Going back to the preaching to the Jews. This is not doctrine for the body of Christ. This is concerning the lost sheep of the house of Israel. You need to flee replacement theology. But that’s another discussion.

Lost people have faith. Faith is not limited to the believer. Joy is not limited to the believer. Long suffering is not limited to the believer. Etc...
Spiritual Israel, yes, not God’s physical people Israel. God is going to carry out His promises to His physical people Israel.
There's only one people of God, Israel, and the believing Gentiles who join them.
Peter told us that God is "not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance".
It seems like you have not distinguished between God's perfect will and God's permissible will.
“The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.” 2 Peter 3:9 (KJV 1900)
If you keep avoiding the question, we will not have any common ground to work with and you will demonstrate that you don't want to deal with the subject seriously

Think like a Jew. All men, the whole world, all nations = God fulfilling the promise to Abraham. He never says each and every person.
Jesus died for everyone, for the sins of the whole world. Anyone can choose to believe the Gospel and become saved.
Calvinism is a lie.
The apostle John wrote his Gospel to an audience of gentiles with the most basic street Greek. Its meant to be read with a Gentile mindset.
Matthew however was written to a Jewish audience, meant to be read with a Jewish mindset.
And for the record, I am Jew.
