Yes, and "a cat is a cat" is a tautology. But it is trivial. Your interpretation of 2 Peter is more like "God is not willing that any bachelor should marry, but that all bachelors be unmarried." Of course, once someone is married they are no longer a bachelor. But that's a long way to drive to find the diner ain't open.
Now, if only there was a way of interpreting Peter's statement in a non-tautological fashion which stayed true to the meaning of Scripture. (sigh) If only.....
The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward [them that have obtained like precious faith with us – 2 Peter 1:1], not willing that any [saint] should perish, but that all [saints] should come to repentance. – 2 Peter 3:9
Thank you for continuing the discussion. Further contemplation reveals that not only does this verse council patience in the saints, but that it is a grand statement of God’s preservation of the saints. God flatly promises that none of his chosen beloved children will perish; he wills it not. The saints can rest assured that the almighty God will orchestrate all things in heaven and on earth for their salvation.
Of course, once someone is married they are no longer a bachelor.
And of course, once someone is saved they will not perish…Thank the Lord!
But that's a long way to drive to find the diner ain't open.
For the saints, the diner is always and forever open, and they will never be thrown out. God promises.
