the problem I see with the election folks

From the beginning, man has been finding ways to pervert the good things of God. Do our failings make those things any less good or any less true?

Perhaps you, like me, believe in the doctrine of election but, you don't like what some believers do with it.

I don’t believe that God chooses to save only a few people.

His call is for all men everywhere to repent, that He is not willing that ANY should perish but all come to repentance, that Jesus died for the sins of the whole world.

But men love their sin too much to respond to His call and prompting.

Some respond, most don’t.

So I think in one sense, God chose to save those whom He foreknew would respond as opposed to condemning them with the rest of humanity, like they deserve, but but I don’t believe He picks and chooses based on some criteria that only He can fathom, and tough luck for the rest of them.
