I don't believe in OSAS, but that is for another thread.

That's one of the many things they don't understand about the sacrifice of Jesus.

Ask God.

And I didn't ask whether how you "feel" has any bearing. I asked if you love those "many" who you see as being eternally tormented, eternally useless, etc.
And I told you that it is irrelevent as to whether or not it has any bearing on the existence of hell. The question is designed to appeal to subjective emotionalism which is what universalists prefer rather than the objective truth of the word of God.

That's a little catch phrase somebody made up, that makes self-centered people even more self-centered. That's nowhere in the bible. If I'm wrong, quote the verse, please. I guess it's next to the one that says our picture is on His refrigerator.

I wasn't sure whether you believed that, or that we are responsible for our own salvation. Jesus' sacrifice isn't necessary if we can save ourselves by keeping our salvation, so I don't know why you think Jesus assuring everyone's salvation makes Him unnecessary.

So, freeing all mankind from death and sin isn't grand enough? I'm glad God didn't feel that way.

Complete nonsense.What part of Him paying the price for EVERYONE can't you grasp?It isn't really all that hard.In fact,He would have had to pay it for everyone at that time,since He was only crucified once.He is not recrucified each time someone else accepts Him,now is He?So then,what UR's are saying is that His sacrifice applies to everyone without them having to ask,while in your theology the price has already been paid for everyone,but they must ask for the gift or it goes to waste.
