In speaking about the universal passages in the bible, I thought I should mention the Calvinist position which says that died only for the elect people, those he chose from eternity. For some defenses of this position, see the following URLs:

There are of course a ton of other places to look. And the debates/beliefs can get pretty complicated, but those are a sampler of what is out there on this issue.....
