That's just wrong..

The groceries were paid for.. many leave them in the cart and want no part of them..

Jesus paid a price that would cover the entire human race.. Sadly.. only a few will accept it and take it.

That explains the countless billions who haven't?
Yes.. many don't accept it or believe it.. Many don't believe that the messiah has even come. Others don't believe that Christ was much more than a prophet or teacher..

So.. yep.. that explains it.

All has been reconciled/made available, but not all are saved...

And people do not go to hell, which the bible says there are some that do, to be saved later on or after that either...

God Bless!
Totally true

Not sure what you are implying here.
I posted the scripture which support your comments here,
"Children who are not of an age that they have reached a mental maturity of being able to understand and consciously be responsible for their actions... do not go to hell...
Nor does anyone that never attains a mental ability to be held accountable for their actions and eternal place."
Romans 4:15 and Romans 5:13

The correction and restoration is not something to gain. It's something to endure.
There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. (like a conversion experience - lol)
So.. weeping and gnashing of teeth correct him and restore him? If he endures some wee bit of hell then he's all better?

Like I said.. for those who are the children of God.. they are purified by fire and some will be found with nothing more than their salvation.

Others who are not saved.. don't even make it to this point.

That last verse that I quoted, literally says the complete opposite of what you are saying. What is you explanation for that?

Hell is still "hell", if you will. And salvation is in the here and now to make even this life better. We are always accused of what you are saying. But that's not what this is about.

Hell, or whatever you want to call it, is corrective and restorative, but still extremely uncomfortable. Fortunately not forever with no hope of escape. Not a place you want to be for any length of time, but needed before you can proceed.

I have made that argument many times. If God is going to miraculously convert sinners after they have been punished why doesn't He do it here in this life or does He want to let people sin so He can punish them?

Here is something that ought to be clear to any intelligent, honest man. A word that is used to mean in one case three days and nights, in another case to mean a man's lifetime, and in still another case to mean a period of about four centuries, surely does not mean unending or eternal, no matter what English word is used to translate it. USAGE DETERMINES MEANING. Another illustration is the Aaronic priesthood. According to the King James version, Aaron and his sons were anointed as priests for ever. It says, "Their anointing shall surely be an everlasting priesthood throughout their generations" (Ex. 40:15). Yet we read in Heb. 7:11-18 that the Aaronic priesthood is CHANGED to that of Melchizedek. "Now if perfection had been attainable by the Levitical priesthood, for under it the people were given the Law, why was it further necessary that there should arise another and different kind of Priest, one after the order of Melchizedek, rather than one appointed after the order of Aaron? For when there is a CHANGE IN THE PRIESTHOOD, there is of necessity an alteration of the law concerning the priesthood as well. For it is obvious that our Lord sprang from the tribe of Judah, and Moses mentioned nothing about priests in connection with that tribe. So, a previous physical regulation and command is CANCELLED because of its weakness and ineffectiveness and uselessness" (Amplified Bible). Amazing, isn't it, that the priesthood which was ordained for ever has been CANCELLED! There would be no contradiction if the statement in Exodus were translated as it should be, "to the age throughout their generations." That is, throughout their generations AS LONG AS THAT AGE LASTED. In the Septuagint, the Greek translation of the Hebrew Scriptures which Jesus and His disciples used, the Greek word AION was the word used for the Hebrew OLAM. According to Hebrew and Greek usage, therefore, these words mean a period of time, a period of unknown length, the duration of which is determined by the fact or condition or person to which the term is applied.

No scriptural, grammatical or lexical evidence supporting any of the "conclusions" expressed in this agenda motivated writing. The writer of this article has no educational qualifications in Greek. His "conclusions" are his unsupported personal opinions. All of the writers objections can be answered with one word"hyperbole."
