Irresistible is Gods love to us. Not vice versa. Once we have tasted, we thirst to know Him more.
Many called or invited, few chosen or make choice. Then we have a variation on chosen which means favorite. Elect. But, in some scriptures uses chosen.
IMO, chosen could be one who knows from early beginnings that they were chosen by God for His purposes. Like Paul. An example of elect or favorite could be like David....a man after His own heart.
But as said...opinion.

Another assumption......I am not arguing with you....believe what you like.
God knows my heart and that is all I need to know.
I don’t have to justify anything to you....have a good day.[/QUOTE]
Hey sis, you do understand that the one you are supporting in this thread absolutely teaches that God doomed most men to hell and that Jesus only loves the saved, and he did not die for the world etc......right? He is peddling a doctrine formulated in the 1500's by an ex-Catholic......they sound good, they sound biblical and smooth, but they are not teaching the truth.

I may have done that. I will watch out for that from now on because it does make a mess of things. Once again thanks 
Like I said, once anyone does it, when that post is quoted, the mess is carried over unless/until fixed -

Jesus called false teachers/doctrines vipers and other names. I must explain my position on here about how I feel about such. While I hate no human being ever, I do unequivocally despise false teachers, false doctrine, and the twisting of the Word of God. I can care about someone's soul but I will not and I do not care or love something posted which is contrary to God's Word. So no, if someone is preaching/ posting/ misquoting the Word, that I will not "love."

He and and I had quite a few set-tos over the years, but always kept giving each other another chance I believe his heart is in the right place, especially as it concerns our Lord Sometimes it seems like splitting hairs when we get down to the nuances in how we view Scripture differently, even when the overall view has a glaring discrepancy, such as what we see when one says "all" or "the world" only means the elect. Of course the most important thing is to be able to discuss our differences civilly, in keeping with loving our brothers and sisters in Christ... which can be challenging at times, to be sure.
Thank you for your kind words. You carry yourself very well in this online world, and are a wonderful role model for many
PS~ and where would we be without a sense of humor? Dead, no doubt
