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: Dear Tim, Thanks for your reply. But to be honest with you, I can't buy your answer. For the following reasons: 1. (Rom 1:20) For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood through what has been made, so that they are without excuse." Clearly, in this chapter Paul is speaking to the unregenerated nature of the sons of Adam. I'm certain you have read and understood the dire implications for the man who is outside of Christ. 2. (Rom 10:14) How then will they call on Him in whom they have not believed? How will they believe in Him whom they have not heard? And how will they hear without a preacher? I have not taken these 2 verses out of context. Frankly, nothing annoys me more than that kind of sloppiness in handling The Word of God. I have been guilty of it myself, and am ashamed that I have done so. God willing, I shall not do it again. Your Friend and Brother, John |
