Come on now, Jesus taught them and Paul !

How silly. The Bible is the way Jesus sees things. That is the whole point.

As I pointed out before it is an emphasis on what you think rather than what the Bible says. Make it say whatever you want: it changes nothing. You also gave no Biblical basis for a figurative interpretation, only your personal opinion. Forgive me if I ignore it.

What pablum. What I believe has no bearing on any outcome as to the destiny of the world.

"For God loved the world so much that he gave his only-begotten Son, in order that everyone exercising faith in him might not be destroyed but have everlasting life. ...yes as John 3;16 says ,God loves the world of mankind so much that he has arranged a way to everlasting life. and Jesus his son plays a very very big part in that purpose. when the time comes for Jehovah and Jesus to go into action , those who have refused to exersize faith will be destroyed or cutt-off from the blessings for the future, but at the end of the day they will want it that way. they will have made their choice.

How do you think He is able to reach those who lived in parts of the world where Christianity did not exist at the time?

Aren't you being just a little bit picky here?

"...that whosoever believeth in him..."

What do you believe it means to exercise faith?

Yeah, rightly dividing the truth you have to be picky. Faith is given to the elect in order that they will come to realize the things freely given to them by God. Its not as you imply a meritous act that man does to get saved. Those believing in christ have been given the gift of faith to realize their salvation.

Actually, you can be non-judgmental. It can actually work to your advantage.

I see. And what about those He didn't pick?

What I have implied? Don't you mean what you have read into my answer?
