Does The Bible Teach Unconditional Election, Or Does God Want ALL Men To Be Saved?
God's desire is for all to be saved, implying that all have the opportunity to be saved, which shows the particular (by name) forced unconditional predestination/election theory is false.II Peter 3:9: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.I Timothy 2:4: Who (God) will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.Who is the “all” in I Timothy 2:1-6?• verse 1 – Should we pray for "all men" or just the elect?• verse 2 - If "all men" of verse 1 is just "all the elect," then that would mean all rulers without exception ("kings, and ... all that are in authority"), including Hitler, are of the saved/elect.Since God wants all men to be saved, but all men will not be (Matt 25:46), it necessarily follows that salvation is conditioned upon what a man does. Meaning, men choose to be, or not to be of the elect.
