If you really believe that it is God's will that all be saved, why does God allow the Devil to exist to suck men into hell? Wouldn't it be expedient if God just predestined all men to be saved instead? I assume you believe God has the power to do that.....abolish hell and Satan. Yet he allows (or perhaps wants) him to exist. Why do you think the existence of Satan and hell are important to God?
Note....I'd appreciate hearing from any other TTers on this, if you are willing to share your thoughts.

Who here believes in predestination, double predestination or universal access? In other words, are some people predestined by God to be saved, some to be damned or is it God's will that all be saved and it is our will that decides the final outcome?
It is God's will that all be saved. I believe that all are free to come to Christ. However, it is only through the Holy Spirit that we can even come at all. Not all will come.
