You know what you wrote, if you don't know what you wrote, well, that's pitiful
So then that means no, right ?

The indicative mood is a simple statement of fact. If an action really occurs or has occurred or will occur, it will be rendered in the indicative mood.
Ask of me,.... Jehovah is either here again introduced speaking, or these words are a continuation of the Son's account of what his Father said unto him; which do not suppose any superiority in the one, or inferiority in the other; but are only expressive of the Father's great respect and affection for his Son, as such a way of speaking among men shows, Esther 5:3; and of the great interest the Son had in his Father, who could ask nothing but he had it; and shows the perfect harmony, agreement, and unity between them: see 1 Kings 3:5; Christ, in the council and covenant of grace and peace, asked many things of his Father, which were granted; he asked for the persons of all the elect to be his bride and spouse, and his heart's desire was given him, and the request of his lips was not withheld from him: he asked for all the blessings of grace for them; for spiritual life here, and eternal life hereafter; and all were given him, and put into his hands for them, Psalm 20:2; and here it is promised him,
and I shall give thee the Heathen for thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession; by "the Heathen", and "the uttermost parts of the earth", are meant God's elect among the Gentiles, and who live in the distant parts of the world; which are Christ's other sheep, the Father has given to him as his portion, and whom he has made his care and charge: as if it was not enough that he should be King of Zion, or have the government over his chosen ones among the Jews, he commits into his hands the Gentiles also; see Isaiah 49:6; and these are given him as his inheritance and possession, as his portion, to be enjoyed by him; and who esteems them as such, and reckons them a goodly heritage, and a peculiar treasure, his jewels, and the apple of his eye. These words respect the calling of the Gentiles under the Gospel dispensation; and the amplitude of Christ's kingdom in all the earth, which shall be from sea to sea, and from the rivers to the ends of the earth.
Matt 1:21 #1
21And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins.
Scripture could not be plainer than this, as to whom Jesus Christ was born to save from their sins, whom He is a Saviour to, His People !
Not the whole world of mankind, for many of them are not His People, but the devils children, the children of the wicked one Matt 13:38-39
38The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked one;
39The enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are the angels.
The tare and the wheat are both by nature children of wrath, that is depraved, and sinful.
By nature you cannot tell the tare [children of the devil] and the wheat [ children of God by election] apart
notice vs
29But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also the wheat with them.
Again, thats because the tare and the wheat are very similar in behaviour by nature, both are sinful.
Being a Sheep, or wheat, or Gods people, does not mean they are not as others, sinners by nature.
Jesus said of the tares, the enemy that sowed them was the devil.
Now these people whom Jesus is saying that the devil sowed them into the world, are not the people Christ came to save. He came to save these Matt 13:37
37He answered and said unto them, He that soweth the good seed is the Son of man;
He came to save the good seed, that He himself soweth, the Son of man.
The good seed is the elect as they stood in Adam in the beginning, remember after Adam was created, that He was pronounced very good, and He was said to be created in the image and likeness of God.
The Tares are the devils seed, remember when God told the Serpent [ the devil] that he had a seed ? Gen 3:15 so He [ the devil] is the enemy that sowed them.
For God never Loved those whom the devil sowed into the world, neither did Jesus come to save them from their sins, He did not give His life for the tares, the children of the wicked one. Show me a verse of scripture that declares that Jesus came to save them whom the devil sowed into the world !
In Jn 15:13 we read this:
13Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.
The devil nor his children are His friends, neither is the elect by nature, but He is their friend because they had before the world began, chosen in Him.
Now who are the people Christ came to save from their sins ? Who was the friend of God ?
2 Chron 20:7
7Art not thou our God, who didst drive out the inhabitants of this land before thy people Israel, and gavest it to the seed of Abraham thy friend for ever?
The Seed of Abraham thy Friend !
Isa 41:8
8But thou, Israel, art my servant, Jacob whom I have chosen, the seed of Abraham my friend.
James 2:23
23And the scripture was fulfilled which saith, Abraham believed God, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness: and he was called the Friend of God.
Hence, Jesus people whom He shall save from their sins, is the seed of Abraham, for it was for this people only that He came into flesh and blood and identified with
Heb 2:16
16For verily he took not on him the nature of angels; but he took on him the seed of Abraham [His friend].
I was led to start right at the beginning of this thread and continue to the end until finished.
I found that this excellent post #1 contains answers to many questions that forum members
have on this issue, about who it is that Christ came to save and why: It shows, according
to the Scriptures, why Christ certainly did not come to save the devils children, the tares!
The Lord Bless You! ☺

WHERE ARE HIS PEOPLE ?
beloved57;2764257 #9 said:The Angel announced clearly what the Purpose was that occasion Christ to be born into this world as a Saviour. Matt 1:21
21And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins.
Lk 2:11
For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.
That was His work that He came to do. to seek and to save that which was Lost Lk 19:10
10For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.
Jn 6:39-40
39And this is the Father's will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day.
40And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.
Now in anticipation of His Finished work, that is to seek and to save that which was Lost, Jesus states Jn 17:4
4I have glorified thee on the earth: I have finished the work which thou gavest me to do.
What was the Work that The Father gave Him to do ? Well read again Matt 1:21; Lk 2:11; Lk 19:10; Jn 6:39-40
It was to save all the Father had given Him to save, to seek and to save that which was Lost.
Christ said, I have finished that work Jn 17:4
He states it again here Jn 19:30
When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost.
What was finished ? He saved by His work of the Cross all whom the Father willed to be saved ! All that He came to seek and to save that were Lost, He sought them, found them, and Saved them, It is finished..
Now if there is one soul that the Father desired to be saved that was Lost, not saved, then Christ did not finish the Work the Father gave Him to do, and He lied when He said His work was finished.
What God had Jesus do to save his people was sufficient to save any and all who choose to believe.
God called, some answered.
God, wisely using his foreknowledge, already knows who will choose to believe God. He chose them, He marked them out beforehand for himself, KJV English, is predestinated, a poor choice.
I do not have that list of people that God chose.
But God does. He wants that all men be saved, I Timothy 2:4, but not all men will choose Him. He already knows that.
So then, all those who insist that Christ died for all of mankind,
but that not all of mankind will be saved, because they say some have
rejected Christ of their own freewill, they are calling Christ a liar.

Yes, and they are calling Christ a Failure. You see, the ones God wants to be saved in 1 Tim 2:4, its Christ's responsibility to seek them and to save them Lk 19:10 !
You see, the ones God wants to be saved in 1 Tim 2:4, its Christ's responsibility to seek them and to save them Lk 19:10 !
The Father's will is that all He had given to the Son John 6:39; Eph, 1:4,
that the Son would not lose them, but He would seek and save them Luke 19:10.
The same all is spoken of in:
1 Tim. 2:3-4 For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour;
Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.
Christ successfully accomplished the Work that The Father gave Him to do,
according to His Perfect Will John 6:39-40; John 19:30.
Yes, they are calling Christ a Failure, too!

Yes, I understand, they are the same "all" given to Christ by The Father.
