Jesus was a sacrifice to God, for God's acceptance, for the sins of those that God gave him. Jesus's sacrifice was offered to God, for God's acceptance, and not to mankind, for mankind's acceptance.
The natural unregenerate man will not accept the things of the Spirit, and thinks they are foolishness, until he has been born again, with the indwelling of the Holy Spirit.

God gave mankind the freedom to make choices in the way he wants to live his life, as they sojourn here in this world, But God does not give mankind the choice in his eternal inheritance. That is made by God's sovereign grace, without man's choice.
Mankind's choice was not to seek God, and that is why God choose a people as his elect, Eph 1:4, and had his Son to die and redeem them from their sins, John 6:39, and quicken them to a new spiritual life, Eph 2:1 so that he would have a people that would give him praise and honour.
The natural, unregenerate, man will never repent of breaking a spiritual law that he cannot discern, and thinks it to be foolishness 1 Cor 2:14. Only the born again spiritual person will have the changed heart, Ezek 11:19, whose conscience can be pricked to feel guilt, Acts 2:37, and repent.
All scriptures must harmonize in order to understand the doctrine that Jesus taught. You call it "cherry picking". I call it harmonizing the scriptures.
Scripture is essential in determining anyone's understanding of the truths in them, and should be included within their posts. Too many voice their personal interpretations in writing statements, without quoting the scriptures that support their statements.

Respectfully, I would like to correct you.
Christ, did indeed, die for the lost, his elect. His sheep, even after they have been born again, can be lost from not having a knowledge of God's righteousness, Rom 10:2, For I bear them record that they have a "zeal" of God, but not according to knowledge. Whom shall he teach knowledge? and to whom shall he make to understand doctrine? them that are weaned from the milk, and drawn from the breasts.(his sheep that are babes in Christ), For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept, line upon line, line upon line, here a little, and there a little. Isaiah 28:9-10.

According to your lopsided logic only Jews would be saved. Jews are the elect of God in the sense in which you use the term.
God made all men and God desires that all men should be saved. Only those who reject the blood of Christ will be lost. Those who are lost are lost against the will of God because they reject His mercy.
For the cause of Christ

After we have been regenerated and are walking in faith we have no need for repenting, but the fact of the matter is, that we do not always walk in faith, and then we are in need of repentance.
The natural, unregenerate, man will never repent of breaking a spiritual law that he cannot discern, and thinks it to be foolishness, 1 Cor 2:14. Repentance is reserved for those who have already been regenerated.

Surly you do not believe that you never commit a sin. Do you not understand that after you have been regenerated an commit a sin, that God condemns,(punish, call in question, avenge, sentence to think) and chastens you for that sin?
I may be the only person that you know who thinks this way, because we are few in number, that find, the doctrine that Jesus taught, through the revelation of the Holy Ghost, that leads to that good and abundant life here on earth,Matt 7:14.

God's elect people are represented by Jacob surname Israel,Rom 9:11, which is made up to include every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation. All Israel is not of Israel, Rom 9:6.
Jesus's sacrifice was to God, for God's acceptance, nad not to man, for man's acceptance.
God does according to his will and has his way among the inhabitants of the earth, and none can stay his hand, Dan 4:35.

You continue to promote your false gospel as though it is the truth. The Bible calls such people blind leaders of the blind.
The natural unregenerate person is perfectly capable of understanding the Gospel and obeying (or disobeying) the Gospel. Otherwise there would be no need for the Gospel.

A strange argument. I didn't use the word "world". Scripture did. The word is "kosmos" in the Greek. It's literal translation is "the adornment", or "the orderly arrangement of things" You have to decide on its connotation. You tell me now about,
John 3:16
"For God so loved the world (kosmos), that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."
1 John 2:15
"Love not the world (kosmos), neither the things that are in the world (kosmos). If any man love the world (kosmos), the love of the Father is not in him."
John 3:16
"For God so loved the world (kosmos), that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."
1 John 2:15
"Love not the world (kosmos), neither the things that are in the world (kosmos). If any man love the world (kosmos), the love of the Father is not in him."
