No time to read all you wrote.

So if God wants us go "go to HIM", but we do not want to, we can thwart his desire ?

Absolutely YES!! Where have you been? .

“Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to DESTRUCTION, and MANY enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to LIFE, and only a FEW find it. Matt 7:13,14

Those MANY rejected HIM and do not/refuse to HEAR and OBEY HIM!!

This contradicts Scripture. No human wants to "go to him", humans are born into sin. If it were not for God's Holy Spirit, all would reject God.

They reject God, they are rejecting His Spirit. It contradicts nothing! Where did you get the idea ALL will accept Jesus as their Savior? As we see only a 'few' do.

Scripture tells us that God is more powerful than man; if God so wills a thing to happen, the thing happens.

The "few" that you reference - in the Bible they are called the "elect". The term the elect refers to those people that God has predordained to salvation. Acts 13:48 makes reference to those who are "ordained to eternal life":

Acts 13

"48 And when the Gentiles heard this, they were glad, and glorified the word of the Lord: and as many as were ordained to eternal life believed."

Note how this is worded; those that were already ordained to eternal life... believed.

Matthew 22:14
"For many are called, but few are chosen."

Note that nowhere in the Bible is it written that a man, of his own volition, can or would make himself one of those whom God has already chosen as his elect; this set of men, the elect, is determined by God's choice, i.e., God has elected to save those that he will. Here are a number of references to the elect, i.e., the chosen few (of course the first reference is to Jesus Christ, firstborn among the elect):

Behold my servant, whom I uphold; mine elect, in whom my soul delighteth; I have put my spirit upon him: he shall bring forth judgment to the Gentiles.

And I will bring forth a seed out of Jacob, and out of Judah an inheritor of my mountains: and mine elect shall inherit it, and my servants shall dwell there.
