Against Common Grace

Psalm 145:9 is often use as proof for God having common grace toward every single human being who has, is, and will be. But in Psalm 136 - the psalmist praises God's mercy when he destroyed the Egyptians and Israel's enemies. Perhaps it is time we start reading and believing what the Bible alone says rather than what the "scholars" have said?

Winnen Russ said, "Kirk, You don't even have to 'back up' to Ps 136. The Calvinists who use Ps 145:9 to say God 'in a cents' loves everybody, *never* go to verse 20 of the same psalm: 'The Lord preserveth all that love him: but all the wicked will he destroy.' Some common grace! Calvinists don't believe in Antithesis. They read the Bible the same way they read Calvin--they read *into* the Bible--never 'out of' it."

Such thing as common grace?

I was thinking of Common Grace that a lot of Calvinist and Arminians like to espouse today. I know Wayne Grudem has a chapter on it but I couldn't find what I was looking for as to his view of Genesis 17:18-22 where God says he will bless Ishmael. Anyways, I will have to look for it and post it here. But, my question is does these set of verses display common grace? What was the reason for Ishmael receiving a gift from God? If God knew that He would destroy Ishmael in Hell then can we say that God gave him a gift out of love? Consider if you give someone a peanut who is allergic, I mean you might say that you did not know but over all you cannot say that the peanut was really good for him. God knows all things, he gave Ishmael a blessing and he also gave Pharaoh a blessing but over all he destroyed Pharaoh in the sea. Just thoughts to consider.
