Healing a lame man does not equate to the state of everlasting life

It's the same principle. How about Paul on the Damascus Road? He alone saw the light and heard the voice, everyone else just thought something funny was going on. We are all spiritually blinded until God opens our eyes.

The Reformed have replaced God with a Care Bear type of God

HA! I can point to several articles I have posted on the wrath of God. They usually get the typical "Ho-Hum" response.

The fact is that the Crucifixion and Resurrection of Our Lord is for all men according to Scripture.

There's not one scripture that I would disagree with. God will ensure that all who should repent will repent.

[MarkBsnr]

Your Care Bear God ministers only to the elect and chauffeurs them to Heaven. The wrath that you point to doesn’t appear to apply to them.

Paul’s eyes were blinded by God, not opened, on the road to Damascus. Our eyes are opened by the infusion of the Holy Spirit at our baptism in which our parents, or ourselves if we have reached the age of reason, invite the Holy Spirit in.

Pauline exclusivism versus Christian inclusivism.
