...and He wants, hopes, wishes, wrings His hands for the unsaved to be saved, then who should be praying to who? Facetious question, I know, but seriously -- is God that weak?

J the B, another question for you then, if we have free will, then what are you doing praying for Uncle Joe's salvation? Why not pray to Uncle Joe?

It's a good point.
The New Testament says that God is not willing that any should perish, but all should come to salvation.
It also says that anything we pray for he will give us. Period. That's silly, but elsewhere a qualified version says that anything we pray for in accordance with his will, he will grant.
Therefore, if Christians pray that everyone will be saved and go to Heaven, it should happen, right?
Also,if Jesus died for the sins of the world, then we should all be saved-- WHETHER WE BELIEVE OR NOT!
Christians have trouble with such reasoning.

God has choose the ones He will call, He will not loose one.
God doesn't hope,wishes, or wrings hand ect.

Yes, God is that weak. God will not violate human freedom. He is a beggar knocking at the door of your heart.
He wants free people, not love bots who love him because he programmed them to.

He wants no person to spend eternity in hell.
Why does that bother you? It seems to me that you would be thankful to at least HAVE the opportunity, even if you choose not accept.

So-to bottom line it, you don't want anyone to pray for you?
