The Restitution Of All Things

Theos Equation =

“For as by one man's disobedience many were constituted sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be constituted righteous.”

Many = polus

Note:

Polus is NOT tis.

Tis = some.

All = all...some = some...many = many

Both sides of our Lords equation are equal.

Let's compare it to your #3 where you wrote:
"The Divine Equation =

"Therefore as by the offence of one judgment came upon all men to condemnation; even so by the righteousness of one the free gift came upon all men unto justification of life. For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous."

Note

1. Condemnation upon the radical pas of "all mankind."

Result = "many made sinners."

2. Justification of life upon the many made sinners through the obedience of One making the identical polus "righteous."

Two heads one outcome

Adam1 = many made sinners.

Last Adam = many made righteous.

All = all...many = many...some = some....many = many."


It's the same extact stuff.
Finally: stop repeating yourself again and again!
It's not Fox News here.

Plan A = Theos Version

“For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of One shall many be made righteous.”

New Modern Version =

For as by one man's disobedience [some] were made sinners, so by the obedience of One shall [some] be made righteous.

Plan A Theos Version =

"This is a trustworthy saying, worthy of full acceptance. To this end we labor and strive, because we have set our hope on the living God, who is the Savior of everyone, and especially of those who believe. Command and teach these things."

Modern Day Version =

This is a trustworthy saying, worthy of full acceptance. To this end we labor and strive, because we have set our hope on the living God, who is the Savior of [only those who believe]...Command and teach these things.

Questions =

Would it be unjust for God to be kind to all men after death?

If all men justly deserve endless punishment, will not those who are saved, be saved unjustly?

If God "will by no means clear the guilty," by what means can just punishment be evaded?

Since no man can measure endless punishment to his neighbor, will endless punishment be measured to him?

Would it be merciful of God to inflict endless punishment?

Can that be just which is not merciful?

Do not cruelty and injustice go hand in hand?

Can that be merciful which is not just?

The love of the Lord never ceases, it is new every morning, bathed in steadfast.

Steadfast =


Fixed in direction.

Firm in purpose & resolution.

Unwavering.

Additional Questions =

Can the pleasure of the Almighty God be contrary to His determined will?

Would the infliction of endless misery afford pleasure to the Lord & why?

Can God be glorified by that which gives Him no pleasure?

God "declares the end from the beginning," can the final destiny of mankind be contrary to His will?

Can endless misery be brought about contrary to the good pleasure of the Almighty?

Can God will anything contrary to His knowledge?

To know the true and living God ‘out of Whom all is’ is to recognize that His purpose for His creatures can only be loving, wise, righteous, and good.

God’s purpose will NOT fail!

God is the Saviour of all mankind.

The koine "Especially" does not mean only!

"Only" = monos = alone, solitary.

"Especially" = malista = most of all/ above all.

"God is the Saviour of all mankind, especially those who believe/ trust in Him. Command and teach."

The present life is the initial stage of human training, NOT its conclusion.

The vast majority of mankind has not so much as heard of Christ.

Over 15,000 children under age 5 die worldwide (every day of every year.)

There are some of mankind worldwide are lunatic, or half witted, many wholly uneducated.

Many grow up in virtual heathenism, (from no fault of their own), or are born in a state where evil surroundings aggravate evil tendencies, inherited and innate.

Are these untold myriads of these hapless creatures first to hear of Christ at the day of judgment?

Are we forced to suppress a very large part of Scripture which clearly hold out a promise of universal restitution, or at least imply a distinct hope for all ?

The whole of created life shall be delivered and set free from bondage.

The Year of Jubilee

“The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, and he has anointed me to be hope for the poor, freedom for the brokenhearted, and new eyes for the blind, and to preach to prisoners, ‘You are set free!’ I have come to share the message of Jubilee, for the time of God’s great acceptance has begun.” -tpt-

The glad/good tidings are good in character & constitution. Jesus Christ declares release/ deliverance to those taken captives by the spear (captured). His recovery is one of restoration to health & salvation for the bruised and broken of sin.

Good tidings = agathos

Release = apolvo

Captives = archmalotus

Recovery = sozo

Bruised = suntribo

Turn back. Return back. Come back.

To be restored/ returned.

"He pre-destined us to be adopted by Himself as sons through Jesus Christ—such being His gracious will and pleasure— to the praise of the splendour of His grace with which He has enriched us in the beloved One. It is in Him, and through the shedding of His blood, that we have our deliverance—the forgiveness of our offences—so abundant was God's grace, the grace which He, the possessor of all wisdom and understanding, lavished upon us, when He made known to us the secret of His will. And this is in harmony with God's merciful purpose for the government of the world when the times are ripe for it—the purpose which He has cherished in His own mind of restoring the whole creation to find its one Head in Christ; yes, things in Heaven and things on earth, to find their one Head in Him."

Secret = kruptos =

Hidden.

Inwardly hidden within Himself.

"He chose us to be his very own, joining us to himself even before he laid the foundation of the universe! Because of his great love, he ordained us, so that we would be seen as holy in his eyes with an unstained innocence.

For it was always in his perfect plan to adopt us as his delightful children, through our union with Jesus, the Anointed One, so that his tremendous love that cascades over us would glorify his grace—for the same love he has for his Beloved One, Jesus, he has for us.

And this unfolding plan brings him great pleasure!

Since we are now joined to Christ, we have been given the treasures of redemption by his blood—the total cancellation of our sins—all because of the cascading riches of his grace... And through the revelation of the Anointed One, he unveiled his secret desires to us—the hidden mystery of his long-range plan, which he was delighted to implement from the very beginning of time. And because of God’s unfailing purpose, this detailed plan will reign supreme through every period of time until the fulfillment of all the ages finally reaches its climax—when God makes all things new in all of heaven and earth through Jesus Christ." -TPT-

Revelation 5:13 =

Every created thing (παν κτισμα — pān ktisma).

Every creature in a still wider antiphonal circle beyond the circle of angels, from all the four great fields of life (in heaven, upon the earth, under the earth).

No created thing is left out.

This universal chorus of praise to Christ from all created life, in hope of freedom from the bondage of corruption.

If the trail of the serpent is on all creation, it will be ultimately thrown off.
