1 | Christ dying only for elect? | Rom 5:6 | homer7000 | 5455 | ||
Can you give me specific verses concerning "Christ dyeing only for the elect"? | ||||||
2 | Christ dying only for elect? | Rom 5:6 | Makarios | 5456 | ||
Hello, homer7000. In Scripture, I see no reference to a verse that says that Christ died only for the elect. This premise is contrary to why the Son came to die for sinful humanity in the first place. If He only came to die for certain people, then what assurance do we have in our salvation? But Christ came to die for all people, taking the weight of the world's sins upon His shoulders. In Rom. 5:6 we can see that Christ died for the ungodly, therefore making it possible for the elect to become saved in the first place. | ||||||
3 | Christ dying only for elect? | Rom 5:6 | orthodoxy | 5472 | ||
Nolan, I believe that you are wrong here. Consider the following: There are several options as to what and who Christ died for. 1) Christ died for all sins of all men. 2) Christ died for all sins of some me. 3) Christ died for some sins of all men. 4) Christ died for some sins of some men. Now consider the implications of each of these choices. 3 and 4 aren't really options, cause they don't save anyone. If the second is true, we have Reformed election. If the first is true, then everyone goes to heaven, for all sins are paid for. But, you say, can't people resist God's grace? Perhaps (but I think not). Assuming they can, would this not be sin? And would Christ not have died for it? Would that not make it forgiven? If not, why not? The only real option is particular redemption. Ryan Davidson |

That is more like the answer to what I believe the Scripture declares. The verses referenced in answer to Nolan(Jn. 10:11; Eph. 5:25) would suffice. I was just looking for any others that I may have overlooked. | ||||||
