You didn't.

But, by neccessity, if God desires all to be saved, and not all are, He is.

I prefer to think of a God who can accomplish his will.

Do you know who will be saved and who won't?

Well, according to that logic, Christ was just a patch job to fix the original mistake: Adam and Eve taking the forbidden fruit.

So, God messed it up the first time, but fixed it the second time?

Don't bother answering; I already know the answer. It's very clearly spelled out in the Westminster Confession of faith.

Adam and Eve were made to eat the fruit (because God is sovereign, he makes everyone do what He wants), because He wanted to damn the majority of humanity to hell to glorify his justice. The rest he saves to glorify his mercy.

Calvin's God is a sick and twisted individual.
