I also included two verses from Paul to Timothy that do speak of how we should view God's heart toward man. Particularly important to me is that God is savior of ALL men, ESPECIALLY of those who believe. I believe and want that "especial", but I also recognize that there is an ALL in there. I don't- I use the word think in this case rather than believe- that God is not in the business of eternally punishing man.
What do you think of the two Timothy verses given by Paul, an apostle by the will of God?

"I included 2 verses from the apostle Paul. in 1Tim 2, Paul points out that it is God’s desire for all men to be saved and come to a knowledge of the truth- that’s God’s desire, and I think God gets what he wants. The way is through the one man Jesus the Christ, who gave himself a ransom for all.
Next was 1Tim 4.10 For to this end we both labor and suffer reproach, because we trust in the living God, who is the Savior of all men, especially of those who believe. 11These things command and teach.
God is the savior of all men, especially of those who believe."
I haven't known of Babu long enough to jump to such a conclusion about him as you have. I prefer not to be so quick to judge.
Nevertheless,
As quoted previously..."God is the savior of all men, especially of those who believe."
Are you a universalist?
If God is the savior of all men then why are we still here? Scripture teaches He wills that none would perish but says many will.
