[quote]Was it Christ's intention to die on behalf of the unrepentant, yes or no? If yes: Did Christ fail in His mission since His propitiation is not effective for the unrepentant, yes or no?

Who decides what is effective? Christ died for all sins, past, present, future, so that no-one can claim impunity against God.

To propiate is to appease an offended party
And Jesus' sacrifice made sure that no-one can claim to have offended God and got away with it, otherwise God would not be sovereign. That is why Jesus' sacrifice is effective. God is satisfied, and what people do about it is their own business in that respect.

If someone pays my debt, the debt is cancelled, and regardless of whether I think I actually owed the debt, the one to whom I was indebted is not going to pursue me to collect the debt that someone else has paid on my behalf.[/quote]
But you can pursue yourself, and will do so. You will know the terrible truth, even if no-one else does- though they will.
