Ephesians 2:8 “For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:” with a dollop of "free will".

Totally false there's never been a scripture that says Christ died for All mankind , that's been added by men.

You deny this?
KJV
2 Cor 5:14 For the love of Christ constraineth us; because we thus judge, that if one died for all, then were all dead:

and this

Romans 5:6-8
For at just the right time, while we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly. / Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous man, though for a good man someone might possibly dare to die. / But God proves His love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

and especially this in full..... bearing in mind
  • “All” (Greek pántōn) is universal and unqualified.

2 Corinthians 5:14-15 - Bible verse - DailyVerses.net

For Christ's love compels us, because we are convinced that one died for all, and therefore all died. And he died for all, that those who live should no longer live for themselves but for him who died for them and was raised again.

Jesus died for all. To deny this is to deny the very word of God in the language that Jesus spoke.

You need glasses there is never been a scripture that says Christ died for All mankind specifically. He died for all whom He draws to himself, and we know that's not all mankind
 
Free will is not a “thing,” not a distinct substance or essence that makes up one part of a human being. To say that a person has free will is not the same as saying that a person has a body—or a spirit or soul.
 
2 Corinthians 5:15, which states, "He died for all, that those who live should no longer live for themselves but for him who died for them and was raised again"

15 And He died for all, so that all those who live might live no longer to and for themselves, but to and for Him Who died and was raised again for their sake.
 
2 Corinthians 5:15, which states, "He died for all, that those who live should no longer live for themselves but for him who died for them and was raised again"

15 And He died for all, so that all those who live might live no longer to and for themselves, but to and for Him Who died and was raised again for their sake.
That all that He died for in this passage, it results in them living unto him who died with them.

I gave it to you.

You refuse to read it.

You are afraid to read it

From the Greek Interlinear above where we are all told "
  • “All” (Greek pántōn) is universal and unqualified.
AND YOU CAN SEE FROM THE GREEK QUOTED BELOW WHERE THIS WORD IS FOUND....

WAIT... YOU DO NOT HAVE TO READ IT... JUST MATCH IT UP WITH THE DEFINITION.
2 Cor 5:

The for love - of Christ compels us having concluded this that One for

pantōn
apethanen ara hoi pantes apethanon
πάντων ἀπέθανεν , ἄρα οἱ πάντες ἀπέθανον .

all has died therefore - all have died


Compels us having concluded this that One (Christ) for all has died.
NWT

. 14 For the love the Christ has compels us, because this is what we have concluded, that one man died for all;+ so, then, all had died. 15 And he died for all so that those who live should live no longer for themselves,+ but for him who died for them and was raised up

Even the NWT has that "so that".... which has the stipulation " who live should live no longer for themselves,+ but for him who died"

But dont you worry... I am tired of beating_dead_horse_smiley.gif and will turn this convo over to someone who is far smarter then I am and hopefully to a rabbi, priest, ordained minister, or Pope who may have a magic touch to get you to understand.

In the meantime... once again I will see if the Holy Spirit will allow me to put you on ignore, since He blocked it the last time I tried many days ago.
