Do you have any real life example of anyone actually "saved"? Do you know of anyone in the history ever "saved"?
I have been saved from the idea that many people will be tormented for eternity. I used to believe in eternal torment, but now I see the error of my ways.
I didn't ask you to look up ransom themes. And even if I did some of those verses were not even related to ransom.
After God ransomed Israel from Egypt they were all freed from bondage to slavery. Every Israelite ransomed was freed.
(Exo 13:13) Yet every male opening up a donkey shall you ransom with a flockling, and should you not ransom it then you will break its neck. Yet every firstborn of a human among your sons shall you ransom.
(Exo 13:15) When it came to be that Pharaoh was obstinate to dismiss us, then Yahweh killed every firstborn in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of human unto the firstborn of beast. Therefore I am sacrificing to Yahweh all the males opening up the womb; yet I am ransoming every firstborn of my sons.
(Num 18:15) Every male opening up the womb of all flesh which they may bring near to Yahweh of human and of beast shall be yours. Only you shall ransom, yea ransom the firstborn of humans, and the firstborn of an unclean beast shall you ransom.

What are these "types" pointing to? Christ. Note, especially, the last sentence of verse 15 above bolded.
(Exo 21:8) If she is displeasing in the eyes of her lord, who has appointed her for himself, then he will let her be ransomed. To a foreign people he shall not rule to sell her because of his treachery with her.

(Num 3:49) So Moses took the silver of the ransoms from the superfluity, those over the ones ransomed by the Levites.
(Num 3:51) And Moses gave the silver of the ransoms to Aaron and to his sons at the bidding of Yahweh, just as Yahweh had instructed Moses.
(Num 35:31) Nor shall you take a sheltering ransom for the soul of the murderer, who stands condemned to die; for he shall be put to death, yea death.
(Num 35:32) And no sheltering ransom shall you take for one who had fled to his city of asylum only to return to dwell in the land before the death of the great priest.

The case is quite clear, all mankind have been ransomed by Christ, therefore God will have all mankind to be saved (1 Timothy 2:4-6).
I don't see how any of this is tied into your theology. These are types and shadows of Christ, spoken from and about His people and for those who have faith in Him. No one denies that He ransomed all mankind, but IT IS CLEAR THAT FAITH MUST BE PROFESSED IN ORDER TO BE THE RECIPIENT OF THE BLESSINGS OF ABRAHAM. Why can't you address Romans 10:9? Why? Because you cannot, and will not, because it destroys everything you preach.
Mankind is ransomed. Mankind must have faith in Christ for the propitation to be made effective. These are sound scriptural themes. And you deny them. UR is a false doctrine.

Sorry but that is not how ransom works in the Bible.
1 Timothy 2:4-6 does not say that "God will have all mankind to be saved because Christ ransomed all mankind as long as all mankind chooses to believe they were ransomed."
Show me one Scripture from all those I posted on ransom that an animal or human is given a choice to be freed AFTER they are ransomed. Just one will do.
Sorry but that is not how ransom works in the Bible.
1 Timothy 2:4-6 does not say that "God will have all mankind to be saved because Christ ransomed all mankind as long as all mankind chooses to believe they were ransomed."
Again, 1 Tim 2:4-6 does not imply that God is going to save all mankind.
This has been addressed before, and you are wrong.

To what purpose? You proved yourself wrong by eisegetically imposing this whole idea onto the text. The scriptures, better yet, the Gospel and the entire New testament proves you wrong. It must take faith FOR THAT RANSOM TO BE MADE EFFECTIVE. That is the message of the gospel. The whole purpose of it entirely. To tell man, that he has been freed, and he must have faith in that sacrifice, TO BE MADE OF ANY EFFECT.

Not really. I am right. Because Christ ransomed all mankind all mankind must be freed. Freed from what? Freed from sin and death. Do you think God will have them to be damned because Christ ransomed them?

No, the proof is there. One who is ransomed MUST be freed. I didn't make up the rules, God did. I must believe God. Or are you now going to say God was wrong too?
FOR THAT RANSOM TO BE MADE EFFECTIVE God has to free them into His salvation!
Part of the good new gospel is this:
Rom 8:21 "that the creation itself, also, shall be freed from the slavery of corruption into the glorious freedom of the children of God."
And why must everyone in creation be freed? Surely this is not talking about trees and weeds. They must be freed from slavery because they were RANSOMED. Whether they have to believe it or not is beside the point.
When we liberated Kuwait from Sadam did the people of Kuwait have to believe they were liberated to be liberated? We paid a heavy price to free them.
Suppose a young boy is in a box in the ground with just an hour left of oxygen. He's been kidnapped. His rich uncle paid his ransom and so the police go to where he's been buried. Do the police say: "Your uncle paid your ransom but you have to believe. If you don't believe we can't free you. Well, what do you say?" Since they don't hear anything it is their duty (according to sciotamicks theology) to abandon the young boy even though the ransom has been paid. Is that how it works, sciota?
I asked you to "Show me one Scripture from all those I posted on ransom that an animal or human is given a choice to be freed AFTER they are ransomed" and you replied: "To what purpose?" And I must reply: For the purpose of proving to yourself you are patently wrong.
Not really. I am right. Because Christ ransomed all mankind all mankind must be freed. Freed from what? Freed from sin and death. Do you think God will have them to be damned because Christ ransomed them?
Then I turn you to 1 Cor 15 and Revelation 21, where those in the New Jerusalem are free from sin and death. Your theology is not consistent with the scripture. Secondly, did you ever answer when this other new earth is etc?

Are you going to say God was wrong in Romans 10:9? Answer it! Deal with this verse!

Rom 8:13 For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live.
Usurped again.

And I point you to Romans 10:9 again, among others, but we will keep hammering this in until you deal with it.

Has nothing to do with God or theology of the scripture. So save me your extra Biblical reasonings and philosophy.
Stick to the Bible for confirmation.

Because you failed once again between physical manifestations and spiritual realities in that all thiose texts pointed to Christ and have nothing to do with your inconsistent theology. All those text pointed to Israel, chosen people, saints, and people who had FAITH!
Show me a scripture in the OT where the heathen are redeemed for no faith in God. Also show me in the New Testament where it shows that one doesn't need to profess their faith in God, and abstain form the truth to be saved from death.
I have been saved from the idea that many people will be tormented for eternity. I used to believe in eternal torment, but now I see the error of my ways.
He got it right. He denounced such nonsense faith, then of course he is a free man again (he wasn't born with those nonsense before Sunday schools, now he's free again.) -- free of religious coercion.

Rom 10:9
That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
Phl 2:11
and that every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
There you go ... Everyone will confess Jesus is lord, and everyone will be saved.

Just like Jesus said to Thomas, who had to SEE to believe, "Because you have seen me, you have believed; blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed!"
(We haven't seen Christ. We just have to believe what people have been telling us for 2000 years)
Those with the faith or Abraham are the ELECT! They will be used for a special purpose. ESPECIALLY saved!
