I don't believe you really want to know, since you have ignored the POWER of the Gospel (posted earlier). You would sooner cling to your Calvinistic nonsense than believe what God has said about the Gospel.
It is now axiomatic that once a person grabs hold of a false teaching, he will never let it go. Instead he will double down and triple down on his heresy. And that is why Paul said that after the first and second admonition, a heretic should simply be rejected (Tit 3:10)

The point I'm making is that words have specific meanings in specific contexts and when it comes to talking about what God does and doesn't do it is absolutely essential that we interpret the words He used in the manner in which He intended...lest we misrepresent Him and possibly mislead others.
So, to get to the bottom line. You made a certain statement which you believe to be true. I quite legitimately ask you to substantiate your opinion of how to interpret the words: "God wills that all will be saved."
But you haven't done so despite several exchanges. And now you resort to the above escape route to get out of offering a Scriptural-based reference to support your view.
IF you really truly don't think that debate is worthwhile then just what on earth are you doing posting your opinions which you presumably want others to accept?

I made my point in post #783 which proves God wants to save everyone but not all will be saved. The exchanges that have taken place thereafter have been me trying to get you to actually accept what it says. You’re not doing that and it isn’t a problem for me.
Since then, you’ve resorted to not accepting universally agreed about definitions of words. You’re splitting hairs to avoid the undeniable reality that God doesn’t force people to be saved because He requires their choice to have faith.
There is not escape route being used. I’m not trapped nor do I need to prove anything else since you clearly reject what I showed you as ample proof. I’m not one to beat the dead horse so to speak. You clearly have a different perspective that you have yet to prove using scripture. I’m willing to leave it at that.

Romans 9: 11-13 (For the children being not yet born, neither having done any good or evil, that the purpose of God according to election might stand, not of works, but of him that calleth), It was said unto her, The elder shall serve the younger. As it is written, Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated.
