AMPLIFIED 2015 | 1 John 2:2 And He [that same Jesus] is the propitiation for our sins [the atoning sacrifice that holds back the wrath of God that would otherwise be directed at us because of our sinful nature--our worldliness, our lifestyle]; and not for ours alone, but also for [the sins of all believers throughout] the whole world. |

Bible Note: Greetings TSchwab19! I would like to respond to this question, since this is an issue that I (and others) have been discussing on another thread! In many doctrinal issues, there is more than one way to look at verses. As an Arminian, I would agree that Christ died for everyone and that all who believe shall be saved. However, those who view the Bible from a Calvinist perspective would not agree with that statement. The point of the "scruitny" (as you put it) is to discuss our different views and explain why we interpet the verse or verses in the way that we do. If this is done lovingly, it is a wonderful exchange of ideas and should be encouraged. It is only when the discussion turns personal that I feel it becomes inappropriate for this forum.
