Why don't Christians accept that the Bible says God will save all people?

1 timothy 2:3-4

3For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior
4Who desires all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth. 5For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus; 6Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified_ in due time ["in due time," in the Greek really means "in its own seasons" (the last word is plural — "seasons")]."

Job 23:13
13But he is unchangeable,[a] and(A) who can turn him back? What he(B) desires, that he does.







"Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we MUST be saved."

Acts 4:12

"For since by man [Adam] came death, by man [Christ Jesus] came also the resurrection of the dead. For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive."

*

1 Corinthians 15:21–22

Note the comparison in this teaching of Paul. Since it is certain that in Adam (our first parent) all men do in fact die, Paul tells us in direct comparison that in Christ (the second or last Adam), all men will indeed be made alive in a spiritual resurrection. The atonement of Christ and his propitiation for the sins of the world applies to all men who have ever lived. Christ’s death on the tree of crucifixion cleanses the whole world of their sins. The apostle John put it this way.

"And he [Christ] is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only [not only for Christians who know the truth now], but also for the sins of the whole world."

1 John 2:2


That in the dispensation of the fullness of times he [God] might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him [in Christ]."

*

Ephesians 1:10

"And, having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him [Christ] to reconcile all things unto himself, by him [Christ], I say, whether they be things in earth, or things in heaven."

*

Colossians 1:20

Indeed, so thorough will Christ be in his subduing of the universe to the Father and in making peace and harmony among all intelligent creatures, that all creatures capable of expressing their praises to God will do so.

"That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth: and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father."

*

Philippians 2:10–11
