superstarr, what makes you believe that Matthew 17:19-20 and John 14:8-10 are positive verses. You are correct in saying they are literal.
Matthew 6:19-24 are teaching verses and are of a positive nature they are also literal.
Matthew 18:7-9 are also teaching verses but are not literal and yet are positive in nature.
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.
