Having made this point extremely clear, I shall be happy if the unis don't speak to me any more.

Your entitled to your opinion, but you may have to stop making yourself available in a public manner to keep us from speaking to you.

Amen Shana. God has a desire to the work of His hands. All is out of Him and by Him and for Him. He is LOVE. His mercy endureth forever. He has a desire to the work of His hands and He will do all that He desires for none can stay His hand. He is far wiser, patient, and loving than any of us can ever imagine. Tho he casts aside for a time he will restore His banished ones. When His judgments are in the earth, the inhabitants will learn righteousness.

Not care about God? He is our every breath, our life.
Amen. God bless.

To answer the OP...yes, it is a Godly thought to desire all men be saved. It is what God, our Heavenly Father, desires, is it not?

We are also instructed by Jesus to pray for God's will to be done on earth. The Bible clearly states that God desires (wills) that all come into the Knowledge of the Truth.

Amen.

The ETs will argue that God ONLY desires that all men be saved. Is there scriptures to show that God gets what He desires? (there is but I will leave to others to find them).

Paul

you ask a weirds questions for someone apparently claiming christian title.

God wants none to perish...so godly thought.

and the church is teaching what jesus taught....only a few saved....look it up....he was asked about it.

read your bible and believe it.

you seem content on believing what feels good to you.

i cannot blame you, but God can.

I am not a christian , and i read my bible and see all will be saved , feels good ???? you are having a giraffe , if God desires all to be saved then i would prefer to be in agreement with Him than what the church tries to force feed you into believing .
