God is COMMANDING all men everywhere to repent. Yet most aren't. Doesn't this mean that some men are stronger than God? How can anyone resist a direct command by God?
And if God knows who is going to repent and who isn't, then why is he wasting time commanding every man to repent? Why doesn't he just command the elect to repent?

Doug Listen real close shhhhhhhhhhhh the unregenerate man can not HEAR that command. It is not a matter of strength..that puts repentance in "huaman will" area..and as I proved to you with scripture..repentance is a gift from God..

Oh. Okay. God is commanding ALL MEN EVERYWHERE to repent even though he knows that some men can't hear him. Hmmmm. Well taking into account your interpetation, that means that reading this verse God wills to give the gift of repentence to all men everywhere...yet some can't hear him....correct?
