“But if the Bible clearly states that God elects some of us, then it states that. We can’t reject it because we don’t like it.”

Chapter title of the Douay-Rheims ~
Prayers are to be said for all men, because God wills the salvation of all. Women are not to teach.
1 Tim 2:4
[1] I desire therefore, first of all, that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all men: [2] For kings, and for all that are in high station: that we may lead a quiet and a peaceable life in all piety and chastity. [3] For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour, [4] Who will have ALL men to be saved, and to come to the knowledge of the truth
“Who will have ALL men to be saved, and to come to the knowledge of the truth”
If you’ve read my other posts, you’ll see I am not denying that. God does desire the salvation of all men.
Yet, we see elsewhere that he elects, he foreordains, he predestines.
Both concepts are true. Not just one of them.
