Yes, I noticed those immediately, so we have no excuse not to see and hear GW despite stumbling-blocks.

No, because souls will be judged justly based upon their opportunity to be saved despite stumbling-blocks such as poor parenting.

The first scripture regarding obligation in the OT vein is Genesis 12:2-3, and the first one in the NT is Matthew 1:20-23.

What is made up? Your post shares your testimony and the reason for your deficient understanding of divine love, while mine shares God's plan A for parenting and what a difference loving parents can make in understanding election.

There is separation instead of salvation per the Parable of the Sheep and Goats, and then there is eternal destruction or death after justice is achieved in hell perhaps experiencing agony in accordance with the principal of “eye for eye” (Matt. 5:38), after which souls are destroyed forever...

Not sure what these passages have to do with the question. Are you asking whether apostasy is possible? The "sour 16" including Heb. 6:4-6 & 10:23-39 indicate the answer is yes.

I have been sharing my testimony about being raised by Christian parents to love Jesus from infancy, and the Scripture I share in this regard is 2Tim. 3:15-17.

For when He doesn't act. I believe God obligated Himself to provide the possibility of salvation for the souls He created.

Apparently you are ignorant of Deut. 30:19, which indicates how God creates a free moral choice.

Then He is to blame for inaction.

Apparently you were not raised by parents who taught you to love God from infancy and so you never rebelled against Him, although this does not mean you were perfect, any more than you are now. However, you always believed you were the object of God's love despite having a human nature (2Tim...

Every accusation without a quotation is a futile exercise. My view is that unbelievers cast themselves into hell where they justly reap what they sowed before being destroyed.

Sinners are only justly punished when they have the choice not to sin or the chance to be forgiven but ignored/rejected it.

The reason God's desire for all to be saved does not always beget belief is because...?

God made salvation of all sinners conditional upon non-meritorious repentance/accepting His grace through faith, and although He is not obligated to save, He has promised never to change His loving grace, and I believe Him.

Huh? You describe YOUR hateful and unjust God!

And those of us who were raised by loving Christian parents are without excuse even more so, and it works out very well for those who do not rebel against being raised in accordance with God's plan for parenting.

God's love is ineffectual with you who do not care whether everyone is saved but instead insist on believing the reason some are not saved is because He shares your unconcern about souls rather than because He allows them to resist His will in order to provide humanness/MFW rather than make...

But the question you evaded answering is "why does God not give new hearts to everyone?" At least you have been honest enough to answer that it is because He hates the non-elect, although such borderline blasphemy makes me cringe when you express it.

I have answered that question numerous times in terms of the proto-gospel and general revelation, but I cannot remember your answer, so please share it again.
