I've read a lot of C. S. Lewis and George Macdonald I've noticed that Macdonald is a universalist, but C. S. Lewis maintained that some might actually choose to be lost in the end.

My question is this:

Imagine there were a person whose will was to be forever lost. We know from scripture that God desires his salvation. So we have here a conflict. On the one side, a man who absolutely refuses to be saved, and on the other a God who absolutely desires his salvation. Will this conflict go on forever?

The answer is no. The man is capable of change in response to stimuli. The God on the other hand, is perfect and unchangeable. Therefore simple reason tells you that eventually the man will change in response to the drawing power of God.

Is there a man who could choose to be eternally lost? Only if there were a God who could stop caring about him.

Tim
