what was the purpose of jesus dying for everyone if very few will be saved?

Everyone has that extremely generous FREE Gift available to them, with free-will we either accept or reject it.

2 Peter 3:9 King James Version (KJV)

9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.

Ezekiel 33:11 King James Version (KJV)

11 Say unto them, As I live, saith the Lord God, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live: turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways; for why will ye die, O house of Israel?

"To do the will of Him who sent me", He said. cf. Isaiah Chapter 53, John Chapter 17.

The sin debt of ALL of man-kind, past, present, and future, was paid by The Blood of Jesus.... making it possible for ALL to come to God in The Way He prescribes... so that all who ,manage to do that can claim God's gift of Salvation and assure their place in Heaven...... the sad thing is that the vast majority of man-kind are unwilling to come to God in The Way He prescribes...... that is why only a few will be "saved"

Everyone makes their choice. The offer is made to all. And it matters to every person that chooses to believe in Jesus for eternal life.

Jesus loves you and wants to bless your life freely :) Most of all, Jesus wants you with Him forever, and not in hell. The truth is that every belief except one will lead to eternal torment in the lake of fire for every person. Because nothing pays for our sins except the death and blood of Jesus, the sacrifice of Jesus that is already accomplished by Him . Jesus loves you! The truth is that Jesus is God, and Jesus died on the cross to pay for all of our sins in full, and then Jesus resurrected from the dead. Nothing else pays for our sins, not works, not deeds, not religions. So the only way to heaven and to avoid hell, is by believing in Jesus for eternal life (John 6:47), without adding any of your own works (Romans 4:5). Believe in Jesus to take you to heaven, and you will be in heaven, no matter what, guaranteed. That easy, thanks to Jesus! Tell Jesus that you thank Him that you will be with Him in heaven when you die, because you believe in Jesus! It is too late to be saved, after death.

Because Yeshua *was* crucified, so they had to invent the "why' afterward.

That's not true that only some will be saved. that's not what the Bible says. And the 144,000 is misinterpreted.

I am a Baha'i. a member of the Baha'i Faith. We believe there is only one God, that sent Buddha, Jesus, Moses, etc to humanity, now Baha’u’llah has come.

To give the opportunity to receive salvation

He gives everyone alike the opportunity to enter into his new covenant and be saved. If thats only a few well then thats on those who decline the opportunity - not at all on Jesus.

He is far more interested in quality than quantity. He made Adam from dirt, ans so far some 100 billion men from Adam. So quantity is no problem for him.

Many people love to quote John 3:16-17 to reveal Gods love for all. And he does. But they neglect to include verse 18 where he condemns those who refuse their only opportunity for salvation.

So I'll include all three verses here (KJV)

Jhn 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

Jhn 3:17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.

>>>>> Jhn 3:18 ¶ He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

Condemnation is not an act of love. It IS an act of holiness, righteousness and justice.

God so loved the world ..... but all the world does not love God. Aye there's the rub.

Nothing about the salvation myth makes any sense.

What's the purpose in having emergency medical services in heavily populated cities?

Surely some people won't be reached in time....!
