Rod, the message of salvation goes out for those who will be saved.
They will be able to hear God's call, respond to it, and come to Jesus
asking forgiveness for their sin and be saved from judgment.
The message of salvation is not for those who won't be saved.
FWIW, you have a barrier up between you and God. You are convinced you
are right, and that pride / arrogance erects a barrier which keeps you
from God, and God from you. He tries to reach out to you through men
and women like me, but that barrier you sustain keeps you forever from
the knowledge of God.
If you want to know the truth, you have to begin with the
acknowledgment, the possibility, that you may be wrong, and that if you
are wrong you do want to know the truth.
Knowledge of God comes from seeking the truth, Rod.

"When I die and they lay me to rest
Gonna go to the place that's the best
When I lay me down to die
Goin' up to the spirit in the sky

Goin' up to the spirit in the sky
That's where I'm gonna go when I die
When I die and they lay me to rest
I'm gonna go to the place that's the best

Prepare yourself you know it's a must
Gotta have a friend in Jesus
So you know that when you die
He's gonna recommend you
To the spirit in the sky

Gonna recommend you
To the spirit in the sky
That's where you're gonna go when you die
When you die and they lay you to rest
You're gonna go to the place that's the best

Never been a sinner, I never sinned
I got a friend in Jesus
So you know that when I die
He's gonna set me up
With the spirit in the sky

Oh set me up with the spirit in the sky
That's where I'm gonna go when I die
When I die and they lay me to rest
I'm gonna go to the place that's the best
Go to the place that's the best"
