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: We shouldn't confuse the legal aspect of this argument with what exactly Christ did for us on the cross. He died for all of man's sin (Luke 19:10, John 1:29, 1 Timothy 4:10, Hebrews 2:9, Romans 5:18). Therefore, Christ died for all the sins of all men on the cross. If you make the argument that those who reject Christ are paying for their sins in hell even though Christ already paid for it, then YES!! Yes, they are paying for their own sin 'twice' (according to your faulty Calvinistic reasoning) even though Christ already died for it on the cross. They failed to accept the grace that was offered to them by the Lord Jesus Christ. But you make the false claim that Christ died for nothing- He has possession of all of us who accept Him as Lord and Savior as His people- so you can see that He did not die for nothing. Don't worry, Joe (Reformer Joe), I have all of your answers ready and will get to you when I have the time. |
