Welcome Humble Bob.  Good discussion.

Humblebob,  I guess 1Tim2:34 is what convinced me. 

"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 a knowledge of the truth."

This is what the Lexicon to the New Testament says about this word WILL.
#2309  Thelo:to will.  There is a distinction between "thelo" and the Greek word "boulomai" #1014  which also is translated "will".  "Thelo" indicates not only willing something, but also pressing on to action.

Is 45:10 "Declaring the end from the beginning and from ancient times things which have not been done.  Saying, "My purpose will be established, and I will accomplish all My good pleasure."

If God has declared He wills for all men to be saved, will He not accomplish it?

Is 45:23  "The word has gone forth from My mouth in righteousness
             And will not turn back, that to Me every knee will bow, every tongue
             will swear allegiance."

But above all "God is love."  He will open everyones mind to the meaning of this in His due time.

Thank you for giving me a chance to look up these Scriptures.  I wish I knew them by heart, but there is something to be said about searching thru the verses because I always find something new, or a new insight.

With Christian love,
                              Cindy
