[Dr. Eckleburg]

The "all men" in the first part of the verse refers to "all kinds of men" since Christ did not come to just save only the Jews, but men from every race and nation.

Christ specifically and particularly came to save "those who believe." Those who are "the called according to His purpose."

Yeah. Right. And work out your own salvation doesn’t mean you have any choice in the matter.

Again, dueling proof texts is futile.

You use proof texts to prove God is cruel and unjust. I’ll just continue to point out that however you got there, you took a wrong turn.
