    We have what He said, no need to say He did not say it! He said the people were entering heaven. He did not say they might have entered heaven if. He does address the Calvinist view of election, for only the elect receive God's irresistible grace, enabling them to enter heaven. Thus, according to the doctrine, they had received irresistible grace. Yet they did not enter heaven. Thus "irresistible grace" is false doctrine. There is no escape, you can only pretend it says something else.

    In summary, Matthew 23:13 demonstrates to anyone who looks at scripture with an open mind, that irresistible grace is false.

    So, you say God is inferior to man! Great theology; great teaching! That puny man can tell God what to do.

    Cheers,
