That is your loss. I might still reply to your posts.

Can you cite one instance in the gospel when Jesus ever went to the people to seek them out because of His message of salvation but rather they came to Him because His fame [miracles/Life] went before Him?
You deny we are to seek God even thought the scriptures rebuke you.
Is Jesus God? Yes.
Therefore, God always comes looking for us sinners.
You don't have to believe it though.
I trust God and obey Jesus' words, and for that you put me down. Anyone can obey Jesus. I am trying to spur others on to do just that. I am trying to get you and those like you to see that you are not preaching the truth and that you are hindering people who want to be saved.
Anyone can obey and be saved.
You are as the accuser, and the mocker.
It is Jesus who tells us we must live on the words of God. It is Jesus who says we eat him by obeying his words.
I'm sorry but say that doesn't make you right. His words: "Whosoever will let him come unto Me". He twists no one's arm or heart to persuade.Is Jesus God? Yes.
Therefore, God always comes looking for us sinners.
You haven't disproved anything I said. You actually are trying to adopt what I said without acting like it.
Sinner nevertheless, you say. No way, for the scriptures say the saved are BORN AGAIN and are HOLY and PERFECT.
So how do you stop being a habitual sinner? lol
Does that mean you have to obey? Obey is what I have been preaching.
Everyone is, was, a sinner.
God searches all hearts and minds.
That doesn't mean we do not have to seek God.
I posted the scriptures, which you don't believe.

Lifeisgood could not do what was asked, and it shows his reasoning and preaching is flawed and in error.
Who said anything about Him twisting any one's arm or heart?
God came looking for us. That simple.
Every time the Gospel of salvation is preached God is coming looking for us.
No one did.
When He finds us and accepts us as His, then we always want to go to Him because now we belong to Him.
I never said any such thing.You, yourself, have confessed that you do not obey ALL of Jesus' commandments exactly as you so vociferously say you do.
You can boast that BEFORE you EVER knew about God you OBEYED and you got saved.
And you, yourself, gt, have confessed that you have done no such thing.
The works are God's works. They are light.You, gt, keep on working to provide your own salvation.
You can obey too.Lord, Lord, it's me, gt, look at all my obedience. Can't you see how much I, me, and myself obey you, Lord? But when people ask me about my obedience I have to confess 'nah, I'm not all that obedience as I profess.'
If it fits you, wear it.
Two words?Jesus left only two words for His followers to obey.
Did you hear that, gt, His followers, not people that have never heard about Him and have no idea who He is. Get a grip, gt.
No saved sinner is supposed to habitually sin.
Sinners nevertheless.
Holy because they have been placed in Christ and being that Christ is Holy and Perfect and Merciful and Gracious, etc. those sinners He has saved are holy sinners.
You confuse "condition" with "position". You'll not understand anyway.
Every true believer in Jesus Christ and His vicarious/finished/completed work on the Cross of Calvary are saved sinners.
If you are looking exclusively to Jesus Christ and His vicarious/finished/completed work on the Cross of Calvary for your salvation, you are a saved sinner; otherwise, you are still a UNsaved sinner working to provide your own salvation rejecting the already provided only way of salvation God will accept.
Understanding Your Position
Something often overlooked in Paul’s instructions to the saints is the difference between our position and our condition. It has also been referred to as our standing and state, salvation and service.
Your salvation, standing, or position in Christ is received by grace through faith.
This new position in the body of Christ has changed your identity, that is, who you are.
You are no longer a sinner, but a saint (Rom 5:19).
You are no longer in Adam, but in Christ (Rom 5:17).
You are no longer a servant of sin, but a servant of righteousness (Rom 6:17-18).
There are still people who do what is right and they are the ones who when they hear about Jesus believe.
And if they don't hear about Him they, on that day, will be judged by their deeds.
So we can safely assume that the reason for them hearing about Jesus is to make disciples of them?

There is a generation, O how lofty are their eyes! and their eyelids are lifted up.
