Yup. That’s what those who proclaim the Gospel do—they offer leadership and let their listeners choose whether to follow.

So you can lead a gentile to glory, but you can’t make him drink?

However, the premise of the question isn’t true: One CAN be led to sin, and one CAN be led to glory. One can’t be FORCED to sin or glory, but one can certainly be led.

Only if you believe every form of desire is envy.

So they help people ‘want’?

They are cheerleaders of envy, then?

The Missionaries are there to help people want to be led to God

If one can not be led to sin, or led to glory, what would the purpose of the missionaries be, exactly?

In other words, “lead” is not the same as “force to follow.”

No. I’m saying that although one chooses to follow, the one he follows is still leading him. The fact that the follower is choosing to follow doesn’t mean the leader isn’t leading. Otherwise, the only kind of leadership would be complete coercion.

are you still not saying that one can still be led even if he doesn’t follow?

I am not saying that at all which is why I disagree with your comment.

If I put a collar on my dog when we had him and attempted to lead him and he did not want to go there is no way I would be able to force him to follow me
