The key to understanding this passage is that Paul is speaking of what is the free gift that constitutes ALL OF MAN righteous before God, which is the righteousness through the blood of Christ. This passages is not speaking of universal salvation as some have distorted and warped it to mean but rather the universal gift of righteousness available through faith that is the foundation basis of salvation of the BELIEVER.

Crakjak, you know better than to prooftext. Romans 5, IN CONTEXT, begins with this thesis statement.

1 Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ:

2By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.

The righteousness and basis of forgiveness is accessed through faith in the sacrifice of Jesus Christ which you believe does not need to be expressed in a man's lifetime but rather God in his irresistible grace and love will torment and punish some in hell temporarily until they love Him for eternity.

This doctrine does not understand love allows choice even at the sake of losing.

My friend, it is the one righteous action of Jesus Christ that reconciles man to God, it is by faith that we actually enter into this reconciliation. The only problem you have with UR is that you close the door to this faith at physical death, scripture does not.

God has allowed choice in the world and many are the sorrows because of the choice men ignorantly make. Man is literally spiritually brain damaged, or spiritually brain dead, God "...knows our frame..." and therefore He never, ever gives up on His creation.

It is not love that would allow the choice of eternal damnation, do you love your children enough to allow them the choice of playing in the traffic? Well, man is just as flawed in his thinking in relation to God, as your children in relation to adult maturity.
