Replying to Chestertonrules in GT

There is a thread over in the GT forums entitled Predesitination. As is usually the case such a hot topic eventually divides into a debate between Calvinists and Non-Calvinists. On this thread a poster by the name of Chestertonrules called for Calvinists to respond to the following passages which are being used to refute Calvinism:

Eze 33:11

Say to them, 'As surely as I live, declares the Sovereign LORD, I take no pleasure in the death of the wicked, but rather that they turn from their ways and live. Turn! Turn from your evil ways!

2 Peter 3:9

The Lord is not slow about His promise, as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing for any to perish but for all to come to repentance.

Is 55:7

Let the wicked forsake his way And the unrighteous man his thoughts; And let him return to the LORD, And He will have compassion on him, And to our God, For He will abundantly pardon.

1 Tim 2

3This is good, and pleases God our Savior, 4who wants all men to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth.

Matt 23

37"O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you who kill the prophets and stone those sent to you, how often I have longed to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, but you were not willing.

I will be taking the time to respond to each scripture proof to demonstrate how they do not refute Calvinism. As I do I will be posting them here at the blog as well.
