My apologies, I posted a response to a wrong thread.Sure, WHY would God, through Peter state that He is not willing for those, who CANNOT be lost, not to be lost, but waits patiently for these who cannot be lost, to repent? This is nonsense!

ok...lets look at it...Here is a very good example:
You will not come to me is the condition of all natural men since the fall...they cannot come, they will not come...."You search the Scriptures because you think that in them you have eternal life; and it is they that bear witness about Me, yet you are not willing to come to Me that you may have life." (John 5:39-40)
,The Greek is that they "are not willing"
of course not....mans will...is bound by sin...not that "they could not will" because of some external force like their will being "bound" by God!
Man hate the true God...Who was Jesus here speaking to? the Jews that wanted to murder Him,
This was why the Jews were seeking all the more to kill him" (verse 18). To these same Jews Jesus says, "I say these things so that YOU may be saved" (verse 33)! Clearly Jesus tells these Jews who were persecuting Him (verse 16), and wanted to MURDER Him, that He WANTED THEM SAVED! These are the words of God Incarnate, not some theologian with some warped doctrine! Deal with this.
I will defend most all of what he wrote...the disputes are minor in nature...Interesting that his book on the Sovereignty of God has two editions, one by Banner of Truth in the UK, and the other printed in the USA. If I remember correctly, one of the editions was modified because it was found to be over-the-top on Predestination... Says a lot about Calvinism!
Yes.Is this better?:
but will be efficient only for those who believe.
Nope. Study it a little more. And note that Luke often groups his writing by topic rather than by chronology.John does not have the Lord's Supper recorded, only the Passover meal. Luke clearly states that Judas was still present when Jesus spoke the words concerning His Death. A fact that John Gill and Matthew Henry admit to!
I am a Calvinist by free will, and I thank God that He made me willing.Yes! Yes! I thank God that he predestined me to be a non-Cal!

Inconsistent with your own teaching.I am a Calvinist by free will, and I thank God that He made me willing.
I don't think you'll find it is.Inconsistent with your own teaching.
Banner of Truth's Censorship of Pink is discussed here:Interesting that his book on the Sovereignty of God has two editions, one by Banner of Truth in the UK, and the other printed in the USA.

You may want to study the Last Supper again. Notice the sequence of events. After being given the sop, which identified him as the traitor, Judas IMMEDIATELY goes out from them and goes to the chief priests. (John 13:30). He was not there when Jesus said those words.
I am fine with his orignal...maybe they were trying to to offend delicate persons like yourself...Banner of Truth's Censorship of Pink is discussed here:
The Banner Muzzles A.W. Pink (found partway down the page)
"In the preface to this edition, the publishers note that 'the contemporary value of the book could be increased by certain minor revisions and abridgements.' What were these 'minor' changes? THREE CHAPTERS and ALL FOUR APPENDICES were gone!...The Banner of Truth Trust whisked away 44% of the sections of Pink’s book....The chapters were: 'The Sovereignty of God and Reprobation,' 'God’s Sovereignty and Human Responsibility,' and 'Difficulties and Objections.' The appendices deal with the false distinction between decretive and permissive will, the foreordaining of the Fall, and treatments of John 3:16 and 1 John 2:2 to show that there is not a universal love or propitiation."
