If GOD already paid the cost of our salvation, does it mean we are all save before Doomsday? If that's the case then we did no input in this "battle" because were here but it is indeed predetermined where we willl be heading... in paradise with Jesus. Right?

he paid the price of our sin as a gift of Grace but we have to accept it. those who deny him will lose that gift of salvation.

Let's straighten out a few things, although your end thought is quite correct....
There was no cost for "salvation", there never was a need to "be saved"...from what? Hell? A Demon? Englebert Humperdink? LOL
We all possess a piece of a highly evolved being...it is often called your spirit, your soul. NOw why would this being send parts of itself anywhere else when their time here is over but back from whence it came? Where would the sense of such be? Especially someplace of everlasting turmoil headed up by some big, horned, beasty type thing?
If you think on that, you will come to the truthful conclusion that there is nowhere else to go but Home...for everyone.

The Bible tells that Jesus made the sacrifice of his perfect human life as a replacement for our ancestor, Adam. However, it does not say, that we have no further responsibility -- just sit back and enjoy the benefits of his sacrifice. Every individual person must act on his faith in this regard (James 2:26) and do his utmost to help others to come to an accurate knowledge of God's loving provision so they can act on theirs. A true Christian, once he really understands this provision cannot keep it a secret -- it burns inside him and just has to be told. Even the angels participate in this work and we count it a priviledge to share with them.

Jesus paid for our salvation.No not everyone will be saved.You either accept his payment for sin which is the Son .Or you go to Hell .It's as simple as that.No it's not predetermined.God gave his Son for all not for a chosen few. The best thing everyone can do is get into a bible believing church and make sure they know where they are going when life here is over

Wrong.
You are confusing doomsday with the end times.
The cost of salvation is not measured in dollars and cents, it is measured in promises, God promise to send a redeemer. Like most prophets, this redeemer was executed by the hands of the Romans at the request of the Jews.

Honey, if you try to apply logic to religious matters, you will just twist your mind into a pretzel and fall down your own naval like down a rabbit hole.
The way I understand it, Jesus died for your sins, but you must "opt in" to the class action in order to benefit from it. Personally, I do not buy the entire shtick. It seems to imply either that you can continue to sin all you want, because it's pre-paid, or that you are OK if you die right after you confess your sins and accept Jesus's sacrifice for you, but dog meat if you commit another sin and then die before you get to the confessional.
If that sound irreverent, it is nothing to the things my Catholic cousins-in-law told me when I was going to catechism class when I converted to marry my first husband. Since I divorced him, and divorced the Catholic Church at the same time, I guess they figure I'm doomed whatever I do from now on.

I think you are catching on.
There are those who are called and those who are not.
There are the wheat and the tares.
The determination is God's alone.
There is a verse that struck me after being called.
It is this one.
Rom 9:16 So then it does not depend on the man who wills or the man who runs, but on God who has mercy.
It is up to Him.
From Him to us, not from us to Him.
There is such a thing as predestination.

WELL THE PEOPLE THAT GIVE THIER LIFE TO JESUS CHRIST WILL BE IN PARADISE. JUST BECAUSE GOD DIED ON THE CROSS DOESN'T MEAN THAT EVERYONE IS GOING TO HEAVEN. SOME PEOPLE ALREADY ARE IN HELL RIGHT NOW. IT TAKES A RELATIONSHIP WITH JESUS CHRIST.ASK FOR FORGIVENESS FOR YOUR SINS AND ACCEPT JESUS INTO YOUR HEART. THE ANSWER IS NO, EVERYONE WILL NOT GO TO PARADISE

Sin is never going to be separating us from God in eternity because Jesus dealt with sin on the cross. We are saved if we accept His gift ad accept Jesus to be our Lord ad Savior. So, we all have the choice to make. : )
We have a free will, let's use it wisely. : )

God's Son paid the price for salvation. Now it is up to you and every one of us to accept that invitation and live for Him. He paid the price, but He allows us to choose which way to go.

All those Christians think that us non-believers actually want to hang with their God in paradise. When you die you get put in a great big fire or under a great big heap of dirt. You might call that paradise - I call it being dead.
