    I believe that is the logical conclusion of that verse. Seems obvious to me.
    If you want to believe He is not willing the same way He is not willing that any should murder....ok, I disagree but it does not change the doctrine of predestination.

    If your interpretation contradicts other passages, something is wrong.
    Predestination is CLEARLY taught in other passages. This passage only reinforces that.

    God so loved the world...

    Whosoever, any and all stem from that.

    Sure. Ignore the immediate context and pull out some verses from another book. That's a good interpretive technique.

    1. Whosoever believeth
    2. Any that believe
    3. All who believe

    Whosoever, any, and all are not universal. They only apply to believers! :cool:
