians 2:9-15 - Provides the most complete description of the Purpose, Work, and Effect of Christ. Process the entire Bible through these Seven glorious verses . . . a person will walk away with an entirely new understanding of the Bible. Jesus died on the cross for us; we all should be willing to study God's Word in a very intense way.
Have a great day, and I hope the phone call was a massive success!

I‘d say the Elect will never be separated from the love of God in Christ Jesus. Check these verses out, though, concerning the apostasy of the end times in 2 Thessalonians.
Let no one deceive you by any means; for that Day will not come unless the falling away comes first, and the man of sin is revealed, the son of perdition, who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God or that is worshiped, so that he sits as God in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God. Do you not remember that when I was still with you I told you these things? And now you know what is restraining, that he may be revealed in his own time. For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only He who now restrains will do so until He is taken out of the way. And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord will consume with the breath of His mouth and destroy with the brightness of His coming. The coming of the lawless one is according to the working of Satan, with all power, signs, and lying wonders, and with all unrighteous deception among those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this reason God will send them strong delusion, that they should believe the lie, that they all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness. But we are bound to give thanks to God always for you, brethren beloved by the Lord, because God from the beginning chose you for salvation through sanctification by the Spirit and belief in the truth, to which He called you by our gospel, for the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore, brethren, stand fast and hold the traditions which you were taught, whether by word or our epistle.

“For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour; who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.”
1 Timothy 2:3-4 KJV
so then those that are lost brother is that because Gods lack of faithfulness to them ? Why aren’t they saved is it Gods fault for those lost since it’s Gods Will they weren’t saved and never had a chance ?
Doesnt God will that all Men be saved by coming to a knowledge of the truth ? So that they can get free from satans Will ?
“in meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth; and that they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, who are taken captive by him at his will.”
2 Timothy 2:25-26
“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.”
2 Peter 3:9 KJV
Yet Gods Will is for some to be saved and others to be lost because it’s all predetermined we can’t change it …..I love you brother have really enjoyed the discussions over the past couple years !! God loves you and may he bless you indeed !!

“For as the Father raiseth up the dead, and quickeneth them; even so the Son quickeneth whom he will. For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the Son: that all men should honour the Son, even as they honour the Father.
He that honoureth not the Son honoureth not the Father which hath sent him. Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.
Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and they that hear shall live.
Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice, and shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life;
and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation.”
John 5:21-25, 28-29 KJV

Like a dog that returns to his vomit Is a fool who repeats his foolishness.
This is talking about sinners ----who's wicked ways may stop for a time but like a dog who forgets the burden of how his vomiting made him feel the dog returns to his vomit ----so the wicked will return to their sinful ways ----

“and that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus. All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine,
for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: that the man of God ( that’s you brother ) may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.”
2 Timothy 3:15-17 KJV
I know that I annoy people with all the scripture alllll the time lol 😂😂😂 I know you weren’t replying to me but really felt the lord lead me to share that verse with you particularly so you understand the motivations of those “Bible thumpers” out here
I’d never oppose you in any way I really genuinely respect and care for you in Christ and I’m old just a fool whoch I’ve confessed and which also is evident the foolishness I repeatedly have mentioned
But I’m limited in any impact I can make in the church rn and even though I’m an old fool I do also really believe the Bible’s words are what lights our path
i apologize brother if I’ve offended you it truly was not my intention.

The feeling is mutual brother.
You introduced another topic. The first was dealing with security for the believer. I believe those in Christ are eternally secure, but not because left to himself man wouldn't mess things up,but because God is faithful to preserve His children in Christ. I believe when God sets His affections on His own, He does all that is necessary to have an eternal relationship with them. I'm happy to address what it is to be in Christ and all that that entails, and how it relates to what I just shared.
Your last post introduces the concept of God's unwillingness for any to perish, and you imply that I somehow don't believe this. I do believe it. But at the same time, none of this precludes God from coming to one and not another. Do you have a problem that God made a nation out of Israel and dealt with them almost exclusively for a significant portion of history? How was God demonstrating His desire for all to be saved during this time?

Wouldn't that be you plucking yourself out of Jesus' hand? Didn't he say no one can do this? Isn't the individual himself included in no one?
Also, Romans 8 says nothing can separate us from the love of God in Christ? Wouldn't that mean someone would have to take themselves out of Christ? Being in Christ is something God does and is a spiritual activity, right? If you can't put yourself into Christ, how is it one can take themselves out?

You're using a few religous jargon terms here "" Circuncision of Christ"" and ""Curse of the Lord"" It's best to try and speak using plain speech sometimes because often religious jargon means one thing to one person and means something different to another person..
I am saying that a person can believe Jesus and accept the Atonement of the LORD Jesus and be in a state of salvation.. But later come to disbelieve Jesus and no longer believe that the atonement of Jesus pays the penalty for their sins.. They can fall away to disbelief.. Or they can fall away to deceptive false doctrines..

Yes. Like the guys that were cleaned of demons yet weren't filled with the Holy Spirit, and then tons more demons inhabited them BECAUSE they were clean, but empty.
An empty vessel is hardly better than a dirty one.
We not only have to be cleaned, BUT also filled, and sealed, with the Holy Spirit.
That's becoming a born again child of God. Or sheep if you will.
Remember a DOG and PIG go back to it's vomit. Not a dog that became a sheep and then became a dog or pig again.
