You have a strange religion, in mine, all those Christ died for, upon them came Justification of Life Rom 5:18
18 Therefore as by the offence of one judgment came upon all men to condemnation; even so by the righteousness of one the free gift came upon all men unto justification of life.
The Free Gift came upon us, we did nothing, in fact i was not even born when it came upon me !
Redemption is NOT salvation for which you have to a choice as to what you want that which God provided for by the death Of Jesus Christ. If you want it, you ask it. If you reject so great salvation, how then will you escape so great a judgment?
Does this read like you have nothing to do with it either in the giving or the receiving of Gods salvation?:
"How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard [to make any decision in the matter]?
and how shall they hear without a preacher?"
Romans 10:14 (KJV)
"The Lord's bond-servant must not be quarrelsome, but be kind to all, able to teach, patient when wronged, with gentleness correcting those who are in opposition, if perhaps God may grant them repentance leading to the knowledge of the truth, and
they may come to their senses and escape from the snare of the devil, having been held captive by him to do his will." 2 Timothy 2:24-26 (NASB)
Don't accuse me of being of a strange religion when you all don't have both your oars in the water.
Redemption was/is a rescue from something NOT unto something that salvation is all about.
