Is it that disbelievers are to be damned for disbelieving or do disbelievers disbelieve because they are damned?

Disbelievers damn themselves (here and now). Predestination would suggest God already knows for sure. In the end, all are drawn to him. So none are damned eternally (an abused translation).

I don't mean they are pre-destined to be damned. I mean in the sense, they are in a damned state.

Until one sees that they are in a lost condition because of sin and then becomes a believer are here and now damned.
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.

But what is the reasons they don't see themselves as in a lost condition because of sin and then become believers?

If you are unaware of something, becoming aware makes you see the limitation of your unaware state.

Could you specify which God exactly? Just so we're all certain about who you're talking about here.

People are called by God (invited) to see His truth, some listen some do not, took me awhile before I saw my condition. One has to realize that you must give up what you desire to have what God offers. Once I realized God offered a peace that I could otherwise not have, that's when I realized what I desired could not compare.

Like I said before my past probably makes you look like an angel. Even though I was a bad boy and my past might make your life look good, it want help you with God.

Oh wow it's you again. Once more with the reading skills. Take a look at the thread title, and the OP and the bit that I quoted for a clue Wink
