You folks really like to go round and round. This me thinks proves my point. You can't outwit God. How can mere humans attribute to God evil. The error belongs with you Joseph in your ignorant questioning.
Abaddon you do not beleive in god and that is your choice. God wants you all to be saved. Yes, but he will not force salvation on us and those who side with Satan in slandering him can and will be outwitted to there doom. "He catches the wise in their cunning" zipit

Does God Really Want to Save Everyone?"
by JosephAlward ina striking difference of opinion about gods attitude seems to have existed between the author of 1 timothy and the author of 2 thessalonians.
one thinks that god wants all men to be saved, but the other speaks of god deliberately deluding people in order to condemn them.
both pictures of god cannot be true, so there is a clear contradiction.

Yes, "God Really Want[s] to Save Everyone."
Yet, God will not violate anyones free moral agency.
Salvation is available to all, as God is not partial.
"This is good, and pleases God our Savior, 4 who wants all men to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth." (1 Timothy 2:3&4)
Next we note that God can outwit anyone especially those "who have not believed the truth but have delighted in wickedness.
(2 Thessalonians 2:12)
There is no contradiction as you put it. The choice is yours.
God will help you on the road to salvation or he will help you meet destruction. I'm sure you have heard of self-destructive behavour.

Greek Texts
by realcourchesne indo you know that hundreds of times in their bible, (the new world translation), the watch tower bible and tract society incorrectly translated the greek synonym for (lord) to the name jehovah and hundreds of other times (because it would have contradicted their teachings) they correctly translated the exact same greek synonym to the name lord.. see presentation att: http://www.angelfire.com/ca5/real/translat.html

I peeked at your site and can tell you worked very hard to make a point. As I'm sure you know "Lord" is a title and can be applied even to humans. The addition of the word "one" seems to me to be emphatic rather than numerical. The word "the" specifies. I would suggest making allowance for prefference. Personally I like the 1901 ASV. Do you have a problem with that Bible? Have you ever translated the Bible? Regards, zipit
