Even more so, when you consider that He wants all men to be saved (1Tim.2:4) died for all (1Jn.2:2,Heb.2:9), is patient that none perish (1Pet.3:9) and weeps over those who freely reject Him (Matt.23:37. Yes, that is a Glorious and Wonderful God! Oh, I'm sorry, that isn't the God of Calvinism is it?

Well, I know that you read at least part of my article. In what way did God want to save and then die for the Egyptians when He ripped the wheels off of their chariots and then drowned them in the sea? In what way did God want to save and then die for the Hebrew generation He was disgusted with for 40 years, swearing in His wrath that they would not enter into His rest? In what way did God want to save and then die for Herod and Pilate and the Jews and Greeks who came together to do whatsoever He had determined before to be done in killing His Son? In what way did God want to save and then die for that fornicator and godless Esau whom He hated? In what way does God want to save and died for all those who never ever got a chance to hear the gospel of the kingdom and trust in the Name of Jesus?

Did you ever hear of Mannaseh? If anyone deserved to die it was him!

So Manasseh made Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem to err and do worse then the heathen, whom the Lord had destroyed before the children of Israel. And the Lord spake to Manasseh and to his people but they would not hearken. (how can that be? No one can resist God?) Wherefore the Lord brought upon them the captains of the host of the king of Assyria, which took Manasseh among the thorns and bound him with fetters and carried him to Babylon. And when he was in affliction,he besought the Lord his God and humbled himself greatly before the God of his fathers. And he prayed unto him and he was entreated of him and heard his supplication, and brought him again to Jerusalem into his kingdom. Then Manasseh knew that the Lord he was God.(2Chr.33:9-13)

God takes no pleasure in the death of the wicked.(Ezk.33:11) (Ezk.33:11). God created man and will give man every chance to repent (Gen. 18:32,Jonah 4:11).

God will mete out Justice, when Love is rejected.(Rev.19)

Regarding other nations, those nations are those composed of people who God knows would say no to the Gospel. The example is in Acts.16:7 where Paul is told not to go to Bithynia but to Macedonia (vs.9)
