Wrong assumption=wrong conclusion.
We will see at the Judgment !

You failed to prove anything just given your own private interpretation. The word 'Kosmos' is used 187 times in the NT and you have not shown one instance where it means the elect only in context.
Another problem is that the atonement is not a literal payment/commercial transaction

Yes, you will see that hyper-Calvinism was wrong, but we will stand together, brothers in Christ saved by grace through faith, not theological perfection.
You are going to find out that man was saved by Grace through Faith and not by works.
If it meant Christ died for all men, that would logically lead to either all men being saved, or God being an unjust God who will punish the same sins twice.
No it doesn't
Salvation is a gift, and it is offered to all men.
Paul explicitly states this
You still have to accept the gift
Eph. 2:8-10; Titus 3:5; Rom. 4-5
I already know this core gospel truth. Your wrongly think that non-Calvinistic faith is a work (nope).
He came to save a specific people, not all mankind without exception.
Who desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth. (1 Timothy 2:4)
What scripture says Salvation is a gift offered to every man ?
I'm not sure if the Scripture says that
but if it did it wouldn't contradict Calvinistic predestination at all.
Matt 22:14 teaches that there are people who are called (The gospel is offered to them) but nonetheless, they cannot accept it.
The gospel was still preached to the non-elect, but they cannot believe it.
Saying that the gift of salvation is offered to all doesn't mean all are capable of accepting it.

Jesus also says that he tells parables so that those who aren't the elect will not understand. The gospel was still preached to the non-elect, but they cannot believe it.
