A dead man cannot seek God,

That they should seek the Lord, if haply the might feel after him and find him, though he be not far from every one of us.(Acts.17:27)

Why not include the verse prior? It upholds the Sovereign Predestination view...

Acts

26: And hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation;

27: That they should seek the Lord, if haply they might feel after him, and find him, though he be not far from every one of us:

Like I said before: You sir, are quite adept at taking things out of context.

How is that a Predestination verse? Because you see the word determined?

Who doesn't know that God has control of the world and nations?

No, you are not able to fend off that verse with verse 26! The fact is that He has made man able to seek him. The bounds of their habitation have nothing to do with that fact.

27: That they should seek the Lord, if haply they might feel after him, and find him, though he be not far from every one of us:

Like I said before: You sir, are quite adept at taking things out of context.

Nothing 'out of context' about it. Now, you tell me how verse 26 affects the fact that God has determined that all men (who are not able to do so, according to Total depravity) should seek the Lord. I am not ignoring the context, you are avoiding the passage (maybe it will go away)
