Hello psalms109:31,
2 Chronicles 16:9
For the eyes of the LORD range throughout the earth to strengthen those whose hearts are fully committed to him. You have done a foolish thing, and from now on you will be at war."

Please tell me why you posted this verse.
We know who the elect are, it is believers who knew who they were before even the foundation.
2 Thessalonians 2:13
But we are bound to give thanks alway to God for you, brethren beloved of the Lord, because God hath from the beginning chosen you
to salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth
The reason we cannot come to your conclusion, is we know that God wants all men to be saved and come to the knowledge of the truth.
21Hath not the potter
power over the clay, of the same lump to
make one vessel unto honour, and
another unto dishonour?
22
What if God, willing to shew his
wrath, and to make his
power known, endured with much longsuffering the vessels of wrath
fitted to destruction:
23And that he might make known the riches of his glory on the vessels of mercy, which he had afore prepared unto glory,

14And I looked, and behold a white cloud, and upon the cloud one sat like unto the
Son of man, having on his head a golden crown, and in his hand
a sharp sickle.
15And another angel came out of the temple, crying with a loud voice to him that sat on the cloud,
Thrust in thy sickle, and reap: for the time is come for thee to
reap; for the
harvest of the earth is ripe.
16And he (<<< Christ )that sat on the cloud
thrust in his sickle on the earth; and the
earth was reaped.
17And another angel came out of the temple which is in heaven, he also having a
sharp sickle.
18And another angel came out from the altar, which had power over fire; and cried with a loud cry to him that had the
sharp sickle, saying,
Thrust in thy sharp sickle, and
gather the clusters of the vine of the earth; for her
grapes are fully ripe.
19And the angel
thrust in his sickle into the earth, and
gathered the vine of the
earth, and cast it into the
great winepress of the wrath of God.
20And the
winepress was trodden without the city, and
blood came out of the
winepress, even unto the
horse bridles, by the space of a thousand and six hundred furlongs.

13And
Cain said unto the LORD, My punishment is greater than I can bear.
14Behold,
thou hast driven me out this day from the face of the earth;
and from thy face shall I be hid; and I shall be a fugitive and a vagabond in the earth; and it shall come to pass, that every one that findeth me shall slay me.

Matthew 11:25
At that time Jesus answered and said,
I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because thou hast
hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes.
If God elected us to believe then all would believe and be saved.
Isaiah 43:10
Ye are my witnesses, saith the LORD, and my servant whom
I have chosen:
that ye may know and believe me, and understand that I am he: before me there was no God formed, neither shall there be after me
We are not universalist, so we know we are saved by grace though Faith.
Isaiah 43:10
Ye are my witnesses, saith the LORD, and my servant whom
I have chosen:
that ye may know and believe me, and understand that I am he: before me there was no God formed, neither shall there be after me
God wants all men to be saved, but only those who believe will be saved.
Isaiah 43:10
Ye are my witnesses, saith the LORD, and my servant whom
I have chosen: [B
]that ye may know and believe me, and understand that I am he[/B]: before me there was no God formed, neither shall there be after me
Our faith is given to us through His word, but it is still our choice to accept it or not.
John 8...
21Then said Jesus again unto them, I go my way,
and ye shall seek me, and shall die in your sins: whither I go,
ye cannot come
24I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for
if ye believe not that I am he, ye shall die in your sins
42Jesus said unto them, If God were your Father, ye would love me: for I proceeded forth and came from God; neither came I of myself, but he sent me.
43
Why do ye not understand my speech? even because ye cannot
hear my word.
47He that is of God heareth God's words: ye therefore
hear them not, because
ye are not of God.
I didn't make the rules, God did.
Indeed..
21Hath not the potter
power over the clay, of the same lump to
make one vessel unto honour, and
another unto dishonour?
Whosoever believes shall be saved and whosoever does no will be condemned.
18He that believeth on him is not condemned: but
he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
19
And this is the condemnation, that light
is come into the world, and
men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.
20For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither
cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.
God has placed before us life and death, that was not our choice to do that, but God's.
10As it is written,
There is none righteous, no, not one:
11There is
none that understandeth, there is
none that seeketh after God.
12They are
all gone out of the way, they are
together become unprofitable; there is
none that doeth good, no, not one.
13Their throat is an open sepulchre; with their tongues they have used deceit; the poison of asps is under their lips:
14Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness:
15Their feet are swift to shed blood:
16Destruction and misery are in their ways:
17And the way of peace have they
not known:
18There is
no fear of God before their eyes.
We are the messenger of the Good News.
45It is written in the prophets, And they shall be all taught of God.
Every man therefore that hath heard, and hath learned of the Father, cometh unto me.
43
Why do ye not understand my speech? even because ye cannot
hear my word.
47He that is of God heareth God's words: ye therefore
hear them not, because
ye are not of God.
