I quoted scripture. You quote basically yourself. Take your pick.

This is for you WG; Jesus did not pick up all the sins of the world.

Yes, He did. He "picked up" (died on the cross for) everyone's sins.

Not everybody wants to be saved.

That might be true, but their sins are forgiven and they are saved once they ask for forgiveness and for Jesus to come into their hearts and lives.

Not everybody is willing to give up their sin. Give everything that you treasure (which is sin) here in this world, You must give it to Jesus. Trust in Jesus, once you give up all your treasure, he will turn it into Gold.Go to the Cross, look at the man on the cross and you will immediately see why we call him sin.

That makes absolutely no sense.

Those who reject Christ have their sins forgiven and are saved whether they like it or not? Someone should have told Jesus that. He told people that unless they believe in him, they will die in their sins. He spoke of a wide path that leads to destruction and said that many will take that path. The promise of salvation is for those who believe in him according to John 3:16.

Where did you get this idea of universal salvation from? It is clearly not in the Bible.

Ah, you edited your post. It’s better now. Not completely accurate, but better.

It's not easy to watch the soap opera, "Days of Our Lives", and keep one's wits handy while posting here.

At my age, just keeping my wits handy is by itself a chore, even with no distractions at all.
