NASB | 1 John 2:2 and He Himself is the propitiation for our sins; and not for ours only, but also for those of the whole world. |
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. |
Subject: An Arminian Consensus in the Forum? |
Bible Note: Norrie: To get back to the root of the distinctives between Calvinism and Arminianism, you can read the Canons of Dordt. Since this a Calvinist document, all that it affirms represents Calvinist theology, and all that it rejects/denies are distinctives of Arminianism. I would encourage anyone who wants to undertsand the differences and why they are so important to read this document. It will help you grasp the two views and see why you are generally one or the other, even if you reject the labels themselves.
