Notice that it says that all sins other than that WILL be forgiven them. How does your theology deal with these verses?

So you are saying all the sins of mankind (except blaspheming the Holy Spirit) are forgiven? Is that what the RCC teaches now -- Christ forgives everyone's sins? Christ's makes atonement for everyone's sins? Then why in the world would anyone go to hell if Christ paid for their sins in full?

Let's see what Christ says...

" I pray for them: I pray not for the world, but for them which thou hast given me; for they are thine.

And all mine are thine, and thine are mine; and I am glorified in them." -- John 17:9-10

Again, your argument is with God's word.

Christ paid for everyone’s sins.

If they repent, then they are forgiven them. The payment has already been made.

The verses from John 17 pertain to the Apostles. Read the chapter in its entirety, along with John 13-16. Do you read nothing in context?

Misinterpreting Paul, Psalms, and now a lone foray into the Gospels is proving no better. I argue not with God but with those who misinterpet His words.
