"Some verses have already been mentioned, and I'm heading out the door and have no time, but another is 2Pet3:9: ...He is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentence. Calvists have to either ignore that verse or else go through some extreme mental gymnastics to explain it away. However, it is in perfect harmony with the non-Calvist view, as well as the rest of Scripture,"

So you are a universalist? If God wants EVERYONE to be saved and God is all powerful then under your view of the verse then everybody gets saved or God is not all powerful. You can't have it both ways.

Think about that for a little while and try to see how silly that sounds. God does want everyone to be saved. God is all powerful. Everyone will not be saved.

I'm sure you can come up with a reasonable hypothesis that fits the above statements.
