The Apostle Paul was speaking of believers in this passage- he always wrote to churches- not random heathens.

Not everyone is a recipient of God's perfect unconditional love.
If you believe the Bible it is pretty clear on this.

God knew Adam and Eve would sin and mankind would fall. I don't know why he would do what he does but then I'm not going to judge nor impugn his character. I just know he loves me and that's enough for me. I can't be bothered to question the lord of the universe on why he does what he does.

A lot of people seem to have some mistaken notion about "all God's children" and think that applies to all of humanity- but it does not. God's children are children by adoption only.

I think he's incredibly loving to bestow grace and mercy upon me when I didn't want it nor deserve it.

First of all, if not everyone is a recipient of God's love then the Bible LIES when it says the "God so loved the WORLD". Then also in that case God IS a respector of persons and you get in through some kind of "buddy system". I don't think you really believe that do you?

Second, adopted children don't choose their PARENTS it's vice-versa. And even if the kid doesn't want their parents who chose them, they can't EVER disown them through adoption. My father spent much of his entire life in adoption homes/foster parents so I've learned something about that situation.

If Christ FIRST loved us AND chose to redeem us then we are His and in His family. If CHRIST chooses whom to impart love to then "whosoever will may come" is also a lie. Right?
