Is it a Godly thought when you desire All men to be saved?
Yes, Absolutely! If this is what God has given you, Run with it!

Quote:
Or should we just be content with just thinking that with what the church teaches, that only a few shall be saved ?
Hell, No! I’d be very leery of any Orthodox Dogma.

In His Love, John

1 timothy 4:10
God is the savior of all men, especially those that believe.
God is not the Saviour of them who are going to the lake of fire like these to be punished everlastinly..matt 25:

41Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:

46And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.

No Saviour for those !

Maybe with so many people trying to point out to you that GODS Love Is for all mankind! Is impossible for you to grasp! Maybe "God" has been pounding on the door of your heart, and it's got a little hard perhaps, but you refuse to open up to him!

Oh well! Each to his own!
Gods Love is for His Own amongst mankind..Jn 13:

Now before the feast of the passover, when Jesus knew that his hour was come that he should depart out of this world unto the Father, having loved his own which were in the world, he loved them unto the end.

He doesnt Love the workers of iniquity, the seed of the devil ps 5:

5The foolish shall not stand in thy sight: thou hatest all workers of iniquity.

Neither did He pray for all mankind for their spiritual good, conversion and salvation..Jn 17:

9I pray for them: I pray not for the world, but for them which thou hast given me; for they are thine.

Am not too sure who you are addressing this to, but I will answer it nonetheless

Believe it or not, this has actually HAS become my most serious life problem, and trust and believe me when I say I have many, not least of which is severe GAD and depression

Something like this would never have worried me 2 years ago, it took me completely by surprise at the beginning of last year and occupies most of my free time and thoughts, it's like an unstoppable freight train out of control, the only time I get any rest from it is when I'm asleep, even then it's come to haunt me in my dreams

Please don't laugh at me, it may sound funny, but I can promise you the last year and a half has been the worst of my entire life, going thru something like this is a nightmare, I'm sure there are others that have been thru it as well, that can testify to this fact

Why are you suffering? Be of Good cheer! IF God is with us who can be against us? The spirit of Christ is not a spirit of fear, though many of these people would like you to believe that. The spirit of Christ is not a spirit of condemnation. Christs spirit is THE spirit of reconciliation. All creation will bow to him and worship him and sing his name when all is said and done. Be of Good cheer!

Dont forget to qualify that statement! The fundamental and orthodox Christian religion! Early Christianity was not an institution. It only became institutionalized when it became the state religion of Rome. Now all protestant faiths are more or less the bastard children of the Roman Catholic Institution, and it shows. Chips off the old block you might say ... The Roman Catholic Church was among the first of many terrorist organizations.
