Quote:25 Moreover I gave them statutes that were not good and ordinances by which they could not have life; 26 and I defiled them through their very gifts in making them offer by fire all their first-born, that I might horrify them; I did it that they might know that I am the LORD.
And again, all those other verses you quoted do not prove anything. I don't assume that all of the Bible's parts is suppose to be in harmony with each other. I don't assume that God must be consistent. All you're doing is just showing contradictions in the Bible.
Like I said, it's the blind leading the blind, careful there are holes to fall in, as if you haven't already.
God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
