Not everybody wants to be saved
-
Because God gave humans free will and when they choose not to follow God He does not interfere. The Holy Spirit is a Gentleman and will not impose Himself on anyone.
-
Someday when you’re looking into His blazing eyes you can cross-examine Him. ?
-
What glorifies you more….having a pet robot with the same behavior each minute of the day,
Or having a dog which could do wrong but chooses to love you?We have a CHOICE to Love him.
-
Some thinks they need to save themselves…
-
God want all to be saved but some people don’t like n reject the free gift of salvation God given through His Son Jesus Christ…they want it to do by their own effort …some think they are god n don’t need the one Who created them..
-
What’s your opinion of marrying someone against their wishes?
-
God has provided mighty Savior, all Europe can saved, but great majority rejected the Salvation of God, that is why
-
He is just God, He salvation is through believing in His son, Jesus Christ.
-
God can do what He wants with His creation, just like you can do what you want with what you make and earn. The difference is you, as HIs creature, are accountable to God directly, or indirectly through human government. God is only accountable to Himself. He does everything according to His good pleasure.
-
He could ,….but it wouldn’t be love if all were forced to be robots and go. It is based on free will and choice as God created us to have that. All we have to do is accept the gift and believe and out of love we serve. We have the choice either way.
-
We are saved by faith. Faith has to be exercised by the individual. Not everyone is willing to believe.
-
This is not a question that any of us can settle. We are free agents. We do as our heart desires which is rebellion against God. That is sin. The wages of sin is death. All people are under that sentence of death. He does not have to save anyone. His justice demand that punishment be carried out on all of us.
In His love He has not left us without a witness of HIs glory. All men have this witness, in His creation and in particular in themselves as being created in His image. Then we have Him demonstrating HIs love fully in His Son. In His love He commands the gospel to be proclaimed to all people. In his Love He has chosen some to be saved in His Son Jesus Christ “according to the purpose of His will” Eph. (1:3-6).
I don’t believe we understand fully the purpose of HIs will. We are accountable for our choices. Yet He remains totally sovereign over them. I can’t with my natural mind resolve this paradox. It is a mystery. -
Free will and predestination/election are both true, but irreconcilable in our limited thinking. It is a mystery, just like the Tri-unity, hypostatic union, and the spiritual Church.
-
He tries!
-
He did. Everyone who wants it can receive the free gift.
-
Gregory Kayko God does not save everyone. He only saves the elect, and the reprobate he justly damns.
-
Easy, everyone doesn’t want to be saved.
-
God will save everyone. Christ is greater than Adam.

You illustrate what happens when people cherry pick certain verses in the Bible and build a whole theology around them. You need to weigh out what Paul is saying here with what the rest of Scripture says. Here are a couple of examples, ‘Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because they have not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son. Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life, but whoever rejects the Son will not see life, for God’s wrath remains on them.’ (John 3:18, 36)
-
Sin is why He can’t
-
Evil needs to be punished. It’s the justice of God. God is love yes, but He is righteous also. Universalism is heretical and dangerous as it gives false hope.
-
First of all God can do whatever he wants to. The operative issue is that God doesn’t force himself on anybody. That is what free will is all about.
-
A love relationship is mutual. Those who hate the truth can not have a relationship with the Truth.
You can’t force people to love you back. God can’t force us to love Him back. We are not robots.

Romans 9
-
Some people do not go to heaven not because they are not loved by God but because they choose not to love God. Jesus’s love is available 24/7. His offer of salvation is free anytime thus if people are not going to accept him, its utterly wrong to say that it is His fault.
-
He wouldn’t be just if he saved unbelievers
-
He’s waiting for everyone to repent and acknowledge they’re in sin.
Acts 2:38 -
We have a free will.
-
Everyone will be saved upon accepting God’s Son Jesus’ redemption of sins. It’s just a matter of time for each person to decide whether accepting during the life time on earth or in hell.
-
He can!!! BUT NOT EVERYBODY WANTS IT, because they love sin more than God
-
His essence is righteousness. There is no flaw in Him. Among His many characteristics He is a righteous and just Being. Being in His presence in our sin would destroy us as He cannot tolerate sin. Sin must be destroyed. In His infinite love He sent His Son to take our sin upon Himself. We are justified by that act. We are justified NOT of ourselves. We are indwelled by the Spirit and live as a child of God. We can walk be the flesh and fall into sin and He will discipline us and we like any child will suffer consequences . But we are sealed. This is why you can see a Christian sin. We have the Spirit but we can choose to grieve the Spirit . But as far as hell it is a place never met for His creation. Actually the lake if fire is the final destination. Hell is a stop along the way. But God gave us a choice the choice to hear His voice and accept His free gift. Man can choose Gods way or His own.
-
He does, the real question is will people of their freewill chose to repent and serve him?
-
He can, though very few want to be saved God’s way.
-
Why don’t people listen.
-
God doesn’t wish anyone to perish but all to come to repentance. 2 Peter 3:9
-
God is holy.
-
Our Almighty God is NOT everyone BUT He created everyone. And He is the ONLY ONE who can save everyone.
-
God like very well communication and communication again, look how Adam was speaking in the Garden Eden with God, and all the Jew’s Patriachs also, therefore God like the Communication with us Christian’s, you make Communication with people you know also very well
-
Why would he give us free will of that was the case?
-
He very big on free will.
-
Jesus says in John 17:9 that he prays, not for the world, but for those who are thine (God’s). Clearly, Jesus is praying for the elect and not the reprobate. John 6:44 makes clear that we are unable to “go to God” or “accept” Him, but God does choose the elect and he draws them into His fold.
-
He can and He does!! John 14:6 –> 6:44. No one comes to the Father except by Jesus Christ, and no one comes to Christ except the Father draws him… I call this the Holy Loop (pardon the expression).
-
He wants to?
-
People do not want to be saved. GOD has to give us the desire to be saved.
