What kind of worship is that to Christ to tell him his death did not save anyone?

His death did not save anyone BF what it did was cover the sins of humanity His resurrection has made salvation possible form anyone that will freely trust in Him.

Why do you have such a hard time accepting what the bible clearly teaches?

Where does 1st Peter 1:3 say that Christ death did not save anyone? Not only did his death save who he died for , his resurrection gave them new spiritual life

Where does it say what you need BF? You continue to twist scripture and ignore context in the attempt to prove your false theory of salvation.

Negative Christ resurrection causes them He died for, putting away their sin, to be born again 1 Peter 1:3

Blessed [gratefully praised and adored] be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to His abundant and boundless mercy has caused us to be born again [that is, to be reborn from above—spiritually transformed, renewed, and set apart for His purpose] to an ever-living hope and confident assurance through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,AMP

Well since He knows that then I do not have to tell Him.

But I do thank the risen Christ for making salvation possible by the grace of God for those that will freely trust in Him.

BF even you should be able to understand these words

For if the dead are not raised, then not even Christ has been raised.
And if Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile; you are still in your sins.
1Co 15:16-17 BSB

The fact that you will not accept the biblical truth just shows how committed you are to the religious theory you hold.

How is it that you were able to 'freely trust in Him' and others are not?

You keep trusting in anything that you think supports you false understanding of salvation BF

I have shown you what Paul said but you still reject that truth.

Free will

Free will to trust

Free will to reject

What can free will mean if not free will?
"Free will is the capacity for agents to choose between different possible courses of action (aka choosing “otherwise”). This does not require the person to be able to choose anything, nor does it require the absence of other influencing factors such as creation, conviction of sin, the gospel message, etc. It only requires the ability for a person confronted with a decision to be able to choose from among one or more possible options."

How is it you were able to trust and others reject? Are you a better person than those that reject? What allowed you to trust?

The same God who allows for us to have rejected. The same God who allows those who are rejecting Him to repent and trust Him.
God is not a respecter of persons. If you are not the person making all these discernments on judgement day, what is it to you? Why are you so selfish with the love that God is free with? Let God handle the sorting. But your pulling tares before the harvest is not right to do.

In a way you are asking the wrong question @Mikoo.

The reason is that He loves the world and the how is through His son Christ Jesus

Joh 3:16 For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that everyone who believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.
Joh 3:17 For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through Him.

See my edit. I forgot I was making a quick edit and went to town.

That still does not answer my question (it is a sincere question):
So God 'allows' some who are rejecting Him to repent but does not 'allow' others to repent. How does God do that? How does God 'allow' those who are rejecting Him to repent and trust Him?
