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. |

Bible Note: Greetings John! Not to be rude, but what's the point! :-) You think your view is Scriptural and I think mine is as well. You are familiar with what I will say, just as I am familiar with what you will say. I would say that God desires all to be saved, while you would say that 'all' doesn't really mean all. I would say that God died for the sins of the world, while you would say that 'world' doesn't really mean world. I would say that Christ draws all men to Him, but you would say He only draws the elect. I would say that the offer of salvation is extended to whosoever will, while you would say only the elect can will. :-) We could go on and on. I've reached the point where I'm really only interested in real questions about specific passages, not rehashing the same old points over and over. And, I think most on the forum are tired of the whole topic! I don't think that it should be barred from discussion, but I do think that rehashing the same old points over and over is not accomplishing anything. I've already posted many times on most of these topics, including an indepth exgesis of Rom. 9. Well, I just got home from work and it's time for some sleep! Talk with you later my friend!
