2 Timothy 1:8-9
1:8. Therefore do not be ashamed of the testimony of our Lord or of me His prisoner, but join with me in suffering for the gospel according to the power of God, 9. who has saved us and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to His own purpose and grace which was granted us in Christ Jesus from all eternity,
Paul is speaking about God's eternal plan that man receive His approbation and salvation, not by works of his own, as in via the Levitical Law, but by faith in His Son. This is an acceptable and viable explanation for this passage.
2 Timothy 2:10
2:10. For this reason I endure all things for the sake of those who are chosen, so that they also may obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus and with it eternal glory.
Why in the world does Paul say here, '...to those that are chosen...that they may obtain salvation..' clearly he is acknowledging the need to ensure the elect's salvation. The effort and his suffering is required, or they may not 'obtain salvation'. That is the implication here.
Again, an acceptable interpretation.
But regardless, I have said already, too many times to you thick-headed Reformers, that I can appreciate that there are texts that support your position, whether you were actually able to find them or not. So just the fact that you keep shoving verses in my face in order to prove your point, displays that your not listening, that you're not appreciating where the contention lies, that you are stubborn and closed minded. And, that you are completely and entirely oblivious, or in denial, of the proof-text that undermine your position. In other words, I cannot take you seriously until you're prepared to get serious, and deal with the unavoidable other side of the coin, that the Bible clearly supports. At least, at a minimum, acknowledge that they are there.
Your view is naive, imbalanced and dogmatic.
