I agree with the sentiment of this thread but had a question about your statement:
“Some will choose poorly. Pity and pray for them.”
Which is very kind, but if they have free choice, why would you pray for them? Would you pray for them to choose differently? In which case is their choice no longer free?
I do pray for the salvation of others, don’t get me wrong.
Sadly some seed falls into bad ground, and will never have the chance to bear.
