So you'd rather see a failure of conversion than see earth's entire population praising Jesus?
That is just awful.
I don't see he was saying that at all but rather just stating what the Bible says. I expect AV and I KNOW God is not willing that any persish but it's not up to them. God has done as much as He can do for mankind to be "converted." It's up to us/them to accept or reject at this point and the Bible gives us a summary of what the results will be.
Mat 7:13 Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and
many there be which go in thereat:
Mat 7:14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and
few there be that find it.
Mat 24:12 And because iniquity SHALL ABOUND
the love of many shall wax cold.
Mat 24:13 But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.
1Ti 4:1 The Spirit says clearly that
some people will abandon the faith in later times; they will obey lying spirits and follow the teachings of demons.
1Ti 4:2 Such teachings are spread by deceitful liars, whose consciences are dead, as if burnt with a hot iron.
No one WANTS this to happen but it will happen. Our safety is to draw near to the Lord.
1Pe 1:13 Wherefore
gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and hope to the end for the grace that is to be brought unto you at the revelation of Jesus Christ;
1Th 5:4 But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief.
1Th 5:5 Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness.
1Th 5:6 Therefore
let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober.
1Th 5:7 For they that sleep sleep in the night; and they that be drunken are drunken in the night.
1Th 5:8
But let us, who are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love; and for an helmet, the hope of salvation.
1Th 5:9 For
God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ,
1Th 5:10 Who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with him.
1Th 5:11 Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as also ye do.
Pro 4:13
Take fast hold of instruction; let her not go: keep her; for she is thy life.
Pro 4:14
Enter not into the path of the wicked, and go not in the way of evil men.
Pro 4:15
Avoid it, pass not by it, turn from it, and pass away.
Pro 4:16 For they sleep not, except they have done mischief; and their sleep is taken away, unless they cause some to fall.
Pro 4:17 For they eat the bread of wickedness, and drink the wine of violence.
Pro 4:18 But the path of the just is as the shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day.
Pro 4:19 The way of the wicked is as darkness:
they know not at what they stumble.
