And there we have it. The Reformed god does not want men (all men) to live in Heaven forever. He only wants a portion thereof.

Yes. We've been saying that from the beginning. :)

That is not love whatsoever.

It is saving love for some but not all.

Saving only the few means that His Sacrifice was not good enough for all of Creation; Saving only the few means that He is not omnipotent.

That does not follow at all. It would be like saying God is not omnipotent because He didn't just snap His fingers instead of sending His Son. You presume to know God's intentions directly, when you cannot. Besides, your logic would also apply to your faith since you agree that NOT all are saved, yet you claim that is His wish.

His sacrifice WAS "good enough" for all mankind, but it was only efficacious, only made FOR, the elect.

The two deas seem in conflict, don’t they?
