Christ died for MANY...not ALL...has nothing to do with mankind as a whole! How many times do I have to say this! Sometimes I feel like I am talking to a bunch of kids! Stay with the themes....and if you all can't have a multi layered conversation....why are you engaging me at all?
I am a Full Preterist. This soteriological statement was directed SOLELY at the Israel under the death sentence of Adam. The MANY are the elect, are the dead ones sleeping in paradise, the firstfruits and on and on.
They are the few.
From that redemption, their eschatological resurrection drew near.
Nonsense. I have done the scholarship (as you or your mentors have) and in the end it is pointless. God would NOT require that anyone be capable of extensive scholarship to understand the twists and turns and elaborations your mentors have produced for your sick interpretation of God and our relationship to Him. Understanding is available to all and God has "written in our hearts" all we need to know with the help of the Holy Spirit within and Jesus' commands to "love God and each other." If extensive scholarship were required to understand God and our relationship to Him . . . very few would EVER achieve it . . . and many (if not most) would get as screwed up and turned around as you and your mentors have in the process. God is love . . . just "love God and each other" period.

Your opinon really means nothing to me here, as you think half the Bible is savagely written.

Only an under-educated or uneducated person would NOT. Need I remiind you that some of these "human beings" at the time were sacrificing their own babies to be burned (alive) to the God Baal??? IF you need other reminders of the general caliber of "human beings" we are talking about . . . get more education.

The writers of the scriptures were burning babies? LOL
