1 If God will have all men to be saved, and if most men are lost, then how can God be supreme (1 Tim.2:3,4)?
God holds freewill supreme.
If Christ is the Propitiation for the sins of the whole world, did He die in vain for the lost (
1 John 2:2)?
Yes!
3 If God is going to reconcile the universe through Christ, how can some be tormented forever (Col. 1:20)?
No one is tormented forever.
4 How can God, in Christ, gather all things together as one while billions remain eternally estranged (Eph.1:10)?
No one is estranged from God. They are either saved or not. All the saved He gathers together.
5 If all die in Adam, and a few are made alive in Christ, how can grace much more abound than sin (Rom. 5:20)?
It overrides all sin that is repented of, it abounds above any sin, no matter how bad.
6 If all men are condemned by Adam’s offense, why are not all justified by the one just award (Rom. 5:18)?
All are able to be saved if they repent. He paid the price for all.
7 If all die in Adam, why shall not all be made alive in Christ (1 Cor. 15:22)?
Because they refuse to repent and accept Christ' atonement for them.
8 How can every knee bow confessing Christ Lord, to God’s glory, unless reconciled (Phil. 2:10,11)?
Because Christ is Lord and there is no way to deny that when it's staring you in the face!
9 If Christ only hath immortality, how can any of the dead be alive now (1 Tim. 6:14-16; 1 Cor. 15:53, 54)?
They aren't---except for those that were translated, or Christ resurrected.
Mat 27:53 And came out of the graves after his resurrection, and went into the holy city, and appeared unto many.
Mat 27:52 And the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints which slept arose,
Nothing more is said of these---or they could have been taken to heaven with Christ, maybe they died again, nobody knows.
10 If the wicked go to hell as soon as they die, why are they raised and judged later (Rev. 20:11-15)?
Because they don't go to hell upon death either.
11 Since the lake of fire is the second death, what happens to the wicked when death is destroyed (1 Cor.15:26)?
Nothing, they are destroyed, they are ashes. The cease to exist.
12 If “forever” means “eternity” what does “forever and ever” mean?
Depends on context---it can mean until death.
13 If God is Love and has all power, will He not find away to save all (1 Tim. 4
He saves all that accept Him and repent.
14 If Christ is to reign for ever and ever, what does it mean that He will abdicate His throne (Rev. 11:15; 1 Cor. 15:24)?
Rev 11:15 And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The
kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever.
1Co 15:24 Then cometh the end,
when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power.
He doesn't abdicate---they rule together.
15 Will God ever actually become All in all (1 Cor.15:28)? -V.E. Jacobson-
1Co 15:28
And when all things shall be subdued unto him, then shall the Son also himself be subject unto him that put all things under him, that God may be all in all.
It says right there---when all things shall be subdued unto Him---That's after the 2nd death, after the earth is remade.
