“God will have us all to be saved,” but He made the way narrow and difficult. It would seem that if He was the egalitarian, sentimental, “loving” God that some make Him out to be He would have made the way broad enough to accommodate all of the differences He made in man and man’s variety of circumstances.

“loving” God...

Why the quotes? Are you somehow trying to express doubt that God is loving?

We have Scripture. I just posted a couple of posts listing Scripture that claims that God wants all men to be saved. There are some verses that say that not all men are saved. These two ideas must be reconciled and the trouble is not with Scripture - it is in the interpretation.
