Questions to consider

1. If God would save all men, but cannot, is He infinite in power?

2. If God can save all men, but will not, is He infinite in goodness?

3. Does God desire the salvation of all men? (1 Tim. 2:3-4)

4. Since God is righteous, must not the desire for universal salvation be a righteous desire?

5. Is it true, that "the desire of the righteous shall be granted?" -- (Prov. 10:24)

6. Did God design universal salvation when He created man?

7. Will God carry His original design into execution?

8. Can finite man frustrate the purposes of the Almighty?
Are our broadest hopes broad enough? Shall there be a nook or abyss, in all the universe of God, finally unlightened by the Cross? Shall there be a sin, or sorrow, or pain unhealed? Is the very universe, is creation in all its extent, a field wide enough for the Son of God?

Good questions...but sadly, not asked by most Christians.
Socrates taught Plato.  Plato taught Aristotle.  Aristotle tutored the son of Philip of Macedon.  This boy grew up to become Alexander the Great, largely by slaughtering a lot of people.  That's philosophy.

Jesus spoke the Truth.  He blessed the poor.  He healed the sick.  He even raised the dead.  He died on a cross for us, lived again, and came back long enough to tell us to love one another.  That's religion.

YHVH = Behold the Nail, Behold the Hand = Jesus

Our Father has given us life through Christ
God's word will not return to Him void/empty.
By definition the agape love overlooks every error and is not in need of obtaining responsive interaction to achieve success .
If God is not be able to carry out His mission then He is effectively weaker than man- ergo not an actual God but a servant. Why Paul points out Isaiah's point about the pot telling the potter why it was made is ridiculous and presumptuous.
Knowledge of the future and the truth of what Christ did wipes out the fear of failure.

aye....God's will to save a man is stronger than a mans will to resist

aye but its no just His 'desire'...the word is 'boulemos' in the passage in Peter God resolves none to perish....) and it means 'resolved'

Aye indeed, brother! Our Father has indeed resolved that absolutely NONE shall perish.

Leftover pieces of miracle fish and bread are gathered up by our Lord that nothing be lost.

We all can rest assured the Author & Finisher loses nothing.
