Appointed To Eternal Life?

:rolleyes: Psalm 115:3. 'But our God is in heaven; He does whatever pleases Him.
If God desires every single person in the world whoever lived to be saved, that is what would happen. That you continue to miss this is quite surprising. It seems to be more that you do not want to accept it than that you do not see it. Ignoring the truth does not make it go away Silverhair. Although you do seem to be quite adept at doing just that.

You are quite adept at ignoring clear text that does not fit your theology. But I have come to expect that from some of a particular theological persuasion.

I do agree that God does as He pleases and His desire is that all should be saved {John 3:17} but as we see in scripture He will not force anyone to be saved. {John 3:18}

But He has provided the way for people to be saved, faith in Him. {John 3:14-16}

Those that hear and believe will be saved {Ephesians 1:13 & Romans 10:9-10}

God does not force anyone to act against his or her will, but He changes it so that His people come to Him freely, Psalm 110:3 Acts 16:14. He takes away the hard, stony heart and replaces it with a malleable heart of flesh, Ezekiel 36:26. He gives new life to those dead in trespasses and sins, Ezekiel 37:9; Eph. 2:1-10. All these are acts of pure monergism; 'For it is God who works in you to do and to will of His good pleasure' (Phil. 2:13).
