You have slipped into a narrow minded viewpoint where 95% of your conversation is about who is elect and who is not. An unsaved person visiting this thread must feel like the odds are against them when they read the constant talk about election. God may have plans to call one to election at 90 years of age. You cannot judge a person to hell just because they are at a stage of their life where they are questioning Christianity.

The Grace of God IMO,is free, but it comes upon those who have prepared their minds through questioning God's Word and asking themselves whether this is a true theology or false. They must plow and fertilize the field for grace to find them ready to receive it.

This is one of the deep mysteries of God, and IMO, enough is not known to decide exactly all of the ramifications of serendipity in people's lives.

God said "Many are called, but few are chosen." Does that not suggest to you that many are called by grace but few of us choose to listen to the call? There is no one less noble than the other. Your belief that you are a more perfect human to be chosen by the call of God has made you into a snob. Whether that is a statement of truth or not that you consider so many going to hell is futility to you. You are missing the fruits of the Holy Spirit.

Remember Christ'e conversation with Nicodemas. "Just as you can hear the wind but can't tell where it comes from or where it will go next, so it is with the Spirit."

Many telling you that you are out of control. They are trying to help you in a compassionate spirit that you need to look at what you are saying. It is neither Christlike nor loving but brutal and condemning.

You can get upset if you like. Some thing needs to change within you. If you cannot listen to a number of people telling you this, then you are too prideful to examine your self. I have warned you in concern. That is all I have to say.
