Whoaaaaaaa up. I thought that I was instructed that the non-elect do NOT do God’s will. Now you tell me that even the non believers do God’s will. I am confused and confounded. Which one is it?

Non-believers do not do the spiritual things of God. They certainly have been raised up by God to do other things.

2Ki 24:2 The LORD sent against him bands of Chaldeans, bands of Arameans, bands of Moabites, and bands of Ammonites. So He sent them against Judah to destroy it, according to the word of the LORD which He had spoken through His servants the prophets.

How can we do justice, love mercy and walk humbly with our God if nothing we do matters

Who said "nothing matters". Christians who have been set free are free indeed. They can do good and be obedient to God's calling or they can be rebellious and God will chasten them.

How would you characterize the differences between the outgoing and inward callings?

What other things do the non believers do?

And would you please explain to me the difference between non believer and non elect.

I have asked and asked and have not gotten an answer that I can understand about how God chastens an elect here on Earth.

Suppose that you summarize the difference between the outgoing and inward callings? I’m finding it tough sledding.

What other things? What are you talking about? If someone does the will of God, then he does. If not, then your failed philosophy of Calvinism kicks in and he does not.

Are we looking at the OT through OT eyes? Not through Gospel eyes? Oh boy. I thought that Jesus came to fulfill the Law.
