Yes, as I don't post the same thing over and over.
We are told in the Bible that it is not possible to please God without having faith.
But without faith it is impossible to please and be satisfactory to Him. For whoever would come near to God must [necessarily] believe that God exists and that He is the rewarder of those who earnestly and diligently seek Him [out].
Hebrews 11:6
Having faith is a choice and that those without faith in what Jesus has done on the cross are in trouble when it comes to eternity.
18 He who believes in Him [who clings to, trusts in, relies on Him] is not judged [he who trusts in Him never comes up for judgment; for him there is no rejection, no condemnation—he incurs no damnation]; but he who does not believe (cleave to, rely on, trust in Him) is judged already [he has already been convicted and has already received his sentence] because he has not believed in and trusted in the name of the only begotten Son of God. [He is condemned for refusing to let his trust rest in Christ’s name.]
Knowing that the outcome of our eternal position is determined by our faith — or lack thereof — we can come to the conclusion rather quickly that election (being conformed to the image of Jesus) is conditional on the basis of OUR faith. Not on being a sheep.
It also implies that Christ was talking nonsense when He told us that sinners are enslaved to the addicting power of sin.
People of the kingdom?
People of the evil one?
Matt 13:36-39...
All does not mean all all the time.
All people as the text states

I can't tell
Sorry you are reading into scripture
If all must mean ALL of everyone then you are with me in accepting that when GOD is explaining the creation to Job in verse 38:7
while the morning stars sang together and ALL the sons of God shouted for joy? Berean Standard Bible that we were there and saw the proof of HIS divinity and eternal power Rom 1:20, with our own eyes.
Iow, if all means only all then if you are a son of GOD you were there singing your heart out!!! I think I was...

Actually out of the scripture, interpret Scripture with scripture Jesus stated specifically who He was going to be lifted up for Jn 10
See post 908

Nope, when you read in something that is not stated, you are reading into it.
You don't know that you post the same thing over and over?
You do not interpret scripture by scripture.
You do, however, interpret scripture based upon assumptions of your theology.
Romans 1:20 (KJV 1900) — 20 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:If all must mean ALL of everyone then you are with me in accepting that when GOD is explaining the creation to Job in verse 38:7

Nothing about being there even in the berean study bible.
Romans 1:20 (BSB) — 20 For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood from His workmanship, so that men are without excuse.
PS. Humans were not there during all the creation.

No It's interpreting scripture with scripture. Jesus specified who He was going to die for in Jn 10 several paragraphs earlier, why would it Change?

I'm interpreting scripture with scripture. The all also is all the Father gives Him Jn 6 37 which is not all mankind without exception.
So, gonna ignore Job 38:7 altogether because it doesn't fit your preconceptions and theology??? Hmmm...
