God did not give all mankind a choice to come into the ark, just as he did not give mankind a choice about his eternal destination. Gen 6: 17-18, And, behold, I, even I, do bring a flood of waters upon the earth to destroy all flesh, wherein is the breath of life, from under heaven; and everything that is in the earth shall die, But with the will I establish my covenant; and, thou shalt come into the ark, thou, and thy sons, and thy wife, and thy sons' wives with thee.I look at it like the ark that Noah built. God told the world that the flood was coming and gave them a way to live but it was up to the people to choose. Those that got on the ark survived and those that didn't died. Jesus is our arc and He has given His blood for all to accept but it is up to us to accept it. If you enter the ark before the door closes you will be safe. Once the door closes there isn't any more grace. All glory to God but Noah did build the ark by grace. So God does use man to work at things, even if man isn't needed.
The natural man, void of the Spirit, will not choose to believe spiritual things that he cannot discern (1 Cor 2:14) It is the work of God to give spiritual life to the natural man when he is dead spiritually in giving him a new heart in regeneration before he can believe in spiritual things, (Eph 2), so, yes, it is the work of God, not man's work, or choice.It is the work of God that WE BELIEVE
Man chosing to receive Gods gift is not a work man.
Stop being afraid of that and chose today who you will follow..
Please explain with scripture reference.Darkness and Light do not share the same place and time.
The scriptures harmonize in their explanation of the difference between good and evil. The scriptures are similar to a puzzle. If you find a piece that has all of right colors and seemingly has the same shape and force one of the ears into place with the pressure of your finger, you will never finish the puzzle. That is the trouble some people have with the scriptures, they try to force the wrong scripture in the context.2 Corinthians 6:15 What harmony is there between Christ and Belial?
And the natural man , according to 1 Cor 2:14, will not walk with him because he cannot discern spiritual things. This harmonizes.John 8:12 Again Jesus spoke to them, saying, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.”
No, not all men just those that the Father gave to his Son to die for. (John 6:38).
Repenting is an action (work) that the born again child of God does because he is pricked in his heart of breaking a spiritual law. The work of repenting is not the cause of your eternal salvation, but an action that you are already born of the Holy Spirit. The natural man, void of the indwelling of the Holy Spirit will not feel guilty of breaking a spiritual law that he cannot discern and will never repent of something he does not understand.(1 Cor 2:14). James 1:15 - Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished bringeth forth death (separation) from the fellowship with God, not separation from eternal life). The natural man, until he has been given the Holy Spirit in regeneration, cannot be pricked in his heart because he has not yet been born again and given a new heart.
Because I believe that the scriptures are inspired by God and want to learn all that I can about him and his love for me.So how do you know if you are one?
It helps when you go to a Greek interpretation of words. There are different kinds of deaths. There different kinds of worlds. There are different kinds of salvation's. there are different kinds of life. I do not think that a person can just read the bible and not seek the Greek interpretations of what they are reading and understand correctly the teaching of the doctrine of Christ.why do people always do that. the bible says death, the person says separation. lol.

Now you are trying, unsuccessfully, to be funny.and does the greek teach you to practice homosexuality?
