So you're flat out ignoring every Scripture that is saying the opposite to what you just said. Got it.
Nope, Im teaching the Truth, its a false teaching to tell people that God loves all mankind and Christ died for all mankind, God Loved and Christ died only for a elect people from amongst mankind. Likewise the Holy Spirit only regenerates that same elect people that God elected in Christ, and Christ exclusively died for.

2 Peter 3:9 KJV
The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
1 know what that verse says, but again you are deceived, and Im afraid I cannot undeceive you.

How could anyone preach the gospel to others knowing that you may be lying? Is this of God?

1 John 2:2 KJV
And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world.

How could a christian preach anything different to this?
And take away any ounce of hope from a sinner who is looking for hope.

Sorry, the Scriptures say different. So your answer isn't sound.

I know what Rom 11 is about. Salvation is by Grace election regardless of ethnicity, do you deny that ? Or do you believe in Salvation by Grace due to ones ethnicity, a fleshly bases ?
You said it was talking about Gentiles as a remnant, it isn't, it's talking about the Jews. In those verses it's talking about the Jewish remnant. Period.

It's utterly stunning to me. I want and pray for all my family and friends to be saved. I see people struggling, lost, in need of a Savior, I'm going to tell them about the One who can save them if they only believe. They talk about the blood and how it's sufficient but only for a few. God is not limited, His reach is not shortened and He is a loving, saving God. He is the hope of the World. How do I know this, because His Word tells me so.

You dont make sense. Read in the Book of Acts, where do you read in any of their sermons, their preaching, that God loved everybody and Christ died for everyone. Nobody preached those lies

I love the verse,

“For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior, who desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth” (1 Timothy 2:3-4, NKJV).

God loves all humanity and desires everyone to have a relationship with him and accept the gift of forgiveness, grace, and eternal life in His kingdom.

We also have free will to reject God and the gifts He offers. Unfortunately, there are unrepentant people who have no desire to live God's way of life. They have made that choice themselves, and it appears that there is nothing that will change their mind.

It's that proud mindset originated by Satan who would rather reign and live in hell rather than repent, accept Jesus as their Lord and Savior, and enjoy eternal peace in heaven. Hard to understand, but I know some people, sadly, who appear to have willfully made this choice.

I know why you dont understand the truth, but thats not my mission to talk about you.

No he understands the truth, as any child at reading grade level could. Jesus came to save everyone. They teach it in Sunday school. Imagine singing " Yes, Jesus Love me... but not you!" smh Adding to the truth of the Word. You are dead wrong.

You think the scriptures support you, but they dont, you are deceived, may God be pleased to deliver you !

Been involved in outreach and evangelism ministry for years and I can assure you I am not deceived and I don't need deliverance from a man made belief.

We need to simply walk away from those who are willfully blind.

Yeah, I know. You think everyone who does not believe in Calvinism is deceived by the devil, unsaved. You have even called us antichrists. The thing is, we believe the words we can plainly read in the Bible. Calvinists insist those words do not mean what they say.
