Then you dont have a leg to stand on for debate !
I can't understand any of your rambling.

1 John 2:2
Are "ours" the "whole world's?"
The Shepherd and Sheep share one Life, like as a Husband and Wife !
Thats why Paul wrote Col 3:4
4 When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory.
So, His Life in Rom 5:10
10 For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life.
It is really, Our Life, and that Life because its theirs as well as His, must be communicated to them 1 Cor 15:45
45 And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit.
As Adam's life and death was theirs, so likewise Christ's[The Last Adam] Life, Death, and Life again is theirs ! And they shall all be saved by that Life, which we know all without exception shall not be !
Beloved57 is a hyper-Calvinist, so I doubt that his answer will make much sense to you.
I believe that Jesus did die for all men in this way:
The works that he did on earth and after he arose from the dead is exactly what all men need to be glorified eternally. In that way he died for all men.
Yet, Adam and all men descending from him are the ones who brought on or bring on the exceptions due to their gift of free will.
Adam perverted all of creation including his descendents. Therefore, God, with his ability to KNOW all ... knows who will be called and who will choose not to acknowledge him. This makes it seem like HE was not willing to die for all men. He was willing ... all men are not.
Another popular Myth in the religious world today, is the Jesus Christ died or gave His Life for everyone in the world without exception, but the problem with that, is there is not one shred of scripture evidence that states that.
The scripture however does say that He died for His Sheep or His Church as per Jn 10:11,15
11I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep.
15As the Father knoweth me, even so know I the Father: and I lay down my life for the sheep.
Eph 5:25
25Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it;
His People Isa 53:8
8He was taken from prison and from judgment: and who shall declare his generation? for he was cut off out of the land of the living: for the transgression of my people was he stricken. cp Matt 1:21
Now, are all without exception His Sheep ? No
Are all without exception His Church ? No
Are all without exception His People ? No
For surely the seed of the serpent Gen 3:15 cannot be of His Sheep, His Church, or His People.
So why does the religous world proclaim that Jesus Christ died for all men without exception, when they have no scripture proof ? Because it is a Myth.
Jesus died for the sins of the whole world.
1 John 2:2 King James Version (KJV)
2 And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world.
Pretty simple huh.
