Is it also reasonable that God chooses who will not be saved?
Or will everyone be saved in the end?
If God chooses who will be saved then it is automatic that he has selected those who will not be saved.

' Will everyone be saved? '
There are far to many references to the consequences of not believing in God and many moral problems with believing God will save every one.

example, where is the justice in compelling people who despise Christianiy to spend an eternity in the very enviroment they hate.
Or are you happy with the idea that God compels people to believe and if you are happy with this idea why are you unhappy at the ideas found in predestination etc.

Agree.
How would you feel if God decided you would not be saved?
Not by your choice, but by His.

LOL
I've heard that argument.
As if anyone would prefer a forever burning hell to heaven.
Seriously?
