How does your "context" deal with this?
Philippians 2:10-12
King James Version (KJV)
10 That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;
11 And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
Do you have an alternative definition of "every" too? It seems pretty damn obvious that everyone will eventually accept "Jesus" according to the text...

I see a pattern here... Any discussion that has to do with religion you equate to claims of some form of god... Pay. Close. Attention. To. What. I. Write. And. NOT. What. You. Imagine...

Unless I'm mistaken and that passage makes 'acceptance of Adam' a requirement for dying, I'd have to say that you have a poor grasp of my reasoning.
I think that if you claim that "in Christ" means acceptance of Jesus, then "in Adam" should have the same application, no?

No, it covers 'every' quite well by using context. It also appears to imply one of two interesting things.
1. Confessing that Christ is Lord is not the same thing as accepting him as savior. I can accept that he is what he says he is, and still refuse his salvation. It could also mean that God just wants to rub it in on those who snub him (which is completely befitting his character). So, this does not prove that hell is a finite sentence.
2. Confessing that Christ is Lord is the same thing as accepting him as savior, which may imply that a stay in hell is finite. Which makes the entire religion a giant farce; you're going to do it one way or another. You ultimately have no choice. So, the one single incentive to do it now is because God is a sadistic psychopath and in spite of being eternal, is apparently pressed for time (but also apparently not so much that he just can't make you kneel right now, but nobody sane thinks this shit makes any sense).
3. I'm not limited in my acceptance of possibilities, so I'll present you with another you may not have thought of... The Bible (and Christianity) has been hijacked by the Romans for their own personal gain to convert the predominantly Pagan population into a huge flock of bigoted, fear-mongering hypocrites... Hell (Hades and Tartarus) is a Greek myth I'm sure you'll agree. Virgin birth, human sacrifice, X-mas, Easter, Sunday worship, trinity concept among other crap is all of Pagan origin...

I always get a giggle out of the notion that hijacking pagan this or thats was somehow a detriment to a faith or religion. Clearly this was part of a very successful marketing campaign. What I wonder though, is why it would matter whether or not fairy tales were of pagan or christian origin? Pro-tip - it doesn't - if the contention is that the one peddling them is completely full of shit. Religions change over time, they rarely survive the cultures they come into contact with intact, why would you expect christianity to be any different (and why should it be?)?
