OK,
Bill said that "All men everywhere are drawn of God."
You said "the kingdom of heaven is full of babies and children who die as they are not held accountable before the age of accountibility"
So there's still the question of "all" being drawn or not.
Then there's the question of whether these babies and children had a choice or not? Did God force them to go to heaven? That's a big thing with the non-reformed, the need for choice. (Not that reformed theology says you haven't got one btw).
Specks in eyes hurt like hell TT. They need to be dealt with.
I'm not sure I can answer that question. Let me ask you a couple, though. First, do you think the tragedies that befell Job were God's Plan A for Job? Second, have you never known a person who said that God had not drawn them to Himself? Do you think they were lying?
I do think it's a "feeling," though I would describe it as a spiritual feeling. I would substitute "hunger" for "drawing." Unless a person hungers after God, they won't find Him. And a great many people say they have not hungered after God. Surely the fellow who through away the tract given him was not hungering after God.
God turned evil for good on Job's behalf so it was not Plan A
Because a person up to that point hasn't experienced God's drawing doesn't mean it won't happen in their later years or on their death bed....we should pray they will experience it.
Multitudes have given their heart to Jesus on their death bed and believers assume God never drew that person and they come up with doctrines to suit that assumption.
They will be shocked when they see that person in heaven
FFO
Please tell us the sort of eulogy you want your kids and grandkids to say about you. Will they say FFO was a strong tough righteous father that told us about burning in hell if we are non elect and he rarely ever spoke on 1 Cor 13.
Listeners will think a human like that is a wacko devoid of love.
Do you know any human that wants a cold hard legalistic eulogy yet you paint God that way
A great eulogy is someone who loved Jesus and his family and lived a life reflecting the nature of God's goodness
