Brother,

Please let me know Scripturally why all men apart from God's working are unwilling to understand, seek or turn to God. You describe correctly the problem without convincing of the cause.

The cause is hard heartedness.

Further, if you believe all men, apart from the work of the Spirit, have a will in them to turn to God, then you have a great burden in explaining the necessity of being born again, being a new creature, or haviing a quickening of a spirit within you.

What is the burden?
Why wouldn't one need "being born again, being a new creature, or haviing a quickening of a spirit within you" since one has a will in them to turn to God?

How would being able to choose to turn to God cancel the need of those?

What is the meaning of this supernatural event if men are able to turn themselves to God?

What is the "supernatural event" that you are talking about?

Don't you think it meaningful that in John 3:1 and following, Christ explains to Nicodemas that he must be born again to see ( that is to know ) the kingdom of God and then, He explains the Gospel to Nicodemas in John 3:16?

How is choosing Christ voiding all this?
Born again(being saved) is the only way to see the kingdom of God, however, one needs to choose to be saved(born again) in order to see.

Men love darkness rather than light. We are unable to come to the knowledge of realizing that we need a savior.

How did you, who once lived in darkness, come into the light?

In Christ

This is according to Scripture...

It is the Holy Spirit which dwells amongst men who calls out to all who live in darkness to repent and turn from wickedness.

Prov. 8:1 Does not wisdom cry out,
And understanding lift up her voice?
2 She takes her stand on the top of the high hill,
Beside the way, where the paths meet.
3 She cries out by the gates, at the entry of the city,
At the entrance of the doors:
4 To you, O men, I call,
And my voice is to the sons of men.
5 O you simple ones, understand prudence,
And you fools, be of an understanding heart.
6 Listen, for I will speak of excellent things,
And from the opening of my lips will come right things;
7 For my mouth will speak truth;
Wickedness is an abomination to my lips.
8 All the words of my mouth are with righteousness;
Nothing crooked or perverse is in them.
9 They are all plain to him who understands,
And right to those who find knowledge.
10 Receive my instruction, and not silver,
And knowledge rather than choice gold;
11 For wisdom is better than rubies,
And all the things one may desire cannot be compared with her.
12 I, wisdom, dwell with prudence,
And find out knowledge and discretion.
13 The fear of the LORD is to hate evil;
Pride and arrogance and the evil way
And the perverse mouth I hate.
14 Counsel is mine, and sound wisdom;
I am understanding, I have strength.

In Christ
Jeff
