God's Soverignty & Human Will
God's Soverenty & Mans Free Will
Discussing Unbelief.
God saves, but those who reject Jesus, all responsibility for the sinners unbelief falls on the sinner. Condemnation is because the sinner is unwilling. Judgment is never attributed to God, but the unwillingness of the sinner. Judgement is not a matter of God being unwilling to recieve (Scripture is clear on that; whosoever, come to me). Judgement is not attributed by some decree by God or his unwillingness to receive a sinner. The sinners condemnation is never cuz of some limit in the atonement work of Christ; as if there's no way to include these people as if theres no provision for them. Judgment is never attributed to a lack of invitation, we take the gospel to the world. It is never attributed to a lack of information. The sinners judgment is simply & entirely the sinners unwillingness to believe. It is about Unbelief. -John MacArthur
John 5:40 "Not willing" 7:17 "If you are willing".
Paralell to God's soverignty is the Human will; in which the person is responsible for their own will. They bear alone the guilt of "unbelief". -John MacArthur

See the faq links 👈 here for more on this. Just remember that just because you dont understand it at the moment, doesnt mean that with more study in Scripture that God cant make it clearer to you.
Also know that, I dont want misunderstandings or differences to divide us. But it is important to look into this.
Even Charles Wesley and Whitfield had disagreements and that is how the quote "Let's agree to disagree" came about.
"There are many doctrines of less essential nature, in these we may think and let think, we may agree to disagree. But in the mean time, let us hold fast to the essentials."
God bless. 😊
