1 | Christ dying only for elect? | Rom 5:6 | wist ye not | 5469 | ||
Rom 8:29 For those whom He foreknew, He also predestined to become conformed to the image of His Son, so that He would be the firstborn among many brethren. Lionstrong, and whoever else wants to talk, If God foreknew everyone since he created everyone then isn't everyone predestined to be saved, but they have freewill and can refuse God's Grace and not accept Jesus, the Anointed One, as their Savior and thus through their choice they are condemned to everlasting torment? Yours in Christ Jesus, Wist |

2 | Christ dying only for elect? | Rom 5:6 | Lionstrong | 5505 | ||
Hi Wist, Ryan gave an excellent answer above, and I post it here. (Also, read the Romans passage again, but it doesn't mean everybody. If you like, you can post your question at Rom 8:29 and we can discuss it there.) "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" Lionstrong |
