Hey, if anyone claims it was they who chose God then they have boasting rights over those who didn’t. There’s no two ways about it. Do you choose to sin? If not where is the free will?

Please, try to read what I have actually posted. Romans is not unfamiliar to me. It is God's Spirit Who woos the spirit of man. BUT that man must accept the Truth when it is pricking at his heart. What do YOU imagine were the pricks Jesus spoke of when He spoke to Saul on his way to Damascus? the particulars I cannot give you, but the theme is emblazoned across the Bible ... Faith cometh by hearing, and hering by The WOrd of God. Faithful is He that calleth you for He will also do it. By Faith Abraham had righteousness accounted to him. Saul knew all of these things. Gamaliel would not have let him loose from studies as a young man had he not learned these key things. And Gam old boy told the Sanhedrin that they better take care what they fought against, for if it be of God they are doomed in their endeavor.

But eno8ugh of my writing. You all know more thn me ... but you do not know the God of the Bible if you even entertain the notion that God forces anyone in this Church Age to Love Him or receive His Son. The Gift of God is His Grace in Christ Jesus.abd each of us will answer for whether we faithe in Him or in our own vain imaginations. When some come to Him and plead this or that life, calling Him Lord, He will say depart from Me, I never knew you. Satan knows Jesus is Lord, but satan will not allow God to be God in him. Any boy, girl, man or woman who will thank Him for His astonishing Gift and let God be God in them, that one Jesus knows! But how can one 'let' if they have no sovereignty over their will? Amazing that such a thing is impossible to hear with some.
