Either there is something GOOD to save there or NOT.
If you are evil then you are like murder and rape.
God does not save murder and rape.

So, God's not powerful enough to reveal Himself to be true? Our flesh is more powerful than God?

Notice no comment by 1689Dave on Ezekiel 36 being a direct prophecy to the nation of Israel.

You are mixing spiritually dead with physically dead.
You also fail to take Scripture as a whole to produce a consistent hermeneutic.
Jesus clearly states that none cab come unless the Father draws them.
The Old Testament reinforces this, this the reason the writer of Romans referred to it (
Romans 3:10-12 ) Therevare none righteous, no not one...none seek after God.

The FATHER does not draw.
That job got passed on.
John 12
32 “And I, if I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all men to Myself.”
ALL men.

And the ones who are saved out will be the ones the father give unto Him!

C'mon Jon. Surely you know the Calvinist does not believe the Gospel is powerful enough to break through to unbelievers. Romans 1:16 , Romans 1:21-22 , 1 Cor 15:1-2, Psalm 19:1-4,etc. don't really mean what they say.

First if everyone refuses to hear the gospel,
ZERO are saved.
NUMBER 1.
A person must CHOOSE while he is not regenerated to LISTEN to the gospel.
Only AFTER hearing the Gospel,
can then God regenerate, ignite and grant the GNOSTIC powers of Enlightenment.
And then the GNOSTICS can understand the Gospel

God regenerates His own in order that they hear and respond to the Gospel!

So, God is not able to reveal Himself to us? If God can make rocks cry out in Praise, I'm pretty Confident He can reveal Himself To us.

As the Gnostics say all are inherently evil.
Its only after the mystical experience in which God has enlightened and regenerated you that you have the secret Gnostic understanding of the Gospel.

He’s not avering what you’re accusing him of. The very moment someone has faith, they are regenerated and are made righteous.

He can, as he reveals Himself as the almighty Creator to all, but He reveals Himself as the saving God of grace to His own!
