Reader,

""Man"" = chooses that which appeals to him or her.

Jesus said....."if you being EVIL can give GOOD Gifts to your Children"..

So, even an EVIL can do a GOOD....... unless Jesus is Lying, and Calvinist's and Tulip-Heads seem to think He must be One of those.

So, when we speak about "spiritual" or "religion" or "divine".. then that is exactly what a Satanist or a Pagan, is following, by FAITH.

Witches, Warlocks, and similar............ who practice paganism, are very spiritual, and are pursuing this, as their spirituality.., as their FAITH.

What is that? Its misplaced Faith.. that God can't accept.

So, its not a question of.... "will someone pursue" the Divine.......and its not about someone being able to pursue it or not.. by Faith.

That is not the problem, so Calvinism has not correctly defined the issue... as John the Devil Calvin, didnt understand that the issue isn't a FAITH issue, or a "depravity issue"..... nor is it a lack of the ability to pursue spirituality... by FAITH.

He was a good writer of theology, that is some of the best that The Devil has ever produced, and once it evolves into Hyper-Calvinsim,....then its Sold Gold SATANISM.

Reader,
The issue is, that the person who has faith, (as all have faith..).. if they decided to choose to become spiritual, ... they can't find the Truth to pursue that leads to CORRECT RIGHTEOUSNESS Spirituality, because : """the god of this world has blinded their minds, as otherwise the Light of the Gospel of Jesus The Christ would Shine into them"... as Paul teaches.

So, UNBELIEVERS, dont have a faith issue, they have a blinded mind issue... and what Preaching the Gospel does, *The Preaching of THE CROSS">.... is.. it allows the Holy Spirit to illuminate the Truth for them to choose., and before this they could not see the Truth, to believe in it.

Reader...
the Literal TRUTH< regarding Who Jesus is and Why Jesus died on THE Cross, is a REVELATION that is given to the Heart of the hearer.... by the Holy Spirit, only.

The Holy Spirit causes an unbeliever, to SEE "Jesus" Truth... = who is Jesus, and they see this as.. ."im a sinner, i need to be saved, and Jesus is the only SAVIOR". Which leads them to take their FAITH and give it to GOD = as Faith IN Christ.
God takes that faith every time, = instantly and FOREVER.

See that Gospel?
Unbelievers can't SEE IT, unless the Holy Spirit reveals it... and once He does, then Paul teaches that they have "come to the knowledge OF.... THE... Truth"....who is Jesus... John 14:6.

And now that they have SEEN THE TRUTH....., will they take THEIR Faith, that all have.....and place it in Christ or NOT... ??

And if NOT< then they die a willing Christ Rejector...which is the "unpardonable sin".... and if they DO place THEIR Faith in Jesus, then..

= THEIR.... "faith is counted by God, as (Christ's) Righteousness"..

There is a vast difference between doing good and doing good that honours God.
Main atheists and none.ievers etc are very moral people, giving to charities etc etc etc,

But

While spirituality lived and believed in before Jesus came is one thing, that same spirituality is not treated the same way by God since Jesus came.
