1 | Christ dying only for elect? | Rom 5:6 | Ray | 6472 | ||
Hi Lionstrong, It appears that you started a long string of conversation. I was led by your references to compare Rom 5:6 with Gal 2:17 rather than 2:20 but I appreciated your comments and want to talk further with you. I keyed on the word "while". "For while we were still helpless, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly." Rom 5:6 compared to Gal 2:17, "But if, while seeking to be justified in Christ, we ourselves have also been found sinners..." Rom 5:8 "But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that *while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Much more then, having now been justified by His blood..." compare this with Gal 2:19, "...is Christ then a minister of sin? May it never be...that I may live to God. I have been crucified with *Christ, and it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me..." Romans 6:4, "...so that as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, so we too might walk in newness of life. For if we have become united with Him in the likeness of (His) death...." compared with Gal 2:20, "...and it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me, and delivered (Himself) up for me." (Parenthesis for comparison). This is indeed very personal. I hope that the Potter who can choose anyone He wants will keep us worthy as servants and sons of our Lord. Later, Ray |

Joe does a much better job of explaining and defending limited atonement than I do, Ray. | ||||||
