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: It sounds to me like a lot of people are missing the issue! Sins aren’t the focal point since Christ has died on the cross for them. The issue now is Christ Himself and the Holy Spirit is the only one who can point this out to a person. The only issue now is faith in the One whom God has provided, believe it or reject it! Jesus promised that the Holy Spirit would convince people of the only thing that will condemn them, which is not believing in the work that God did through His Son, Jesus! John 16:8-9 And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment: 9Of sin, because they believe not on me; John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. I would say that makes it pretty conclusive unless you don’t believe it and then it’s blaspheme of the work of the Spirit! John 3:18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. Have a great day, CDBJ |
