There was a man who loved all people and who wanted to make a way for all people to safely cross a deep canyon. The bridge was the only way to get across the canyon, because any other way would cause a person to fall off and die instead of getting across.
Some people who wanted to cross the canyon wisely followed the bridge that the man had built for all who wanted to safely cross, and they made it.
Other people decided to take some other way, and they fell off and died and never made it across.
Then one day, Billy claimed that the man didn't really die making it possible for ALL people to safely cross the canyon, because if the man had REALLY died for ALL the people, then ALL the people would have made it across. Billy was wrong, because the man didn't just build the bridge for a FEW--he loved ALL of them, and the work that he gave his life building was for all of them. The fact that some of them chose to not use His bridge, doesn't mean that He didn't love them, or that He didn't want them to get safely across the canyon. It wasn't a matter of Him not doing something for them--it's that they chose to reject what He had done for them.
And now you know what the flaw was in your thinking.
