Now you're just grasping at straws. The oath of innocence Job gives makes it so only God can bring a charge against him precisely because Job turns it around and says if God has something against me let Him bring the charge. Which is why Elihu is speaking out of place, because only God can bring a charge and by speaking Elihu is continuing the charge against Job putting himself in God's place.

I may write one up when I am a little more in my wits to see if there is interest, as I think it's pretty important what mistaking Elihu's position does to the character of God in the process. Job really is a deep book to learn about God but because its characteristic viewpoint of humans struggling for answers sifting through it can be a dredge.

God sent his only begotten Son so that whosoever believes in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life. This is the whole world and all men. As one man brought death upon all men…one also brought the gift of life unto all men who will believe and accept it. Jesus destroyed the bondage of death and whosoever shall call upon him shall be saved. There is no respect of persons.
God wants all men to be saved. It is not his will that any should perish but that all should come to repentance. He opened this up to all, and whosoever will believe and accept it shall be saved. If they don't they wont be saved and they will have no excuse.
The gospel is pretty straight forward and simple, if you ask me. No need to complicate it.
Whosoever will let him come and take of the water of life freely.

Correct. Therefore we need to understand that every perversion of the Gospel is ultimately from Satan, who uses men with warped theologies to produce "another gospel". See Galatians 1.
The true and full Gospel of Christ has been under attack ever since Christ came to earth. And it continues to be under attack within Christendom, let alone by other religions. TULIP is one manifestation. Then we have the Catholic Mass, which denies and undermines the finished work of Christ. Then we have those teaching baptismal regeneration or baptism as being necessary for salvation.

Let us look at what God states.....
For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.
God so loved > who is Love and did the greatest act of love for
The world > all the people that inhabit His beloved Creation
That He gave> the ultimate act of love
His only begotten son> God’s greatest gift of love
That whosoever > the great invitation to all
Believes > God’s simplicity, so that all man can respond and God displays His truth by His creation to all, although not everyone will respond and will suppress the truth of God because of sin and that is by their choice
In Him> the Name above all Names, Jesus
Would not perish > complete redemption for those who believe
But Have > complete security in Him
Everlasting Life > the greatest gift
Yes all originates from the love God and no one disputes this.
