11 Peter 3:9
The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance.
Why isn’t the plain meaning of Peter’s words enough for us? “The Lord is…not willing that any should perish.” How many Calvinist theologians have endeavored carefully to analyze this verse. What was Peter really saying? Perhaps it is better understood that “The Lord is not willing that any (of the elect) should perish.”
If that is what Peter really meant, then why would Peter’s disciples, and their disciples in turn, not have emphasized this in their writings?
