Again, God has the ability to save everybody but He doesn’t. He purposely withholds His saving grace from some, bestows it on others. You’re making railing accusations against Him.That's not the point. I think that the doctrine of unconditional election vilifies God.
I think God wants everyone to be saved, to know Him, to have eternal life. But He offers, not forces that people can be with Him. I make no accusation against God.
I don't believe that He creates people, then commands them to repent of their sins and obey the Gospel - which is a commandment, not a suggestion - all the while knowing that they can't unless He recreates them, and though He commands repentance and obedience, the whole time He knows He has absolutely no intention of making them new so they can obey.
The God I know loves everyone He created, and wants them all, but only if they are willing. And so the fault that some are not saves is upon those who are not saved. They could have been, but they chose not to.
Much love!
