NASB | Romans 5:6 ¶ For while we were still helpless, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | Romans 5:6 ¶ While we were still helpless [powerless to provide for our salvation], at the right time Christ died [as a substitute] for the ungodly. |
Subject: Christ dying only for elect? |
Bible Note: You must understand the legal part of the whole. Sin is "illegal." If Christ paid for our sins, God would be requiring double payment if we died and went to hell. If somebody paid off your home mortgage, it would be paid--you'd owe nothing more. If Christ paid for all of the sins of all men, what will some be in hell for? Unbelief? Is that not a sin that Christ died for? I hope so--we were all born in unbelief. So, again, what are some going to be in hell for? Because they didn't "accept" the payment? Does that matter if the debt has already been paid? Again, Christ legally died for some and they will be saved. All are responsible for rejecting because they did exactly what they wanted to. God bless. |
