Mark you said:

Also justification is only by faith is it not? Now I’m sure you do not believe that all people have faith in Christ, so therefore how can you say that all men are justified. This is another case where you are confusing biblical language.

Justification has been bought by Christ and paid for and because our justification was paid for the proof of this justification was shown in Christ’s resurrection.

Romans 4:25 (NASB)
25 He who was delivered over because of our transgressions, and was raised because of our justification.

The question must be when justification is to be applied. It seems to me that you don’t believe that justification was accomplished by Christ on the cross and that it only came into existence when we had faith. Or do you believe that justification came at the cross? Which is it?

“If it isn’t universal in both cases, then it doesn’t make sense. We could then say that the “all” that is condemnation isn’t really for all after all.”

Not at all, the context determines how universal language is understood. We know all men fell in Adam from the context

That is all I can do tonight.
This is still more for me to answer. I will see what I can finish this weekend till I am completely caught up.
