Some people love sin more than God. Satan and 1/3 of the Angels did also.
Not true, some chose to serve God over sin, else they would be no such thing as a Christian. All men were born sinners, save Jesus. TRUE.ALL people, since the days of our first parents, in fact, have clearly demonstrated that they love sin more than they love God (i.e. Romans 3:10-12). Hey, at least the angels are batting in the high 600's
Of course, none of this answers the questions I posed
3 And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads.
4 And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born.
Not true, some chose to serve God over sin, else there would be no such thing as a Christian. All men were born sinners, save Jesus. TRUE.
Just like some Demons who knew the fullness of God, chose to Rebel. Some men are deceived just like the Angels were. Each man has in himself the right to chose his own path, some chose Satan over God in real terms, some hate God and don't believe in Satan, some love sin and don't want to hear about the need for a Redeemer.I couldn't agree more RT, the question is, WHY Why would ANYONE, of even the most intelligence/understanding, and who is just barely reasonable/rational, who knows what you and I knew when we became Christians, EVER choose the Kool-Aid over the "living water" the Lord offers to those who are His? The next question is, why do MOST (who you believe as capable of becoming a Christian as you were) willingly march to their own eternal destruction in Hell?
Unless there is something truly different about the saint and the reprobate(?) .. but you say there is not!!
Yours and His,

"You do not believe because you
are not of My sheep"
John 10:26
These Epistles of Paul were never intended by Paul to be Canonized as Scriptures.
The Epistles. The First Five Books of the Bible were given to Moses, the Prophets who said THUS SAITH THE LORD wrote most of the rest, save for the Psalms (songs unto God) and Proverbs. The Gospels were 4 accounts of Jesus' life. The Epistles were letters unto peoples, its just a fact. The Revelation is a revealing of the future by Jesus unto us.Simple question, other than the need for the Pentateuch, a need for the Laws and Covenants, what other parts written by the Prophets and Apostles were "intended" to be canonized?

Since when is writing a Letter the same as saying "Thus Saith the Lord" by a prophet ? For one thing, you have foreknowledge that you are representing God in your written word 100 percent. In a letter, everything is not about "thus saith the Lord" some things are of Paul, some things will be his own belief on certain things or it might be him being gentile with one of their "bad beliefs". Many things will not be covered FULLY in a Letter, because the peoples might already have a previous understanding of what they are speaking about and give the matters at hand a wink and a nod, and this might confuse other readers.Perhaps I have a different view of scripture than you do.
Seems to me that if the Prophets are given leeway because they said "Thus saith the Lord", was this not the same thing the Apostles did in the New Testament?

God could not create some men for hell, and be a just God, you know that deep down brother.
No. YHWH said CHOOSE TODAY; Y'SHUA said CHOOSE TODAY (TURN TO YHWH for the KINGDOM IS AT HAND).those of us who are going to Heaven chose the very same path as those who are going to Hell, but in the case of the Elect, God intervened
COOL! Even MORE and BETTER in the NEW TESTAMENT than "Thus saith the Lord".....Perhaps I have a different view of scripture than you do.

No. YHWH said CHOOSE TODAY; Y'SHUA said CHOOSE TODAY (TURN TO YHWH for the KINGDOM IS AT HAND). The elect CHOSE to FOLLOW Y'SHUA. They do not chose the same path at all as those unrepentant. And who ever said YHWH interfered with the free will choices of some ? (and not others the same way) ? That's not like HIM nor HIS WORD, is it now ?
10 as it is written,
“THERE IS NONE RIGHTEOUS, NOT EVEN ONE;
11 THERE IS NONE WHO UNDERSTANDS,
THERE IS NONE WHO SEEKS FOR GOD;
12 ALL HAVE TURNED ASIDE, TOGETHER THEY HAVE BECOME USELESS;
THERE IS NONE WHO DOES GOOD,
THERE IS NOT EVEN ONE.” ~Romans 3
"As many as had been appointed to eternal life believed" ~Acts 13:48
