Is Jesus God? Yes.
Therefore, God always comes looking for us sinners.
You don't have to believe it though.

Everyone is, was, a sinner.
God searches all hearts and minds.
That doesn't mean we do not have to seek God. I posted the scriptures, which you don't believe.

You, yourself, have confessed that you do not obey ALL of Jesus' commandments exactly as you so vociferously say you do. You can boast that BEFORE you EVER knew about God you OBEYED and you got saved. And you, yourself, gt, have confessed that you have done no such thing.
You, gt, keep on working to provide your own salvation.
Lord, Lord, it's me, gt, look at all my obedience. Can't you see how much I, me, and myself obey you, Lord? But when people ask me about my obedience I have to confess 'nah, I'm not all that obedience as I profess.'
If it fits you, wear it.
Jesus left only two words for His followers to obey.
Did you hear that, gt, His followers, not people that have never heard about Him and have no idea who He is. Get a grip, gt.

I'm sorry but say that doesn't make you right. His words: "Whosoever will let him come unto Me". He twists no one's arm or heart to persuade.

You flatter yourself too much. gt.
Sinners nevertheless.
By the presence of the Holy Spirit.
ON YOUR OWN you couldn't obey if your life depended on it.
You, gt, can BOAST all you want that you obey, however, you, yourself, have confessed that you do not obey.

Well, you've learned something.
Agreed.
No one seek God TO BE SAVED or otherwise. (Romans 3:11)
I believe the Scriptures in its ORIGINAL PERFECT CONTEXT.
You simply plop verses around that fits your doctrine.

Who said anything about Him twisting any one's arm or heart?
God came looking for us. That simple.
Every time the Gospel of salvation is preached God is coming looking for us.
When He finds us and accepts us as His, then we always want to go to Him because now we belong to Him.

No and don't make more of what I wrote than what is there. Show me where Jesus went "looking" for sinners as I asked. Problem is you can't. Jesus said: "as God has sent me, so I am sending you}. WE are directed only to preach his word and love one another as He loved us that by this method will the world come see to know about Him and those who will be saved will be persuaded because of that message.. That's it. No big tents crusades to impress unto salvation necessary. WE don't and can't save anyone and only about 20% of Billy Graham's preaching produced the desired results.

Hi and we have to remember that no matter who the preacher is 2 Cor 3:6 says that Paul PLANTED and APOLLOS WATERED but God is causing the GROWTH !!

I never said any such thing.
Jesus says he saves those on the side of truth, those who fear God and those who do what is right. Do you want the scriptures?
What? Get a hold of yourself.
The works are God's works. They are light.
You can obey too.
Two words?
There are still people who do what is right and they are the ones who when they hear about Jesus believe.
You are off-base on your "saved sinner" assertion.
Or as someone (who I very often find I share the exact same understanding with on many things), has put that.

And if they don't hear about Him they, on that day, will be judged by their deeds.
So we can safely assume that the reason for them hearing about Jesus is to make disciples of them?

Those who are given much, much more is demanded of them.
Luke 13:48 But the one who does not know and does things deserving punishment will be beaten with few blows. From everyone who has been given much, much will be demanded; and from the one who has been entrusted with much, much more will be asked.
John 18:37 "You are a king, then!" said Pilate. Jesus answered, "You say that I am a king. In fact, the reason I was born and came into the world is to testify to the truth. Everyone on the side of truth listens to me."
John 3:21 But whoever lives by the truth comes into the light, so that it may be seen plainly that what they have done has been done in the sight of God.
