I am not disagreeing with everything you have said. I am just offering a clarifying word of caution as to the way responsible conversion is represented in the Bible.

Repentance is not fun for an Adamic sinner, but it is integral to saving faith. For some folks, it proves to be impossibly difficult. You need to understand that about non-Christians. I certainly do. As RobRoy has intimated in another post, self-destructive behavior really is self-destructive.

And I am not even talking about turning over a new leaf to do good works. I am talking about the Satanic depravity of the unregenerate sinner. He hates God. He hates the Truth. He just doesn't ordinarily admit this to himself--i.e., he won't repent.

Let me also urge you to read my #696.

Just an observation but, it would appear to me that if people seek, but do not end up thinking as you do, then they didn't seek hard enough.
