If I were a gambler. why would I want to involve myself with someone using a stacked deck?

I spent an hour or so answering your first post only to be wasted. If I thought your posts were true according to the rest of the scripture, I would have them in my library.

Again, if Jesus died for the sins of the world, meaning every person as you think, why do most perish?

But they erode the bible making it untrustworthy.

Scripture does not contradict itself. But these doctrines contradict you. They don't contradict Luther either. But he's from a bygone era.

Did Jesus say he died for his sheep? Yes or no? Did he tell the Pharisees they are not his sheep? yes or no? Did he tell the Pharisees the reason they do not believe is because they are not his sheep? yes? or no? Does this mean they do not believe because he did not die for them? yes? or no?

I must have an answer to John 10 before I entangle my self in your longer posts.

How can Jesus pay for a person's sin and he not be saved? Are you saying, God, is not above board on this?

You still have not answered how Jesus told the Pharisees in John 10 that he did not die for them, and that is why they cannot believe. This destroys all that you think about Christ's atonement.

Let's try one more time. God is spirit and so are heaven and the universe. The universe can be trillions of years old but invisible. But some 6-7000 years ago, God created time, space, and matter, making the invisible universe visible. So you can now see the trillions of years visibly. So the...

If only the elect are saved, why would Christ die for those destined to hell?

World means several different things. You are forcing the wrong meaning onto it. If Christ paid for the sins of the world meaning each person, why do they pay for their sins in hell?

It could be trillions and trillions of years old in its invisible state but clothed upon and made visible by the creation of matter some 6-7000 years ago.

No, it could be trillions of years now unfolding as God's eternal decree. More yet to unfold until the universe explodes on the last day according to Peter. But made visible being clothed upon with the creation of matter some 6-7000 years ago. Possibly trillions of years becoming visible as...

I don't know if this will do you any good. Nor do I swear it is true. But it is one way I harmonize pagan science with scripture. https://christianityhaven.com/threads/yec-compatible-with-old-earth.12621/#post-229105

Predestination according to the Westminster Confession Chapter Three. 1. God from all eternity did, by the most wise and holy counsel of his own will, freely and unchangeably ordain whatsoever comes to pass; yet so as thereby neither is God the author of sin,b nor is violence offered to the...

Westminster Confession Chapter three: Election Limits the Atonement 1. God from all eternity did, by the most wise and holy counsel of his own will, freely and unchangeably ordain whatsoever comes to pass; yet so as thereby neither is God the author of sin,b nor is violence offered to the will...

If Jesus died for the sins of this world, as you say, why aren't all saved? Wouldn't that include the sin of unbelief too?

So why are not all saved if Jesus paid for the sins of all he supposedly died for?

Not a word about universal atonement in the entire Bible. Scripture only teaches Limited Atonement. But you saw the scriptures apart, trying to paint a new doctrine far removed from their context. Did you ever figure out how to get around John 10? Where Jesus tells the Pharisees he didn't die...
