In Arminianism they teach God knows who will and will not accpet him. God sees into the future and knows those who will repsond. Then why is Jesus trying to save everyone if he knows those who will not accept him?

Greetings,
For God desires that no one should perish.
God put His Son here to preach the Gospel to the nation of Israel first to save as many from eternal condemnation and to come back to their God as they had strayed and were enamored of false gods. Those that accepted Jesus were added to the book of life and those that denied Him are scheduled for the Great White Throne judgement. Before Jesus ascended to be with His Father in Heaven Jesus commisioned the apostles to establish the church and to preach the gospel to not only the jewish people but to the gentiles also that those that had not been given the law (of Moses) would receive them and then be under the gace of God as all believers in Christ are today and for all time.

jesus is not trying to save every person on the face of the earth. he died to save a select number of people and he will be 100 percent successful in doing so. the most famous bible verse quoted in this debate is, "God sees into the future and sees who will accept and reject him and then predestines the ones who will accept him." the problem with that verse is that it is nowhere to be found in the bible

if you have a friend that you know he will say no if you'll ask him a thing would you not ask him anyway besides it is written in the scriptures that every men would hear about the word of God may be that is the reason so that when the judgment will come no men can make excuses that they haven't been told about God or salvation

Every knee shall bow and Every tounge shall confess He is God. He promised that. Every time that He is trying to save people, they might not accept Him at first, but He is planting a seed.

Jacobus was a pit master.
He came here to come against Jesus.
He had some effect.
There are people today that hold to his teachings.
To not believe, that was his teaching.
He went back to where he came from.

Jesus died to save His sheep, the elect. If He died to atone for all, all would most certainly be saved.

because he is hoping in the end that they will accept him.
