Au contraire my friend.

"For the love of Christ compels us, because we judge thus: that if One died for all, then all died; and He died for all...Now all things are of God, who has reconciled us to Himself through Jesus Christ, and has given us the ministry of reconciliation, that is, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not imputing their trespasses to them, and has committed to us the word of reconciliation.

2 Cor. 5:14, 18-21.

Now you imply (possibly unintentionally) that the Bible contradicts itself when it does not.

This is the Church talking about itself and its membership, not talking about the world. Please stop taking verses out of context. Nowhere is the grace of God extended to those who reject it, and nowhere is the abolition of the death penalty in general even implied in that verse.
