"If God wanted all men to be saved, all men would be saved. He's God. You're not."

Yet you continue to argue that all one needs to do to be saved is to adopt tenets of Calvinism and then to declare themselves saved.

God does want us to be saved. A loving God does not damn anyone to hell, that is the consequence of rejection of Grace by the sinner. Being made in God's image, God gave us free will and the knowledge of the difference between good and evil so that we could freely choose to love him.

I'm getting pretty tired of you repeatedly misstating my position. It's a waste of my time.

There is only one criteria for salvation -- not baptism not communion, not a priestly invocation or the hundres of other pseudo requirements Rome concocked to keep men chained to its pretty dresses.

"Be not afraid; only believe." -- Mark 5:36

Belief in Christ as Lord, King, God and Savior is the only "requirement" for salvation. And the ability to comprehend that is God-given as the free gift of the Holy Spirit who renews a man's mind to know the the things of God.

Read the Bible. Leave the man-man hoops behind. Maybe you'll understand, God willing.

a loving God does not damn anyone to hell

lol. Once again we see the RCC is not only illogical, but Scripturally ignorant.

Is Judas in hell?
