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: The 'Kosmos' in 1 John |
Bible Note: Sorry, Tim, I meant Rom. 1:18. Note that Mr. Morris does not write "His propitiation was for all (I John 2:2)" but, "His propitiation is adequate for all." I understand your definition, but I agree with Morris', who simply defines it as "removing the deivine wrath." With your definition, of course, you don't need I John 2:2 to prove your point! :-) It's one thing to say propitiation means "Christ has appeased God's wrath against the sins of every man, woman, and child, who has ever lived, or ever will lived," and another thing to say that the propitiation (which means removing the deivine wrath) of Christ "appeased God's wrath against the sins of every man, woman, and child, who has ever lived, or ever will lived." So is yours a definition or simply a restatement of the Arminiam view of Our Savior's propitiation? Peace, Lionstrong |
