2 Pet 3 "God is not willing for any to perish but for all to come to repentance"
Matt 23 "How I WANTED to spare your children, but you would not"
John 1:11 "He came to HIS OWN and his own received Him not"
Matt 18 "I forgave you all that debt just because you asked, you should have forgiven others as you were forgiven but you did not... return all the debt to him"
God so loved the World that He gave His only Son that whosoever believes in Him should have everlasting life.
Shows that it is God's heart the created the process of salvation
On the contrary, that Matt 7 statement of Christ removes all options that seek to make God the problem when someone chooses the wide path rather than the Narrow path. It does not say "God chooses for many to be on the wide path to destruction and God chooses for only a few to be on the Narrow path".
The many are on the wide path to destruction even though "God is not willing that any should perish"
How could I possibly have a problem with that? It is clearly a problem for Calvinism just like Matt 18 "I forgave you all the debt" where the ungrateful servant then loses all his forgiveness (forgiveness revoked) and the danger/warning/lesson is stated as "So shall My Father do to each one of you IF you do not ..."
Yet another problem for Calvinism.
Very much like the problem Calvinism faces in Rom 11
