I would submit brightfame52 isn't guilty of that. @Snacks, @The_Watchers_2017, @Shepherd and @kaylagrl, are.
You are interpreting 2 Pet 3:9 wrongly. 2 Pet 1:1 tells us who Peter is directing his warning to, and it is to them that have obtained like precious faith. Peter even includes himself by using the word "US-WARD". Perish = death = separation/. When we commit a sin, we separate ourselves from fellowship with God, temporary, until we repent.
Christ death is a saving death because those for whom He died, or suffered, it brings them to God. That means it effects conversion to God 1 Pet 3:18
18 For Christ also hath once suffered[or died] for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit:
Those He died for, likewise will be quickened by the Spirit. Thats what begins their conversion or being brought to God. 24

Christ did so much more than dying for sin and making Salvation possible or available to all mankind, thats such a false teaching, However what He did do for them He died for, Gods Elect, He absolutely put away their sin before God Heb 9:26
26 For then must he often have suffered since the foundation of the world: but now once in the end of the world hath he appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself.
The words put away means:
He cancelled their sins, made them non and void.
Like Daniel stated He made and end of them Dan 9:24
Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most Holy.
And so consequently, them for whom this has been done for, no charge of sin can be laid charged against them, not even unbelief/disobedience.

The words put away means:
- abolition, disannulling, put away, rejection

Christ did so much more than dying for sin and making Salvation possible or available to all mankind, that's such a false teaching, However what He did do for them He died for, Gods Elect, He absolutely redeemed them from the curse of the Law Gal 3:13
13 Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree:
Thats Salvation, for sin finds its curses because of the Law 1 Cor 15:56
The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law.
The law nor sin can condemn any sinner Christ died for.

Christ did so much more than dying for sin and making Salvation possible or available to all mankind, thats such a false teaching, However what He did do for them He died for, Gods Elect, He absolutely obtained for them eternal redemption Heb 9:12
12 Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us.
Not made it available, or merely possible, He obtained it for them, and brings them into the realization of it.
The word redemption here lutrósis:
lýtrōsis (a feminine noun) – properly, the payment of the full ransom-price to free a slave – particularly the redemption of an individual.
This redemption frees the sinner from being a slave to sin, to obeying the Truth Rom 6:17
17 But God be thanked, that ye were the servants or slave of sin, but ye have obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine which was delivered you.
God must be thanked for being made free from being a slave of sin unto obedience, because He sent Christ to obtain eternal redemption for them !

9 And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation;
To be redeemed to God is Salvation, or why the New Song ? 25

Christs saving death is saving/salvation because it gives life, and that more abundantly. Jn 10:10-11
10 The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they[Sheep] might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.
11 I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep.
Notice in Vs 10 that Jesus says specifically of His Sheep, that the reason why He came into the world was so that they might [ as in purpose] have life, not to offer life to them, but so they may have it, experience it, and that in a abundant manner. Then He gives us in Vs 11 the cause and ground of that giving them life, because He giveth His Life [meaning His substitutionary death] for them the Sheep. His death for them, ensures them having [experientially] life and that more in abundant.
That word abundantly in Vs 10 is the word perissos and means:
This is speaking of Spiritual life, so Christs death ensures the spiritual abundant life. This is also what Christ meant whe He spake these words in Jn 6:33
For the bread of God is he which cometh down from heaven, and giveth life unto the world.
The world here is not all without exception, but His Sheep World, all without distinction.

That word abundantly in Vs 10 is the word perissos and means:
- exceeding some number or measure or rank or need
- over and above, more than is necessary, superadded
- exceeding abundantly, supremely
- something further, more, much more than all, more plainly
- superior, extraordinary, surpassing, uncommon
- pre-eminence, superiority, advantage, more eminent, more remarkable, more excellent
- over and above, more than is necessary, superadded

Excuse me, but you misquoted v.15. Here it is: just as the Father knows me and I know the Father—and I lay down my life for the sheep.
he died for THE sheep. He never said He would die for HIS sheep, as your misquote indicates.
The other poster MIS-quoted John 10:15. He had "lay down My life for MY sheep" when the verse says "THE sheep".
That is a big error.

Both Faith and Repentance are the fruit of Christs Death and our reconciliation to Him. All for whom He died have been reconciled to God Rom 5:10
10 For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life.
So that reconciliation will be manifested by us returning to God, which entails Faith and Repentance. Peter writes of that here 1 Pet 2:24-25
24 Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.
25 For ye were as sheep going astray; but are now returned unto the Shepherd and Bishop of your souls.
The word returned here is the word epistrephō:
And its in the passive voice,
This is describing our conversion in Faith and repentance towards God. The saving death of Christ is responsible for our turning to God.

And its in the passive voice,
- to cause to return, to bring back
- to the love and obedience of God
- to the love for the children
- to love wisdom and righteousness

The results of the saving death of Christ is redemptive and so it effects the gathering of all Gods chosen people from around the world Ps 107:1-3
O give thanks unto the Lord, for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever.
2 Let the redeemed of the Lord say so, whom he hath redeemed from the hand of the enemy;
3 And gathered them out of the lands, from the east, and from the west, from the north, and from the south.
Remember the high priest words in Jn 11 how that Christ should die and gather the children of God scattered abroad, and not just from the nation israel ? Jn 11:50-52
50 Nor consider that it is expedient for us, that one man should die for the people, and that the whole nation perish not.
51 And this spake he not of himself: but being high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus should die for that nation;
52 And not for that nation only, but that also he should gather together in one the children of God that were scattered abroad.
See also Zech 10:8 ; Isa 43:5
This gathering together of the people of God is the fruit and success of the redemptive , saving death of Christ. 25
