Bible Note: The mistake being made, brother Tim, is to define atonement in such a way that a person's sins are NOT atoned for, that is, propitiated (Rom 3:25). If the blood of our Savior has propitiated (translated atoned in some translation, i.e. NIV) the wrath of God against ALL sinners, then the wrath of God against ALL sinners has been propitiated. But what we see is that God's wrath will be poured out on some men. 2 Thess 1:6 For after all it is only just for God to repay with affliction those who afflict you, 2 Thess 1:7 and to give relief to you who are afflicted and to us as well when the Lord Jesus will be revealed from heaven with His mighty angels in flaming fire, 2 Thess 1:8 dealing out retribution to those who do not know God and to those who do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus. 2 Thess 1:9 These will pay the penalty of eternal destruction, away from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of His power, 2 Thess 1:10 when He comes to be glorified in His saints on that day, and to be marveled at among all who have believed--for our testimony to you was believed. How can this be if our Savior has propitiated the wrath of God for all men? Again, If the blood of our Savior has propitiated the wrath of God against ALL sinners, then the wrath of God against ALL sinners has been propitiated. "But because of your [unbeliever's] stubbornness and unrepentant heart you are storing up wrath for yourself in the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God..." Rom 2:5 Salvation means, among other things, that we are no longer under the just wrath of God. Rom 5:9 Much more then, having now been justified by His blood, we shall be saved from the wrath of God through Him. Peace in the Lamb, Lionstrong Peace, Lionstrong |
