I did not say that either. I said that God specifically chose the Hebrew people and that it was only the Hebrew priesthood that was able to temporarily attone for sin through sacrifice.
However, God always had sheep from another sheep pen unknown to the Israelites...see John 10:16.
The fact that Israel was chosen due to no good of their own shows God's sovereign election.
Also, you mentioned Job...consider that in that example though God gave or had to authorize Satan to persecute Job.
Consider the words of Romans 9:6-24...it's all God's sovereign will.
I am not aware of your full discourse but just thought I'd comment on some of what I've contemplated on the subject for many years.
God wants all men to be saved, yes, we have that spelled out for us in black and white in Scriptures. However, we have the other Scriptures speaking of the foreknowledge of God...Paul speaks of himself as being set apart from his mother's womb as does King David and Romans speaks of being foreknown and predestined. Jesus tells the disciples that they did not choose Him, but that He chose them...the kings were anointed by God's commands with prophets as a go-between.
This then tells us there is an unknown area to us about all this choosing and predestination. There must be something that makes it all "fair"...like the way God set the system up, how He made us and then too, He did put His laws in our hearts...all of ours.
