RANSOM FOR MANY OR ALL ?

[douge]

1 Timothy 2:6 Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time.

Revealed to Paul, was the mystery, that the sacrificial death of Jesus was a ransom for all who would believe, both Jew and Gentile.

This mystery was not made known to the prophets of the old testament scriptures, neither to the twelve disciples. This mystery was hid in God and not made known to any before being revealed to Paul (Ephesians 3:5 Ephesians 3:9).

Matthew 20:28 Even as the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.

Mark 10:45 For even the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.

What was made known in Matthew and Mark above, was that Christ gave his life to ransom many, not all. Christ gave his life to ransom Israel alone, the many. Christ redeemed the iniquities of Israel committed under the old testament (Hebrews 9:15).

Only the mystery revealed the ransom was for all, and was only testified in due time, when revealed to Paul.

1 John 2:2

2 And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world.
KJV
God made provision in His Son for the whole world to come to Him and have the righteousness that is in His Son Jesus...
Matt 23:37

37 O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not!
KJV
 

Deut 30:19-20

19 I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live:

20 That thou mayest love the LORD thy God, and that thou mayest obey his voice, and that thou mayest cleave unto him: for he is thy life, and the length of thy days: that thou mayest dwell in the land which the LORD sware unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give them.
KJV

It has always been the desire of God that none perish
2 Peter 3:9

9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
KJV

John 3:16

[TheBlade]

A.. behold the lamb of God that takes away the sin of the? WORLD? Its very unwise to just pick a few verses you agree with and toss out the rest.

Matters not what you say or me. Its not our word...its His. And HE saves.. you don't I don't. You and me are  not GOD.. we have no say in this what so ever..

But... I give you this.. we that know Him believe in Him are His Children the others are HIS creation. And to cause one of them to fall away.. holy JESUS we WILL answer to Him.. God help those that have done this..

RANSOM FOR MANY OR ALL ?

Jesus came to ransom all, but only many will accept His salvation.

[Omegaman 3.0]

Sufficient for all, efficient for few.

“Enter through the narrow gate; for the gate is wide and the way is broad that leads to destruction, and there are many who enter through it. For the gate is narrow and the way is constricted that leads to life, and there are few who find it."

[missmuffet]

Each person on earth has an opportunity to accept the gift of ransom and atonement.
