Consider the Flood and Attributes of God

[Carry_Your_Name]

However, Scripture is insistent that Christ's mission was to "save His people from their sins" (Matt. 1:21). No matter the Bible version, they all say the same thing: HE WILL SAVE HIS PEOPLE. Scripture confirms this fact. Christ declares, I LOST NONE (John 17:12). His mission to save was and is 100% perfectly successful. Failure is not an attribute of God.

Many folks, such as yourself, believe Christ came to save those who willingly received Him, placing the determining factor of salvation upon the decision of the sinner. However, Ephesians 1, John 1:13 and Romans 8 & 9 (to name a few) all refute that theory. Nevertheless, many folks, such as yourself, refuse to believe the fact that it is God who determined the recipients of saving grace, not the sinner. Such a determination was done in eternity before the sinner was born. Scripture is quite clear about this (Romans 9:11 ff.).

Even a simple, clear verse such as "You didn't choose me, I chose you" is twisted by many folks, including
yourself, to extend only to Apostleship, when bearing fruit is the principle and rule for all Christians, not just the Apostles.

You know neither Christ's mission nor God's will. "His people" is a fixed number, of which none will be lost, this number was predestined, that's the "few"; who exactly make it into this few, however, was NOT predetermined, because God is NOT a respecter of person, he doesn't discriminate like you do. "Whosoever" believes will have eternal life, whosoever overcomes will be clothed in white garment, the proper wedding outfit, "believe" and "overcome" are of a determining factor. God loves all by inviting all to the wedding, that's how many are called; out of the many, however, only those who overcome are clothed in white garments, only they get to stay in the wedding, the fixed number is reached, no spare seat for anybody else, and no failure on God's part.

Rest assured that you and I read the same bible, in particular, the same parable of the wedding feast. Our difference is, you believe this whole invitation process was rigged, it was all a sham, the real guest list was predetermined; I believe it's an open and fair process, he had a predetermined amount of white garments, but not a predetermined guest list, the few are those who overcome, as the Lord himself said. To put it in other way, if God's people are the "elect", then it's a rigged election to you, while it's a fair election to me.

You have a few names even in Sardis who have not defiled their garments; and they shall walk with Me in white, for they are worthy. He who overcomes shall be clothed in white garments, and I will not blot out his name from the Book of Life; but I will confess his name before My Father and before His angels. (Rev. 3:4-5)
Then a white robe was given to each of them; and it was said to them that they should rest a little while longer, until both the number of their fellow servants and their brethren, who would be killed as they were, was completed. (Rev. 6:11)

Your denial of self determining factor is unbiblical. Don't you know that Lord Jesus himself had a will of his own, which means, a free will that distinguishes him, God the Son from God the Father? Adam, by his self determining factor, rebelled against the Father; Jesus, by his self determining factor, yielded to the Father. Without free will, none of these would be possible.

And He was withdrawn from them about a stone’s throw, and He knelt down and prayed, saying, “Father, if it is Your will, take this cup away from Me; nevertheless not My will, but Yours, be done.”(Lk. 22:41-42)
