The "offering" mentioned in Heb 10:10 was not God offering anything to anyone.
So “you” say.
Gods Word says, God Offers man.
Man can Freely choose to TAKE Gods Offering… or Not.

Your Failure to Understand, the All Knowing God, Already Knows WHAT each man “Shall Choose” …
Does Not subjugate a mans FREEWILL to “Pick, Choose, Elect” the Lord God Almighty to BE, that mans God.

Josh 24:
[15] And if it seem evil unto you to serve the LORD, choose you this day whom ye will serve;

1 Thes 1:
[4] Knowing, brethren beloved, your election of God.

Deut 30:
[19] I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live:

1Chr 21:
[11] So Gad came to David, and said unto him, Thus saith the LORD, Choose thee
[12] Either …

Isa. 56:
[4] For thus saith the LORD unto the eunuchs that keep my sabbaths, and choose the things that please me, and take hold of my covenant;

Heb 10:
[10] By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.

I can NOT learn OR Understand OR CHOOSE your beliefs OR you God, FOR You….Nor Can YOU Choose “For Me”.

* I have Have Freely, HeartFully Chosen The Creator and Maker Lord God Almighty… AND Freely, HeartFully “NOTIFIED” The Lord God Almighty OF “MY Own Choosing, Election “OF Him”!
* It IS a Mutual ONE to ONE FOREVER “Agreement”…Arrangement”…”Relationship”…
The Lord God Almighty Chose Me and I Chose Him.

(Seems you are Befuddled, without Understanding, THAT a “Relationship” IS “Established” Between TWO, WHEN Each Freely Chooses the other!

I do NOT “Want For” that which I have Already Chosen AND Possess and ARE Sanctified, By, Through, Of the Lord God Almighty.


Phil 1
[22] But if I live in the flesh, this is the fruit of my labour: yet what I shall choose I wot not.


“YOU” Do NOT possess “authority to Judge me or my Standing WITH and IN Christ the Lord God Almighty.”

Glory to God,
Taken

Now you have confused me even more. Are you suggesting that John 3:16 is saying that God so loved everyone in the whole world including the Prince of this world "Satan" and traitors like Judas Iscariot and all those reprobates He killed in the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah and all those He killed with the world wide flood.
are you saying that you are more righteous than these people. more worthy? more honorable? Or do you believe as the word says there are non righteous not not one. that all have sinned and fall short. and that if we even stumble in one area. we are all guilty of the law.
Please clarify why you hold to this untenable, contradictory position. I get the sense it's out of fear of the awful truth.
I do not fear truth. the truth set me free.. it can set you free too
Yes the Lord Jesus Christ didn't come into the world to judge the world, during His time upon the earth. But He is coming back as a Man of War, with a legion of His Angels to wage war on the rulers of this world and their armies. He promised to kill billions of men, women, children and unborn children in their mothers womb.
Yes he is and he will

Nut first he came so he could offer everyone salvation.. That way when he dies come back and destroys them, and does cast them to hell. They can;t blame him, because he died for them also. they willfully rejected his gift. and deserve what they get
So much for your prosperity gospel and the meek and mild long haired hippy Jesus.
Have no idea what your talking about. I reject prosperity gospel.

But We all see you think you know it all.. so I am not sure until you repent you can understand what God said, let alone what others are saying


You claim that everyone has the opportunity (possibility) to make a decision, but God is against you.
Nope.
He said that none seek after Him and all have gone astray.
Yep. that is why he comes and draws people to himself.. and why NO ONE will have an excuse on judgment day
His Word also confirms that we are all born dead in our trespasses and sin,
Amen
as such we cannot make a decision to believe in Him.
Wrong

why do you doubt the power of God?
Our sin nature causes us to hate God and only love our sin sin and serve Satan.
lol. ok.. keep believing this
If God doesn't quicken us out of that state of death, then we remain dead forever as you rightly pointed out, thank you.
God is not going to quicken us while still under the penalty of sin.

1. John 3, in jesus words. He who does not believe is condemned already.. If I do not believe I am condemned. I am condemned because I am still dead in sin

John 5. 24 “Most assuredly, I say to you, he who hears My word and believes in Him who sent Me has everlasting life, and shall not come into judgment, but has passed from death into life.

Passing from death to life happens AFTER we see and believe. Just as Paul said in eph 1: 13 - 14
I am no longer under judgment because my Condemnation was removed (john 3, he who believes is not condemned)

But you're still using your faith as a work, so according to your private interpretation of the gospel.
It is the work of God I came to faith.

Your private interpretation catholic strawman is useless here. Give me a real biblical reason to show me wring
You were saved when you exercised your faith, so yes you believe you were saved by the faith that you already possessed as a personal attribute of yours.
No. I was offered salvation For it is By Grace I have been saved

God did not force it on me. He wanted me to freely recieve it.

I did not save myself by recieving the work of someone else.
But the awful truth is, you never had any faith at all. In fact you never had anything that God didn't give you to start with. Please put your pride down and humble yourself, if you confess you sin to the Lord He is faithful to forgive you and receive you as a son.

Pride is the sin, which separates man from God. As long as men rely on their faith to save them, they remain seperated from God. We have nothing to offer God, so we're entirely dependent on Him for salvation. That should humble us to the point where there is no room for any pride in our life.
I've heard many testimonies, where believers described a time when the reached the end of themselves and became entirely dependent upon God in all things.
Yet your pride in these last two posts are strong and clearly seen by all

Judge not lest you be judged. if your going to call someone out. Look in the mirror..

Judge your own pride before you falsly accuse someone else.
