They what they have been able to purchase.
Yes, it is. God is sovereign in the same way a country’s leader is sovereign. The king is even called a “sovereign.” He doesn’t control individual choices same as God doesn’t. Neither want to do so.
Man also exists in the spiritual realm. Christ’s rule extends into the natural as well. That’s how he can heal our diseases.’
No, “choose this day whom you will serve” means we choose as well. It’s Gods will that all are saved but not all choose.
No, Lazarus was dead in the natural realm. Dead in sin is solely spiritual, It’s a metaphor. When Jesus sent out the twelve or when Paul preached the gospel and many believed, no one said they’d “raised the dead in sin.”
Where did you get that idea from? That procedure is no where in scripture. The procedure is men preach the truth. God’s word calls men to him (and repent). Men choose to respond or not.
Even Christ was Predestined.
Jesus died for His Church. ALL humans are not of His Church.
What you believe is the theology of Arminianism named after Jacob Arminius.
The five-points of Arminianism challenged the orthodox beliefs of the Heidelberg and Belgic Confession and brought confusion to the Holland Church. They convened a hearing and for several years Arminianism was discussed and, in the end, ruled by the Divines as heresy.
The Roman Catholic Church teaches Arminianism and also Semi-Pelagianism. Pelagius lived at the time of Martin Luther and even he charged Pelagius with heresy, and this led to Martin Luther's book "The Bondage of the Will" which he wrote, as Paul, that we are in bondage of sin.
Jesus taught this very same thing where he states that a stronger man (Jesus) must first bind the strong man (sin) before He can take His Spoils. NO MAN seeks God. The is a book of life of names of everyone Christ died for and will save. When Christ died that day at Calvary He ACTUALLY saved someone. Your Arminianism teaches that the sacrifice of Christ does not become effective until someone later "accepts Jesus into their heart," something the apostles never taught. Teaching that Christ's sacrifice doesn't become effective until someone accepts Jesus means that on that day Christ died, He saved NO ONE since it is not effective until someone accepts Jesus. THINK!
10 As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one: 11 There is none that understandeth,
there is none that seeketh after God. Rom. 3:10–11.
Tell me, is Paul lying? Do people actually seek God? Here's another: Christ is the Light of the world.
18
He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. 19
And this is the condemnation, that light [CHRIST] is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light [CHRIST], because their deeds were evil. 20
For every one that doeth evil hateth the light [CHRIST], neither cometh to the light [CHRIST], lest his deeds should be reproved. Jn 3:18–20.
Christ came into the world.
Men/women love darkness rather than Christ.
Everyone hates Christ.
NEITHER COME to Christ.
Christ said this. Do you understand what He is saying? There's a reason this was said by Christ and why it's in the Bible:
24 But Jesus did not commit himself unto them, because he knew all men, 25 And needed not that any should testify of man: for
he knew what was
in man. Jn 2:23–25.
