Led to Repentance?

Your argument doesn't change the meaning of the passages in question. Your interpretation does, however.

The scriptures are clear, but their message contradicts your assertion.

God wants ALL men to be saved, not all colors of men.

Jesus draws all men to himself, not just some men of every group.

Your method of reading the Bible is dangerous, as can be seen here:

"Curse God and die" Job 2:9
See? The Bible is commanding us to curse God and die!!

You are avoiding the issue.

Does Paul seem confused to you when he says that God wants all men to be saved?

Does Jesus mention any exceptions when he says that he will draw all men to himself?


If so, please point out what I am missing.

Being convicted of sin includes recognising one's sinful state - a necessary step to accepting the gift of salvation.

Man is first a spirit(saved or unsaved); ...

"If God is the Father of Spirits, then we His children are spirits. That means that our bodies are just containers of the spirit....
For we know that if our EARTHLY HOUSE of this tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building of God, an house not made with his hands, eternal in the heavens.

....so one cannot rule out influence by the Holy Spirit who convicts the world of sin. In fact scripture confirms it in ;[bless and do not curse]
Philippians 1:6
Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ:
John 16:8
And when he comes, he will convict the world concerning sin and righteousness and judgment:

Indeed those who accept
Christ not only are influenced
by the Holy Spirit but have Him as a gift.[bless and do not curse]
