Do you know why Jesus spoke in parables when he was teaching? So that those who didn't have a mind to understand could not be saved. (Mat. 13:15)

Now, can you see what I mean by contradictions of the NT? Embarrassing, don't you think so?

....whoever believes in Jesus should not perish...'
So anyone can be saved from perishing that believes as Jesus believes in upholding God's sovereignty while keeping integrity to God as Jesus kept faithful.
The 'anyone' is not the unrepentant sinner. -Hebrews 10v26
Otherwise there would be no need to repent. -2nd Peter 3v9.
Did you notice the stipulation at John 3v16? 'anyone who believes'
No everyone believes. That is why Matthew 20v28 says Jesus ransom covers 'many' and not 'all'.
All have the opportunity today [Matt 24v14] but not all want to hear about the good news of God's kingdom in the hands of Christ's Jesus.

Sure: just answer, did you make up your response (in 202) or draw it from a resource of some sort?

From Matthew 13:15. Kind of a paraphrase of the text. Why? What's so alluring about it?
