What? According to you he cannot will otherwise, correct?

Precisely your god.

save.

No, we have an infinitely powerful God who saves everyone
who
wants to be saved. He is so powerful that He can allow man
free
will, and use even the free will which men try to use
against Him,
for His own good ends. This God is not the despot, as your
god
is, this God is the God of Scripture, who desires all men be
saved.

No it is not. It is rather like God telling the "little
girl" Do you want
to come up? She responds "yes" and the Girl is UP and in
Heaven!

That is how the REAL God has made HIS GOSPEL! The opposite
of the NON-gospel of Calvinism: To whit:


Revelation 22:17 And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And
let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst
come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life
freely.

And the woman at the well,

John 4:10 Jesus answered and said unto her, If thou knewest
the gift of God, and who it is that saith to thee, Give me
to drink; thou wouldest have asked of him, and he would have
given thee living water.
