Willeth = thelo.
If God’s will prevails, and lack of repentance leaves one in conflict with God’s will, how is that conflict resolved?You can stop at God is NOT willing that ANY should perish.
No choice involved, no lottery, no Vegas.
God "willeth" all mankind to be saved. Willeth = thelo.
Whose willeth prevails, the creature or the Creator?

Yea I do not think they know we can understand the Hebrew and Greek applications and it will not work with us.and?
Indeed dear friend but not all will choose to be saved. How sad this will be when all these come to JESUS at the second coming and say LORD LORD did we not do all these wonderful things in your name and JESUS responds depart from me you who work sin I never knew you.
Man does not always agree with God's will or accept it sadly and God does not force anyone to. He wants our love from a willing heart. That is why it is written many are called and few are chosen. Do you believe the scriptures dear friend? If so why do you feel the need to point us to the teachings of men instead of the teachings of JESUS through his Word. What is better the middle man or cutting out the middle man and going to the source of all love?Whose "willeth" prevails, the creature or the Creator?

Hi there Lily: repentance does not begin in us, it is "granted" by Him. I have strong confidence that the Author of the all, is the Finisher of the all. He brings to perfect completion what He begins as the ta pante.
You do know what it means in Scripture to be in/en Christ? That is what is involved by the confession of worship by every being in every dimension of the heavens, earth & underworld in union with and en the Name of all names. It is NOT by perfunctory genuflections!

Hi
I actually do believe you’re approaching this from the desire for mercy which is a good thing, and if everyone were restored my heart would cry Hallelujah and rejoice at the incomparable grace of the King who will have mercy on those he will have mercy on.
Since that’s beyond dispute, please take the questions as iron sharpening iron for both of our good.
Jesus called himself the Way and his parables about the lost are all about repentance, where there is only one way (God’s will/way) and that sin is being outside of that way (to the right or to the left) but for his people (Matthew 1:21) returning to the way is truly coming home.
So while I don’t believe your interpretation comes from a bad place, where do you find the support in scripture for the repentance of the dead in light of Hebrews 9:27-28?
As I said before, I'm not a Universalist myself, but I don't think we can pin Universalism down to this particular scenario concerning the afterlife for evil-doers.What it boils down to, though they deny it, is that God tortures sinners until they repent, whither they mean it or not. God will save everyone, even if it's against their will.
Which is not biblical. I believe this kind of teaching leads many enbolden in sin after all who cares I will always get a second chance right? Trouble is these people thinking they have a second chance never had one to begin with and will find out only too late at the second coming they lost their salvation. So for me it is a false teaching and a doctrine of devils if you do not mind me speaking plainly.As I said before, I'm not a Universalist myself, but I don't think we can pin Universalism down to this particular scenario concerning the afterlife for evil-doers.
From what I know, many or most believe that the unsaved will not just be tortured until they yell 'Uncle!" but that the process will amount to a painful, gradual, "second chance" that will ultimately lead to their redemption.

My friend I am going to declare it again & again & again, the Father of all fathers has a glorious Plan that does not involve any degree of chance. NONE!
Indeed dear friend and your point here is????
meme
Father’s Superior Plan A=
“It is in Him, and through the shedding of His blood, that we have our deliverance–the forgiveness of our offences–so abundant was God’s grace, the grace which He, the possessor of all wisdom and understanding, lavished upon us, when He made known to us the mystery of His will. And this is in harmony with God’s merciful purpose for the government of the world when the times are ripe for it-- the purpose which He has cherished in His own mind of restoring the whole creation to find its one Head in Christ; yes, things in Heaven and things on earth, to find their one Head in Him. And you…”
95%, fact or conjecture?This is why 95% of all those who decide for Christ, fall away within the first year -
If you are disagreeing with the term "second chance," it does not mean that there is anything haphazard or uncertain involved. The reference is to a second time through, no? That's all I meant by it.My friend I am going to declare it again & again & again,

Perhaps they have been taught universalism and decided they would rather live like the devil in this life and wait for their second chance in the next (which will never come sadly).95%, fact or conjecture?
