"I totally agree that God has the right to do as He pleases with His creation. Including the free will to choose Salvation"

Exactly. And Adam and Eve made the fateful choice of choosing death.

And except for those that God is rescuing from the death they chose, fallen man will get what he has chosen.

"Are you questioning John 3:17?"

No. I suggested earlier that you might want to do an objective study on "rebrobation" because you don't understand it. I also suggest you do an objective study on the various meanings of the word translated, "world" in Scripture, and its meaning in the context of the verse you quoted in John 3.

"For you to imply that I was questioning Gods sovereignty is questionable at best. I find it hard to believe that you did not understand my question and point."

I'm not saying you are doing it deliberately, but I base my conclusions on what you wrote in #93,112, 113 (and also in #76, 81, and 88). Man used his free will and made his choice in Eden. Even though he was warned not to do it, he still chose death (thinking all the while that he was actually making a choice to be "God", too). Now he is dead in his sins, hates God, and is not able, even if he was interested, to reach out to God unless God enables him first.

"Be careful of the accusation you make, you will be held accountable."

Sounds like something a Pharisee would have said to Jesus.

It is something Jesus said to the people.

God allowed the Bible to be so corrupted so that I can not take a simple but foundational verse like John 3:17 literally?
