I believe everyone who teaches that Christ died for everyone without exception, and that God loves and desires all without exception to be saved, they are deceived, and the only hope they have is that God will deliver them by His mercy. Only God can grant repentance to the acknowledging of the Truth 2 Tim 2:24-26
24 And the servant of the Lord must not strive; but be gentle unto all men, apt to teach, patient,
25 In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth;
26 And that they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, who are taken captive by him at his will.

The apostle Paul wrote this epistle to the young minister, Timothy, to help him teach his congregation(s) about Jesus and His teachings,
How can this be false teaching if it is from the inspired Word of God? Looks pretty straight-forward to me, and it reflects what I've learned about our loving Savior and how deeply he loves all humanity, not just a select few.

I know who Paul wrote to in Timothy. The lie however is that God desires the salvation of all mankind. Pauls preaching was for the sake of the elect, that they come to the truth and be saved 2 Tim 2:10
10 Therefore I endure all things for the elect's sakes, that they may also obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory.
