Jesus Christ said it. In John 6:44 ( 44"No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him, and I will raise him up at the last day.) Also, John 6:65 (65He went on to say, "This is why I told you that no one can come to me unless the Father has enabled him.") Listen, some people just will not get it no matter how hard we try. For God made the world but the world did not know him. And he spoke the truth but the people hate the truth. aAnd flee from the light. Not everyone can know who Christ is only the ones who the Father wants. Let me ask you Christians who have a relationship, how lucky are you that God hand chose you for his kingdom? As far as I know we are blessed because we found the little gate to heaven, EVEN more blessed for we have walked through it. What's your response?

Hmm... I guess if you're not a Christian, you don't much care what Jesus said, do you? That shoots that source to bits, so you'd better come up with another one.

Do you think of Christians nicely bypass to heaven in Islam? No because of the fact there are some undesirable deeds and take each and every of the solid deeds away. in simple terms god is familiar with each and every of the solid deeds and undesirable deeds a individual did. And individual can tell if there are a solid individual or undesirable individual. that's a occasion of a solid individual: help a destructive individual never day, would not kill, would not steel and would not lie. that's a occasion of a foul individual: disrespectfully to his mothers and dads, steels, enables a destructive individual common and carry a door for a old adult males common (as I stated till now there or some undesirable deeds that take a manner each and every of the solid deeds). So could be waiting to tell climate or no longer you're over all a foul individual or a solid individual. this would not take quite a number of thinking. definite all of us make mistake especially situations god can forgive us for that (any factor however the unforgivable sin). the subject with your faith is absolutely everyone that is going heaven whether he killed 6 million human beings yet believes that a guy died on your sins.

You are totally wrong!
God never created anyone for Hell, read Jn 3:16, Rom 10:9+10, Jn 10:9 and a multitude of other passages.
All those 2 passages that you quoted say, is that salvation is a God thing not entirly a human thing.
God shows no partiallity Romans 2:11, if what you say is true than God is a liar and we can burn our Bibles and we have no savior in Christ!!!
Let God be true and every man a liar Romans 3:4
What sense does it make for God not to open his doors for everyone who WANTS in, Not the God I know

I don't believe you, but I believe what God said on this subject here:
2Pt:3:9: The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
1 Tim 2:
3: For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour;
4: Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.

Let's look at how God draws man...
*Romans 10:17 So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
Faith comes by hearing the word of God...and how do we hear?
*Romans 10:14-15 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? and how shall they hear without a preacher? And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!
We hear by "preachers", those that preach the gospel of peace.
*Matthew 13:23 But he that received seed into the good ground is he that heareth the word, and understandeth it; which also beareth fruit, and bringeth forth, some an hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.
The good ground is "he that heareth the word and UNDERSTANDS it.
God draws ALL MEN; He doesn't pick and choose who He's drawing...
*John 12:32 And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me.
God wants ALL MEN to come to the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ...
*1 Timothy 2:4 Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.
*John 3:18 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.
Jesus said it best...
*John 12:48 He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day.
God KNOWS some men will REJECT Christ...this is why Jesus warned mankind of the wages of sin.
What you are teaching is called false doctrine, specifically limited atonement...that Christ did not pay for the sins of all mankind. Scripture says He did pay for the sins of all mankind...
*1 John 2:2 And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world.

My response is that multitudes of well intentioned Christians like yourself (although you seem very happy that many people are going to hell without you), vehemently advocating things that are not so, are the main reason so many people cannot accept Christianity. John did not say that everyone will not be called: Isaaiah 45:23-25 I have sworn by myself, the word is gone out of my mouth in righteousness, and shall not return, That unto me every knee shall bow, every tongue shall swear. 24 Surely, shall one say, in the LÔRD have I righteousness and strength: even to him shall men come; and all that are incensed against him shall be ashamed. 25 In the LÔRD shall all the seed of Is´rā̇-el be justified, and shall glory.

I believe it means God knows your heart, and if you have a heart for Him, He will draw you in.
I say this because I think about King David. He was a humble shepherd boy, with a huge heart for God. He never thought about being a king, but God chose him to be one, because He knew David's heart. Therefore, He drew David into His Kingdom.

The doctrine of predestination is such a horrible idea. Can you imagine a human parent creating some of their kids for happiness and some for being burned alive for eternity? What kind of monster would that be?

The bible repeatedly states that Jesus died for ALL MEN, so that ALL MEN might be saved. Therefore ALL MEN are destined for heaven. However, the gift of free will allows each person to either accept their divinely ordained destiny, or to substitute a destiny of their own making.

I think your putting the twist on what he said,
there are to many scriptures to show that
is not how that was meant. your doing the
Lord a disservice by your subject line.
That is not true, and jesus said that
ALL men should be saved, he died for ALL the world
, not just some.. its upto the
person, but its his timing that draws, not weather he
is going to or not.
