"If God wanted all men to be saved, all men would be saved."

Do you deny that all are called to Salvation or that a plan for Salvation exists for all?

Of course all men are called to repent and believe. None is without excuse.

Does God give new ears to hear the truth of the Gospel to all men?

Does God give new eyes to all men to see the world from a spiritual perspective and know of the salvation won by Christ on the cross?

Does God give all men a new heart of flesh in exhange for their heart of stone so He can fill that heart with Christ?

Does God renew the minds of all men to receive the grace of God?

No, He doesn't.

"According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love:

Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will,

To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved" -- Ephesians 1:4-6

"I pray for them: I pray not for the world, but for them which thou hast given me; for they are thine...

Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word" -- John 17:9,20
