1Ti_2:3-4 - "God... Will Have All Men To Be Saved."

22. 1 Timothy 2:3-4 - "God... Will Have All Men To Be Saved."

"For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior; who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth." The predestinationalists tell us they do not understand how God can say this and yet elect some to Heaven and not others to Hell. Not understanding is the result of not taking God at His Word. When a person takes a word such as "predestinate, elect, or choose," quotes it out of context, does not correlate it with other Scripture concerning the same subject, then mixes it together with humanistic reasoning and wisdom, you have produced a batch of philosophy that is impossible to understand. How easy it is to believe the Word of God that states His will is to "have all men to be saved."
