Peace & Blessings to you,
My Christian Brothers & Sisters, I wanted to ask you do these two Scriptures contradict each other? The first is Mark 4:11-12 and the second is 2 Peter 3:9. Mark 4:11-12 (KJV) reads:
"(11)And he said unto them, Unto you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God: but unto them that are without, all these things are done in parables: (12)That seeing they may see, and not perceive; and hearing they may hear, and not understand; lest at any time they should be converted, and their sins should be forgiven them."
2 Peter 3:9 (KJV) says:
"The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance."
The first Scripture says that God purposely sets it so that some people can not turn from their sins, and the second says that He wants all to come to repentance.
So my beloved Sisters & Brothers, do these two Scriptures contradict each other?
