    "And I Will Profess Unto Them, I Never Knew...Who, Exactly?"

    Those Jesus will say He never knew are them that were never His Sheep for whom He died. He could never say that to them He died for, because He said of them Jn 10:14-15 14 I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine. 15 As the Father knoweth me, even so know I the Father...

    Does man naturally have ability to Seek God ?

    Man by nature is dead to God, spiritually dead as a result of his fall/sin in Adam, the representative man for men naturally. Let me explain, physical death means to be dead to physical life, the spirit/soul of a person is separated from the physical body, and so spiritual death is the...

    The Atonement: What did it REALLY Accomplish?

    It makes them Perfect ! Heb 10:14 14 For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified. Christ's sacrifice or offering makes them He was offered in behalf of Perfect ! Now under the Old Covenant, the types and shadows, those offerings could not make the people perfect...

    Does man naturally have ability to Seek God ?

    Man naturally doesnt seek God because he cannot, simply because a person that is dead cannot do anything.

    Does man naturally have ability to Seek God ?

    Several reasons why men by nature dont seek after the True and Living God: 1st- because man has a enslaved will to sin, we are naturally servants of sin. Jesus told some men this Jn 8:34 Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whosoever committeth sin is the servant of sin. This...

    The Atonement: What did it REALLY Accomplish?

    It Gives Repentance unto Life ! Godly Repentance must come from a Godly Source, that is the kind of Repentance that worketh Salvation ! 2 Cor 7:10 For godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation not to be repented of: but the sorrow of the world worketh death. This Type of Repentance is not...

    Does man naturally have ability to Seek God ?

    Apart from the first cause of God the Father, men come to Christ of their own carnal faith, their own carnal will, based on their own carnal works, their own carnal intellect, seeking for some carnal gain . The Father is the first cause of all of those which ever come[Spiritually] to the Son for...

    Christ finished the Work God gave Him to do ! Jn 17:1-4 These words spake Jesus, and lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, Father, the hour is come; glorify thy Son, that thy Son also may glorify thee: 2 As thou hast given him power over all flesh, that he should give eternal life to as...

    The Atonement: What did it REALLY Accomplish?

    Shall die to sin and shall live unto God ! One of the sure results of the purpose of Christ's Death for all for whom He died is this 1 Pet 2:24 24 Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were...

    I will Draw them.

    Yes it is true. Drawing is Salvation. Drawing means one has been born again by the Spirit. So everyone Christ was lifted up for shall be saved. Do you deny that ? If you dont, you deny what Jesus said in Jn 12:32
