I like that you pick up on the idea there is substitution taking place at the cross and it is those crucifying Christ that are actually standing in for us and not Christ Himself being our substitute (this is a much bigger subject for another time).
I wasn't saying that. We are all guilty because we are all sinners, while Christ has taken punishment for all who are saved.
Let me ask you this: Christ asked God to forgive all those ignorant people involved in His crucifixion so did forgiveness of this sin fully occur for all involved and if not why not?
I think that Jesus, from cross, pleaded for people of all times, and said that people of all times don't know what they are doing. Including you and me. I don't think God's words are limited to one narrow context, to the exclusion of all others.
Having said that, even if Jesus is pleading for each and every person who ever lived and will live, which certainly isn't exclusive reading of those words in larger context, that doesn't mean that His plea is fulfilled, as is evident from rest of the Bible. Jesus prayed three times: "My Father, if it is possible, may this cup be taken from me." But even though Jesus, the Son of God, prayed three times, God the Father didn't took a cup of crucifixion from Jesus. Jesus is praying, but God the Father is performing His will. After Jesus gets to perform judgement, though, we can read in Revelation what kind of judgements Jesus pours down on earth.
Ultimately, Jesus is performing the will of God the Father. "For I have come down from Heaven not to do my will but to do the will of Him who sent me." (John 6:38)
Again the free will choice is not between Heaven and Hell (no one wants to go to hell). Heaven is the by-product of accepting and having Godly type Love. Wouldn’t you see that choice of heaven or hell, to be like a shotgun wedding with God holding the shotgun, forcing us to choose heaven?
I think your answer is completely disingenuous. A lot of people don't believe that Heaven and hell even exist. So they absolutely don't care for hell, nor are they afraid of it, since they don't believe in it one bit. If they were convinced that other realm, as explained through the Bible, exists, I am sure many many more people would be saved. If free will is reality, that is. After said tour, many would be open to find a way to accept and have Godly type Love, as you say. That's no "shotgun wedding" type of situation, it's providing people with full disclosure so that during their life on earth they can work out their faith and heart, or not, if they choose so on their free will.
You have some chutzpah to write that in "free will universe" tour of Heaven and hell would have no effect on one's faith and decision to clean his or her heart and accept God.
You seem to not understand man’s earthly objective and God’s objective as it relates to man?
"You don't understand", like similar "you don't study the Bible", are just empty insults. Atheists, by the way, like to use "you don't understand" when they argue about evolution and stuff.
In Isaiah 43 God says: "Bring my sons from afar, and my daughters from the ends of the earth, everyone who is called by my name, whom I created for my glory, whom I formed and made.”
As far as Bible reveals, purpose for human is to glorify God. But some humans glorify God by being set up as "vessels prepared for destruction":
"Does not the potter have the right to make from the same lump of clay one vessel for special occasions and another for common use? What if God, intending to show His wrath and make His power known, bore with great patience the vessels of His wrath, prepared for destruction? What if He did this to make the riches of His glory known to the vessels of His mercy, whom He prepared in advance for glory—including us, whom He has called not only from the Jews, but also from the Gentiles?" (Romans 9:21-24)
What is the objective of humans spending any time here on earth as compared to us all going to heaven directly? Does earthly man bring greater glory to God by his wonderful behavior on earth as compared to his behavior in heaven?
I have an idea why humans are not created directly in Heaven, but Bible isn't clear on that, apart from glorifying part, which in fact is not full answer to the question. So I have a guess, and it's certainly not for us to exercise our free will and show to God how wise and good we are in believing in Him. Do you boast before God with your "wonderful behavior on earth", which evidently has starting point in your free will? Is your "wonderful behavior on earth" yours or did God give it to you? "For who makes you different from anyone else? What do you have that you did not receive? And if you did receive it, why do you boast as though you did not?" (1 Corinthians 4:7)
Anyway, I don't want to give you what I think is the reason why we are born on earth and not directly in Heaven. I already wrote a lot while you completely lost me with what I find an absolutely disingenuous answer about tour of Heaven and hell having no effect on one's faith and decision to truly accept God in "free will universe".
Unless you retract that answer, and acknowledge that such tour would probably have a positive qualitative impact on salvation in "free will universe", I will not continue this with you. I am certainly not going to go back and forth with one who would be so bent to prove his point to actually write complete nonsense.
