I'm not going play your game of feigned ignorance. You are definitely well enough versed in the bible scripture to know what I'm talking about even if you don't agree with it or if you have various apologies for it.
Why don't you try to be straightforward and honest for a while?
I ask question because that is how I want you to approach something I have said if you do not completely understand.
You said not worthy. My question is an honest one. My faith tells me to assume 'not worthy of eternal life.' If this is the case then I would also assume you would know God's declaration or prerequisites for eternal life are his own. That would be like inviting people to a formal wedding or a black tie event. If your invited to a black tie event and you get an invite that clearly states 'formal dress required.' Will you show up in a tee shirt and cargo shorts? Can you seriously expect to be let in if you were told you needed a tux? Of course not, why? Because the people who put on this formal wedding or event went to the expense of providing an formal atmosphere, and wanted to preserve it by requiring all who attend to be dressed to match.
We are not born wearing the tuxes needed to attend the party God is throwing, but He will give you one if you simply a/s/k for it.
