Well, it says here clearly that "one act of righteousness was justification that brings life to all men." That is exactly the Apostolic view. God made it possible for all men to come to Him, as He desires all men to be saved. The only reason this doesn't happen with all men is because God gave man freedom to choose.

Well, my interpretation of your statement is that you agree that at point blank face value IT DOESN'T MATCH YOUR THEOLOGY EITHER! :) So, since you have to throw in the bolded part above (which is implied nowhere around here) you know that the verse has to be interpreted. I agree it has to be interpreted because the facts on the ground simply don't match that all men do or will have life.
Obviously, the section you zoomed in on has nothing to do with why I quoted the passage. However, it is always perfectly legitimate for you to take issue with any scripture I ever quote. (I just want to say that my originally intended point stands. :)
