Quite, Dr, how does the idea of the elite work with
"1 Timothy 2: 3 This is good and pleasing to God our savior, 4 who wills everyone to be saved and to come to knowledge of the truth. 5 For there is one God. There is also one mediator between God and the human race, Christ Jesus, himself human, 6 who gave himself as ransom for all. "


or

1 Corinthians 15: 20 7 8 But now Christ has been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep. 21 9 For since death came through a human being, the resurrection of the dead came also through a human being. 22 For just as in Adam all die, so too in Christ shall all be brought to life, 23 but each one in proper order: Christ the firstfruits; then, at his coming, those who belong to Christ


These quotes from scripture negate the idea of a predestined elite.

There is no "elite."

There are only fallen sinners saved by grace alone, and those who are not saved by grace who love their sins and couldn't care less about God and His Lordship.

And for your Bible lesson today look up the beginning chapters of 1 Timothy and 1 Corinthians to see the “all” to whom Paul is directing his comments.
