I think it's because God so loved the world
I wasn`t talking about the vessels made for wrath. I was taking about men in general.
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:
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:
25Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it;
His People Isa 53:
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 children of the devil Jn 8:44 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.
Vessels of wrath are part of men in general. lol..

died for the Many ! -
There are many scriptures that indicate the restricted nature of Christ Death, and that is was not for all men without exception. One of the phrases that The Spirit employs is that of The Many !
Jesus spake and said in regards to His redemptive blood Matt 26:
28 For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins.
Now this word Many, , though it signifies a large number:
http://www.blueletterbible.org/lang/...gs=G4183&t=KJV
Yet it also entails a restrictive significance, which limits its application to all men without exception. Yet due to its large quantity it signifies, it can be modified by the words all or every the adjective pas, and this is where the unlearned and unstable wrest scripture and distort scripture to their own preordained destruction or condemnation.
Now in light of this, We will set forth from scripture the use of the restrictive, but of wide scope, term Many, as it relates to objects of Christ Death. Going back first to the OT in prophesy, regarding Christ death Isa 53:
11He shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied: by his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many; for he shall bear their iniquities.
12Therefore will I divide him a portion with the great, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong; because he hath poured out his soul unto death: and he was numbered with the transgressors; and he bare the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors.
Dan 9:
27And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate.
Now I know this is a debatable with some, but I believe this is referring to Christ and the Shedding of His Blood for the New Covenant. The word for confirm here the word gabar and it means " To make Strong "
Now thats what Christ did in the New Covenant when He shed His Blood for the many Heb 9:
17For a testament is of force after men are dead: otherwise it is of no strength at all while the testator liveth.
So, By His blood shed, He confirmed or gave force to the covenant for many..
The many here would be for the ingathering of the gentiles and the conversion of the elect jews post cross.
Now here are some NT references for the word Many in a context of Christ death or fruits of it. Matt 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.
So the adjective pas in 1 tim 2:6
Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time.
The all here modifies the many of Matt 20:28, because the Many here is comprised of all different races and classes opposed to just ethnic jews. But its still restricted to many as Jesus stated.
Mk 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.
Heb 2:
9But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man.
10For it became him, for whom are all things, and by whom are all things, in bringing many sons unto glory, to make the captain of their salvation perfect through sufferings.
The Many here actually clarifies who the every is in vs 9, He tasted death for the many or every son ! The word man is not in the original, it ends with pas !
Heb 9:
28So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation.
This scripture too, gives light to heb 2 9, for its the same objects of His death in both references, to taste death in Heb 2 9 is the same as being once offered here in heb 9 28, and its stated that He was offered for many, the restrictive term.
Rom 5:
15But not as the offence, so also is the free gift. For if through the offence of one many be dead, much more the grace of God, and the gift by grace, which is by one man, Jesus Christ, hath abounded unto many.
19For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous.
I believe any honest heart, made so by the Spirit of God, can see the Truth of what I am stating here, its straight from the scripture.. Christ did not die for all men without exception, that cannot be substantiated with scripture.
But his death was payment for the sins of the world.
11I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep.

i believe it is the christian way indeed to say jesus died for all.
xou:
Actually thats the non Christian way, its a lie ! I have been posting much to prove that.
He did. He "opened the door" so to speak for us all, no longer do we rely on animal sacrifices or a priest to make a way for us. That is why the veil at the temple was torn as he died.i believe it is the christian way indeed to say jesus died for all. even especially for each in an individual way.
But if you are saying that it was never God's intention for all to be saved
