If God wanted all men to be saved, all men would be saved.

That one sentence revealed the truth of double predestination to me. It appears overwhelming. Those whom He has named to be among His family will obey, repent and believe. Those who haven't been named to His family will not want to obey, repent nor believe. They remain perfectly satisfied in their denial.

Ultimately, everyone gets what they want. Especially God.

3This is good, and it is pleasing in the sight of God our Savior, 4who desires all people to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth. 5For there is one God, and there is one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus, 6 who gave himself as a ransom for all, which is the testimony given at the proper time. 7 For this I was appointed a preacher and an apostle ( I am telling the truth, I am not lying), a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and truth. - 1 Tim 2

30 The times of ignorance God overlooked, but now he commands all people everywhere to repent... - Acts 17

Calvin, or God? Calvin, or God? Choices, choices!
