No one states people don't make choices...that is not the issue of "free will".

Or it is about the everlasting covenant established at Christ's first coming... As Christ Himself said the Kingdom is at hand.

All Scripture is God breathed... This doctrine is surmised from the the cannon of scripture... Where is the scripture about free will? What about that sacred doctrine of yours?

Just exactly how does that deal with this portion of scripture?

Tell that to God... "I will make an everlasting covenant with them that I will not turn away from them, to do them good; and I will put the fear of Me in their hearts so that they will not turn away from Me.

All of Scripture should be consulted...

"I will make an everlasting covenant with them that I will not turn away from them, to do them good; and I will put the fear of Me in their hearts so that they will not turn away from Me.

"I will make an everlasting covenant with them that I will not turn away from them, to do them good; and I will put the fear of Me in their hearts so that they will not turn away from Me.

The doctrine is not supposed to "do" anything. What you are speaking about is non-believers. They will not be saved. These that Jesus speaks of evidently did not have saving faith. Never from God's perspective were they ever to be saved. Honestly I am uncertain what you are getting at here...

Honestly this can not be answered. The people and experiences you have had are not like my own. You are profiling and stereotyping here. I don't like to do that. I allow each individual to speak for themselves.

This is a hollow argument...it is the whole cannon of Scripture that is studied. This is like saying Why do so many Armenians spend so much time only reading the negative passages. No Armenian even believes anything positive the Bible says.

35 By this all men will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another.”

Perhaps a big "S" tattooed on the back by God for those being saved would be better proof for you? Well until He decides to do that, we do have the scriptures... These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, so that you may know that you have eternal life. It...
