Who placed within man his preferences ? I am speaking of the natural man. This is not a discussion on sanctification , it is a discussion on how the unsaved come to Christ.

Which is what my post was about. But reading comprehension isn't everyone's bag.

I asked

To which you answered

Which is what my post was about. But reading comprehension isn't everyone's bag.

Your sarcasm would be funny if you read what you wrote with understanding

Unless you are CURRENTLY UNSAVED then this makes no sense

Well, I was gonna go sarcastic, but instead....
I would first change the verb to "who is placing your preferences in to you" as I believe that I am still being sanctified though I have already been declared righteous in God's sight.

And it is the work of the Holy Spirit in me which is giving me those preferences as I crucify the flesh daily. And He (the Holy Spirit) is placing those preferences in me as a natural follow of my acceptance of the gift of grace which He freely offers to whosoever will. And whosoever really means "whosoever." It's quite a radical doctrine, I know, but I'm particularly enamored with it.

This is about a saved man, not an unsaved man (I do assume you are saved???) The Holy Spirit does not indwell the unsaved. That was not the question. One more time for those that find what I write not understandable

I am asking WHO PLACED THE PREFERECNCE IN THE UNSAVED ? WHO PLACED THE PREFERENCES IN THE ONE YEAR OLD NEXT DOOR ? Is that clearer ??

Why do some "whosoevers "come and others not? We say it was because the Father draws them . That the Holy Spirit quickened them and restored the will that was in bondage because of the fall ...and you say ???
