Well thats just flat out untrue .and the scriptures you posted did not even come close to supporting it. In fact they refuted it.Everyone is forgiven already on account of the death of Christ who suffered and died on behalf of all.

It's what you just did in your prior post pointing out Paul's letters to a believing body and applying it to even those outside the body. Something Paul did not do

"Many are called, but few are chosen."
So Christ died only for the elect; He chose some and passes over the others. Correct?
So God's love for the world doesn't mean that God loves everyone, or that God has called everyone to repentance, or the Scripture that says it is the desire of God that all be saved, and that God is the Savior of all men; it is only for the select few that Christ came, only for the select few that Christ died; and everyone else was born as nothing more than kindling--never ever having had hope of salvation because they were outside of the great commission.

Have you not read about the flood?
I'm quite familiar.
Which is also why there is a massive difference between the flood and what Christ did. The story of the flood is the story of God "starting over" by removing wicked people from the world and beginning anew with Noah and his family; which is also why if we pay attention to the narrative we'll notice that to that end the flood was a complete failure. And it is following this that we see how God is actually going to address wickedness in the world; by calling Abram out from Ur and to give him a promise to him and his wife, naming him Abraham because he would be the father of many nations--which he becomes through the Seed of Promise Jesus Christ.
The flood is a story about how wiping out everyone and starting over won't and can't solve the problem of sin--it is instead through Abraham and his progeny that God will bring about the redemption of the world, which He does and has done through His only-begotten Son, our Lord Jesus Christ.
The cross is not the flood; the cross is the opposite of the flood; it is God coming down to suffer at the hands of sinners in order to save those sinners.

The fact that you teach easy- believism, and you attempt to muddy the waters about forgiveness tells me that you may not have the spirit of God. Some of the saints have easily connected the dots and have answered correctly. It is not hard to understand from scripture that repentance is required for the forgiveness of sins. You are among many that have entered the sheep fold by means other the the front gate.
Paul made many mistakes due to his pre-conversion life as a hater of Christianity.
Mostly, he only changed who he hated.
