Isaiah 46:10

declaring the end from the beginning, and from the past those things which were not done, saying, My purpose shall rise; and, I will do all My desire;

He turned their heart to hate His people, to deal craftily with His servants.

Psalm 135:6

Every thing which Jehovah was pleased to do, He did, in the heavens and in the earth; and in the seas and all deep places

Romans 9:19

You will then say to me, Why does He yet find fault? For who has resisted His will?

Daniel 4:35

And all the inhabitants of the earth are counted as nothing. And He does according to His will among the army of Heaven, and among the inhabitants of the earth. And no one is able to strike His hand or say to Him, What are You doing?

Proverbs 21:1

John 5:21

For even as the Father raises the dead, and gives life, so also the Son gives life to whomever He wills.

So, then, to whom He desires, He shows mercy. And to whom He desires, He hardens.

Ephesians 1:3-6

Blessed is the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenlies with Christ,

according as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, for us to be holy and without blemish before Him in love,

predestinating us to adoption through Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the good pleasure of His will,

Ephesians 1:11

in whom we also have been chosen to an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of the One working all things according to the counsel of His own will,

Isaiah 55:11

so shall My word be, which goes out of My mouth; it shall not return to Me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please (I desire), and it shall prosper in what I sent it to do!

Comment – After reading and comprehending what the above scriptures are saying, is it clear that God fulfills all His desires and accomplishes all of what He desires to accomplish?

It should be as clear as the cleansing of the water of God’s word through the Holy Spirit to all the regenerate children of God that believe and trust in:

2 Corinthians 4:6 John 3:3,5,8

God promises to save His people Matthew 16:16-18 from their sins Matthew 1:21 conditioned on the atoning shed blood 🩸 of Jesus Christ and His imputed righteousness alone without any contribution through any effort or work from those He represented and substituted for in His perfect life lived in thought, word, and deed, His atoning shed blood 🩸 and His imputed righteousness and His resurrection from the dead according to the scriptures; satisfying the justice of God; making God a just God, a justifier and a savior through Jesus Christ.

God will cause all of His Children of promise to come to the knowledge of the truth of the Gospel of Jesus Christ before death to demonstrate that He has saved them from their sins. Revelation 20:15 1 Timothy 2:4

Isaiah 53, Romans 3:24 Hebrews 9:22, 1 Peter 1:19 Romans 3:26-31 Romans 4:3-8 Romans 1:16-17, John 6:37-44,65 John 10 Romans 8, 9,10,11 Isaiah 43:11

Comment

The biblical fact that God accomplishes all His desires is not understood by The Free Will false doctrine believers. There are numerous religious organizations that believe the individual man makes the difference in salvation either by his works or self generated faith in a false gospel conditioned on man. Ephesians 2:8-10, John 6:29

This free will of man doctrine of demons cannot be supported from scripture. The free will false doctrine believers say God desires to save each and every individual that has lived, is living and will live; but yet not all will be saved because of man’s free will.

Revelation 5:9 7:9 John 6:37-39

They use their interpretation of 1 Timothy 2:1-4 to support their false doctrine that God desires to save every individual without exception but can’t because of the free will of man by using the definition 1 Timothy 2:4 all men” to mean every individual that has lived, will live and is living. They interpret 1 Timothy 2:4 as meaning God desires to save everyone individually “all men” while the context says all kinds of men without class distinction. You can extract very easily from the verse the contextual meaning of “all men” as all men without distinction to class in this case.

So, either God is a liar when He says I will do all my desires or the doctrine of free will is a doctrine of demons from the originator of lies when they say God desires the salvation of each and every individual that has lived is living or will live; but yet all will not be saved.

1 Timothy 2:1-4

First of all then, I exhort that petitions, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made on behalf of all men,

for kings and all the ones being in high position, that we may lead a tranquil and quiet existence in all godliness and dignity.

For this is good and acceptable before God our deliverer,

who desires all men to be delivered and to come to a full knowledge of truth.

Comment

The people addressed were obviously neglecting their prayers towards kings and those in preeminent positions.

To conclude, The free will false doctrine of man being the determining factor of salvation would set the Bible up with a contradiction and God as a liar if their view was biblical. That cannot be according.

Numbers 24:19

God is not a man that He should lie, or a son of man that He should repent. Has He said, and shall He not do it? And has He spoken, and shall He not make it good?

Comment

The false doctrine of the free will of man is behind every false religion whether labeled Christian or by some other labeled religion.

The Biblical Truth: God saves all His promised people without distinction of any particular nation, even tribes, languages and people. All of His promised people come out from all different places and peoples without distinction. The Bible says you have desires but they aren’t free from sin. No one seeks God, no one understands and no one does good. So, where is the freedom? Jesus said If the Son sets you free, you are free indeed. You will not believe in the true God unless God gives you a new heart.

The proper definition of “ All Men” is He desires to save “all men” without distinction of class, place or nation etc. Scripture does not contradict itself. Scripture interprets Scripture. This interpretation is in conformity with scripture saying God desires all men to be saved and God fulfills all His desires and accomplishes all that He sets out to accomplish.
