Jesus is the only way any person in the world can get to the Father. He died and paid the price for what John said is (the whole kosmos/ All of creation).
So you dont believe Jesus is the advocate for the whole world of 1 Jn 2:1-2 ? And what is an Advocate ?

Revelation 14:13
And I heard a voice from heaven, saying to me: Write: Blessed are the dead, who die in the Lord. From henceforth now, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours; for their works follow them.
Are you saved by obeying commandments or stay saved by obeying commandments ?

John is saying when Jesus died, He died for all humans. The Elect and non-elect. He specifically used the words the whole kosmos that means ALL creation.
I would agree that it is God's desire that His word would go out to the entire world. Some people (His Elect) will hear His word and come to faith. For others, their heart will be hardened and they will be left without excuse. It was never God's plan to save the entire world. If that were His plan, then the entire world would be saved.

To those who think that we must first believe (a work on our part) before being saved, please consider the following teaching.

For these views contradict the Holy Scriptures, which testify that God does infuse or pour into our hearts the new qualities of faith, obedience, and the experiencing of his love: I will put my law in their minds, and write it on their hearts (Jer. 31:33); I will pour water on the thirsty land, and streams on the dry ground; I will pour out my Spirit on your offspring (Isa. 44:3); The love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us (Rom. 5:5). They also conflict with the continuous practice of the Church, which prays with the prophet: Convert me, Lord, and I shall be converted (Jer. 31:18).

Mathematically speaking, only the Elect will be saved. But Jesus died for those who even rejected Him. But the Bible is not written like a mathematics problem and it says Jesus died for "whole kosmos." A couple places it says the Whole cosmos and even the Believers. So we should present the Bible as it is factually written, not like a Math problem we've already solved.

He only died for the elect, thats why only they will be saved. If you believe Jesus died for people who are never saved, then you cannot honestly believe in Christs saving Death, and must condition salvation to some degree on the sinner man.

They are only saved because they did not reject God.
Being lost because you're born as a sinner is different than rejecting God.

See you condition salvation on what man did or didnt do. I condition Salvation on what Christ did. Your views is man centered, mine Christ centered.

IF YOU KNEW THE BIBLE JESUS TOLD US WHY PEOPLE GO TO HELL

John 12:48 The one who rejects me and does not receive my words has a judge; the word that I have spoken will judge him on the last day

Thats the ones Christ didnt die for.

The ones Jesus died for He saves them from rejecting Him, He redeems them from all iniquity, Titus 2:14

14 Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works.

They are redeemed from all iniquity, like unbelief, disobedience, all that, then He purifies them unto Himself.

Once again your views are man centered, not Christ centered like mine.

Jesus never said what you said.
Once again, you are NOT telling the truth about what Jesus said.
Jesus said
48 The one who rejects me and does not receive my words has a judge; the word that I have spoken will judge him on the last day

Is it even possible for you to tell the truth about what Jesus said?

Not only does the whole world of 1 Jn 2:2 have Christ as their Advocate, They have Him as Gods satisfaction to His Law and Justice, so they are Justified by the Blood of Christ.

And we know all are not justified, and all have not for a satisfaction since they are under Gods wrath.

I truly fear for you on Judgement Day!
You can't be honest about anything.

for the Unjust/Nonelect/Unsaved whose names are not written in The Book of Life?

Revelation 21:27
There shall not enter into it any thing defiled, or that worketh abomination or maketh a lie, but they that are written in the book of life of the Lamb
Weird. You only need to worry about if He died for you. Have you resolved that yet?
