Whatever exegesis you arrive at, we can know that:

A god that dooms some to eternal hell before birth is not the Christian God.

A god that created man without free will choice is not the Christian God (in addition to making Christ’s ministry nonsensical and devoid of meaning.)

Salvation by election is not Christian doctrine.

"Salvation by election is not Christian doctrine."

God desires that all be saved and He has provided sufficient grace to overcome all sin, yet all are not saved. Why?

Some attempt to answer that by claiming the tenets of Irresistible Grace and Unconditional Election. That God picks winners and losers based upon whim. I reject that because I refuse to believe that God subjected His Son and mankind to a cruel, meaningless joke.
