God is not willing that any should perish?

[Clare73]

Could it be said, "Because God is infinite, the Atonement is in the eternal present tense in the mind of God?" This would the eternal now. From this perspective, the atonement would be the same for Abraham, as for St. Paul, as for us today. We make the distinction between the crucifixion and the atonement. The crucifixion is a historical event, the atonement is a supernatural eternal event.

It can be said that
atonement is applied to the sons of God (Jn 1:12-13) through faith in the promise (Ge 15:5, Seed, Jesus Christ, Gal 3:16).

It's mathematics. When you toss a coin of head and tail 1000 times, the expected outcome under normal distribution is half and half. Mathematically you can still wish all are head and no tail, because there's always a probability there, it's extremely shear though.

Hi everyone, I was just thinking about this- something may be about to come. There is a scripture- "The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance." -2 Peter 3:9

If God is not willing that any should perish then why does it happen? There is an answer! Do you have any ideas?

Thanks!

And this my answer , is your conclusion , sound ?

# 1 Who is Peter writing too ?

# 2 To the BODY of CHRIST ?

# 3 Or to Israel ?

# 4 I SAY Peter is speaking to ISRAEL !

# 5 As Israel and Judah have not become ONE STICK as written in EZE 37:15-19 as Christ will then the

NEW COVENANT BEGINS IN Eze 36: 22-38 !!

Because in spite of the claims by calvinists, God gave men choices and does not impose Himself on humans against their will as a rule.

The answer is not hard to find. People go down the broad and spacious road that leads to hell because they want to. They like the roomy path that leads to hell so they choose it. God warns them, he tells them of the danger ahead. They don't care, they like the easy way. So, despite God's expressed desire that they come to repentance and walk the narrow and difficult path that leads to heaven and eternal life with Jesus Christ, they choose the comfortable and easy way that leads to hell.
