The fact remains that God's elect will never ultimately reject whatever truths He presents to them.

Agreed, but the reason they "cannot" reject those truths is because God knows they will accept those truths based upon his infinite foreknowledge, and whatever God knows must come to pass. (otherwise he wouldn't know it, would he?)

You are wrong to say that I am resentful over what God is doing. What God is doing has already been done. He knows everything (past, present and future) and has thus ordained everything according to the good pleasure of his will. Nothing that he knows cannot happen. Think about it.

I had written: "It's not what you know --- it's what you reject that tells the tale."

In #44 you replied: "One cannot reject something that is not honestly offered. If God has created you with an inability to accept an offer, then you have no ability to either accept it or reject it."

But it was honestly offered and we all rejected it.

We had the ability, but rejected the Truth of God and exchanged it for THE LIE.

Did you miss what I said in the Genesis Chapter 3 thread to White Mountain when he wrote:

"We live in a fallen world. We have both good and evil choices presented to us."

I told him it is:

Too late. We were present in the garden and participated in the fall. We already made our evil choice before we were ever formed _in the flesh_ in the temporal world.

You wrote: "You are wrong to say that I am resentful over what God is doing..."

That's great! Then you'll be thankful that God will not leave some of us in the fallen state we chose, but will drag some of us to Christ in spite of ourselves.
