Does God Wish All People to Come to Repentance?

2 Peter 3:9 does not teach that God wishes every single person from Adam to the last human being on planet Earth to come to repentance. In actuality, according to Biblical context, God wishes all of His elect/chosen to come to repentance. Don't like this teaching? Who cares, you need to submit to the Word.

If going to heaven or hell is nothing that you can change, why worship God? Why go to church? Hey, why even call yourself a calvinst? Just go home, curse God, and watch tv until you die. If you are one of the chosen few, you get to go to heaven. Stop wasting your time serving God, if you can't go to heaven by your own deeds.

Do you believe in common grace to all people even the non-elect? Do you believe that God calls all to repent generally, but only the elect effectually? Does God have any concern or any degree of love for non-elect (despite whether they are predestined for hell)?

@Shteve77 "Again, if a man pulled one child out of a river and sat and watched the other one drown He could hardly pretend that He loved the second child..." True, but you need to take it one step further, both children were THROWN into the RIVER by the Calvinistic SOVEREIGN god, held face down underwater & drowned, THEN he would REGENERATE whomever He wanted. THIS is CALVINISM at its purest form.

@patriotsfan1379 Are you serious? That's your explaination of Eze33:11? Most of Israel (God's chosen people) that Ezekiel spoke these words to perished in their sins! Ezekiel told these people that God would rather that the wicked repent and live. Most of them didn't repent and they perished. If Calvinism is true then God is a liar because He actually would rather most of the wicked don't repent and do perish.

@patriotsfan1379... your lack of Biblical exegesis and hermeneutics is likewise ASTONISHING!! GODS Nature and Character are the same yesterday, today & forever, neither is He Partial in Judgement. Your system FAILED, your argument to making God a "partial god" FAILED. Your Prime Objective is to justify a god who manufactures defective people for DAMNATION in the womb BEFORE having done anything good or bad, sugarcoating it w/ words such as "love, Mercy" or "Justice". You're a BLIND GUIDE!

@apollos6640 the whole chapter he is only talkin to the jews for like today some were wicked he is not talking to anyone else only the jews you have taken every single verse out of context you are not christian of that now am sure for youhave no knowledge of scripture the bible says do not throw pearls to the pigs for they will only trample them this conversation it's over

@patriotsfan1379 <-- typical Calvinist, you have no original thought, you're just a Mouthpiece, a predictable, dumb sheep being led astray by bad shephards. You've been taken captive through philosophy and empty deception, according to the traditions of men, according to the elementary principles of the world, rather than according to Christ. Don't be of those who SEEK to enter, but will not be able-- & hear the scariest words I've ever read in the Scriptures, "Depart from me, I NEVER knew You!"

[apollos6640]

@patriotsfan1379 Are you REALLY reciting Ez 33? Your Blindness is ASTONISHING!!! You are a glittering Jewel of COLOSSAL ignorance!! "Or is God the God of Jews only? Is He not the God of Gentiles also? Yes, of Gentiles also" (Rom.3:29). Regarding Judgement "there is NO partiality with God.(2:11). Ez.33 is parallel w/ Ezekiel 18:32 "For I have NO pleasure in the death of ANYONE who dies," declares the Lord God. "Therefore, repent and live." He's NOT partial, but you argue that He is. You FAIL
