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 Question:
An Arminian Consensus in the Forum on the Meaning of the Unlimited Atonement of Our Savior, Is There One? I don't see the following views as being necessarily mutually exclusive, but I don't see them as being the same either: * Christ's death PROVIDES forgiveness for all men. (I don't have it, but I can get it, if I want it. It's there for the asking.) * Christ's death RESULTS in the forgivenss of all men. (All have the forgiveness of sin.) * Christ's death results in the forgiveness of every man of all sins except one. (Christ didn't die for that one sin.) *Christ's death results in the forgiveness of all men, but they will still go to hell if they don't believe in Christ. (This makes forgiveness of no value. I'm forgiven but going to hell for not accepting Christ.) Peace, Lionstrong |
Bible Answer: I've stated this in another thread using others words. It makes a lot of sense since Jesus died for all in the world. I think in reverse when I say all are saved as a consequence but damnation comes in when you are told about Jesus and you walk away from it. John 9:41 (KJV) Jesus said unto them, If ye were blind, ye should have no sin: but now ye say, We see; therefore your sin remaineth. |
