@Behold



Actually they were, God made them vessels of wrath and fits them for destruction, they have no say so, they are just pots He made to make His Power known Rom 9:18-22

Then this is a lie. "He died for from unbelief, false religion in the world, according to the will of God Gal 1:4"
18 Therefore hath he mercy on whom he will have mercy, and whom he will he hardeneth.

19 Thou wilt say then unto me, Why doth he yet find fault? For who hath resisted his will?

20 Nay but, O man, who art thou that repliest against God? Shall the thing formed say to him that formed it, Why hast thou made me thus?

21 Hath not the potter power over the clay, of the same lump to make one vessel unto honour, and another unto dishonour?

22 What if God, willing to shew his wrath, and to make his power known, endured with much longsuffering the vessels of wrath fitted to destruction:
 
Then this is a lie. "He died for from unbelief, false religion in the world, according to the will of God Gal 1:4"
God made some as vessels of wrath and fits them for destruction. And He made some as vessels of mercy, and saves them from their sins, like unbelief and ignorance
 
God made some as vessels of wrath and fits them for destruction.

The God of love does this?
  1. It has been taught that God loves all men – even ones that He sends to hell.

    This teaching profanes God's love for His elect and His hatred for those ordained to damnation (Jude 1:4). It is not taught in Scripture! Common grace is frequently taught. I don't deny that God provides for all men, but if rain and sunshine are measurements of God's love (as is taught at GBC), I'd have to conclude that the people with the most rain and sunshine are the most loved by God.

    Psalms 92:5-7 O LORD, how great are thy works! and thy thoughts are very deep. {6} A brutish man knoweth not; neither doth a fool understand this. {7} When the wicked spring as the grass, and when all the workers of iniquity do flourish; it is that they shall be destroyed for ever:

    God does not love all men. There are billions of men that God just wants to destroy forever, and He does. He causes men to prosper for the purpose of resurrecting them to everlasting shame and contempt.

    Joshua 11:20 For it was of the LORD to harden their hearts, that they should come against Israel in battle, that he might destroy them utterly, and that they might have no favour, but that he might destroy them, as the LORD commanded Moses.

    God actively hardened the hearts of the Gentiles. Why? It's not because the Gentiles were any more wicked than the Jews! It was so that God would keep His covenant with Israel. God had no desire whatsoever to give these gentiles any favor and He wanted to destroy them forever – so He hardened them.
  2. It has been taught that God didn't elect people to eternal damnation.

    Romans 9:22-23 What if God, willing to show his wrath, and to make his power known, endured with much longsuffering thevessels of wrath fitted to destruction: {23} And that he might make known the riches of his glory on the vessels of mercy, which he had afore prepared unto glory,

    Jude 1:4 For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ.

    These passages clearly teach that men are ordained to condemnation. God planned and decreed that certain men would be damned for eternity.
