***No money is going to be sent to until you claim it.***
I don't need the money sent to me. It is already in the bank in my account. That IS what you told me.
And, if that is true, then it is already my money whether I go to the bank or not.
If it is not in my account, then what you are really telling me is that when Jesus hung on the cross he didn't hang on the cross for any one person in particular. He merely obtained a large sum of money. Wow, isn't that cold and impersonal.
Plus, it makes God out to be some kind of Publishers Clearinghouse sweepstakes coordinator where everyone wins and must come down and "claim" (your word) their prize. Talk about making the shed Grace of God tawdry and impersonal.
Christian.
Now, are you really this obtuse?
The money is not in your account, it is in an account with your name on it (lets say a swiss account).
The money yours but it is not a benefit to you until you claim it.

No, God has made all men savable if they will accept the free offer of salvation, since the debt has been fully paid.
The reason they do not salvation is not because it is not available to them, but because they do not accept the free gift.
Christ tasted death for every man (Heb.2:9)
