Question:
Isa 24:5-6 & Mt 7:21, 25:33, 41 has IMPLIED that God does NOT want all people to be saved if they have broken the Law of Christ. True/false?

Despite 1 Tim. 2:3-4 and 2 Pe 3:9 claiming that God wants all people to be saved this is only true if the would be ‘believers’ adhered to “His laws and statutes and the everlasting covenant” (which is also called the new covenant of Christ) mentioned in Isa 24:5, 6; and the new covenant of is also mentioned in Luke 10:27, 28.

Since Isa 24:5, 6 has made it clear that God is destined to destroy most of the earth’s inhabitants (Isa 24:6) and make the earth desolate (Isa 24:1) BECAUSE all the ones who perished have “broken his laws and statutes and the everlasting covenant”.

Consequently, we know that 1 Tim. 2:3, 4 and 2 Pe 3:9 are only true if those adhered to God’s first and second commandment, but it doesn’t apply once they have broken the first or second commandment: Lk 10:27, 28.

Therefore, it is false to suggest that 1 Tim. 2:3, 4 and 2 Pe 3:9 are always going to be true, but they are true only subject to the condition that those people adhered to the Law of Christ, which is also the Law of the new covenant.

Therefore, it is false to say that God wants all people to be saved because there are exceptions to this rule, which is clearly demonstrated by Mt 7:21-23, 25:33, 41 and Rev 20:15.

However, I know that some of you would disagree with what I have said, but wishful thinking itself doesn’t make you right, nor does it mean that this interpretation is false: Jhn 1, 7:16, 12:49, 50.

So you may well disagree with what I have said, but what are you going to do about it?

False. The Laws define sin... Christ will set you free, saving us all from our sin. The new covenant is built on relationship to the living God, not the law. This has been made possible through Jesus Christ... who He is and what He has done.

False again. Jesus is never mentioned in the Hebrew Bible; the Tanakh (old testament). No new covenant is mentioned.

* TRUE: There are personalities that cannot be allowed to mar the peace and perfection of Heaven.

* And there is a penalty to be paid by those who sin premeditated.

* Eve began this conflict with a little sin.

* So, only those who keep God's commandments can enter Paradise.

God will save those who qualify. He gave us agency, and will not force anyone. For that I am very thankful. I detest the idea of be forced. I put a huge value on my agency. So I work diligently to live like God has asked me to.

Throughout scripture God makes clear that he wills that all people should be saved. So the problem is not with God, it's rather with those who don't desire God's salvation. They either don't believe or the price is just too great.



So their wills conflict with Gods will - and he defers to them and lets them have their ways. But he never rewards that choice with heaven. Rather eternity in hell.



2Pe 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.



John 3:16&17 are beautiful. But most ignore v 18. But God doesnt



Jhn 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.



and .....



Jhn 3:19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.

We'll all deal with it. No need to be confrontational.
