That is because you are just making up what it says rather than seriously trying to learn what it actually says and means. That is the whole MO of Calvinism soteriology. It all actually began with Augustine when he inserted his manichaeistic doctrine of Total Depravity into his Christian teaching. Calvin, later, picked it up and ran with it. Augustine was wrong and so was Calvin.
I disagree

It does not say that.

Not sure what your reading. But I would take jesus word for it.
It says it to me. People who dont come to believe in Jesus is because they were not of His Sheep that He specifically died for Jn 10:26

26 But ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep, as I said unto you.

That being the case they are condemned in their sins.

The bible can not contradict itself.

Jesus said he died for the word. that whoever.

He also said that they are condemned because they do not believe (not because they were not chosen.)

Your cherry picking verses and taking them out of Context.

There is no question that God brings us to believe in Jesus.

We must also be Born Of The Spirit/ Born Again..that’s when we receive God given faith.....belief is not enough, we must also have that Living Spiritual rebirth....as in being Born Again of imperishable seed....that can only be received into the heart, when God births our spirit into his..Spirit gives birth to spirit.

Of course the carnal mind could never understand this...

Again if Christ died for one, they will believe because their disobedience is put away and forgiven, the only ones who will remain in unbelief are those whom He did not die and did not put away their unbelief and all of their other sins as well.

No it does not

He died for their sin. No one will go to hell because they commited a personal sin, Jesus paid that debt,
Yes, He died for their sins, (Matthew 1:21). But ONLY FOR HIS PEOPLE'S SINS and NOT for EVERYONE.

they will go to hell because they did nto recieve Gods grace gift, Because they refused to be born again Like jesus told them to (john 3)
They will go to hell BECAUSE they are SINNERS! (Ezekiel 18:14). AND, the "wages of sin is death!! Jesus only saved the sins of His people.

Thats good

But you still reject the gospel. And you have a God that does not love
How so? I rest and base my faith on God's grace and ❤!!

To God Be The Glory
