God rejected those who were jews by physical birth who were faithless in Him, see those lost in 40 years of the wilderness, but God saved and spared those who were really spiritual israel in the OT!

Hebrews 3 and 4 talks about those Jews who were disobedient to the Lord, who will not enter His eternal rest. This is spiritual

through duty. Why do you suppose we have the likes of Rick Warren, Joel Osteen, Rob Bell, etc, etc? Because the "Reformed" teaching that excluded the majority in their theology, drove these people away from the hard line, love lacking Churches that are thankfully on the decline.
We have them due to people wanting to hear theology that makes them feel"blessed", and not be concerned about taking up their Cross!

and the coldness from the Reformed camp! I know because I have seen this very often over the 35+ years that I have been a believer here in England, and read about it in the USA and elsewhere

Charles Spurgeon was accused of many thing, but being cold and unconcerned with lost sinners was not one of them!

Not hatred or hostility, but a realization that God intends to save some out, so we continue to preach/teach Christ!

Jesus died for all sinners, but God intended to only have saving grace effectually applied towards His elect in Christ!

so, Jesus Christ goes to the cross for the sins of the whole human race. But, all along God the Father only intended to save an "elect" from the human race. So, why not just die for them? Why say in His Word, that Jesus died for the entire human race, what exactly was this for then?

but you are preaching a false Gospel, because God only really intends to save a few, so to tell the whole world that God loves them, is a LIE!

Do you deny that If God intended to have all sinners saved, all would be getting saved?

It is God's desire to see all repent and are saved, but because He has in His Wisdom, made humans with a free will, as He did the angels, He has given this freedom to humans to accept or reject the Gospel Message for their salvation.
