why did Jesus' sacrifice only count for those who accept Jesus as savior? Such discrimination wouldn't even be legal in most democracies, and we humans certainly don't encourage such exclusive arrangements....if you're gonna bring gum to school, you've gotta bring enough for everyone.

That's just not true! Jesus died to save us all, believers and non- believers. Whoever told you otherwise was mistaken. God loves us all even if you don't him to. It's not something you can change. As for forgiveness, if you want to be forgiven you have to ask for it. Like anything else in life if want something you've gotta ask for it.

If somebody was giving away free TVs but said under one condition. You have to come and get it. Would that upset you. God is kind enough to forgive, All you have to do is go get it. John 1:12

God gives everyone the choice of whether to accept Jesus or reject him. God will not force anybody into obedience, but he will take action against those who choose to disobey.

God judges everyone according to their station/circumstances in life. We are not born with perfect knowledge, nor are we taught by perfect people. For those who know, in perfect knowledge, and still reject Him,...well, God won't force those people to be with Him if they don't want to. Of course His deepest wish is for us all to enjoy His company, and He to enjoy ours. That's why, in spite of the worst story, He's got this fountain of mercy that is endless...

Jesus died on the cross for everyone, but you have to accept it. If I offered to pay a debt you incurred, you have to accept it. I can't force it on you. If I offend you and I want to make amends, I have to apologize and ask for forgiveness, otherwise it's meaningless to me. If a person doesn't want God in eternity, then he can live without him.

God has forgiven everyone. You just have to accept Him and His forgiveness.

well, you see, he DID provide for all to be forgiven... the problem is that many people choose to not be forgiven, they choose to not accept that gift... God is not going to force it upon them... they need to choose. Stop blaming God for something these people refuse to do....
it is funny how people always come back to blaming God when it is their choice all along...
