Subject: Is Limited Atonement Bibical? |
Bible Note: Greetings John! In his article, Dabney specically said that Jesus did not die in the same way for Judas as He did Paul or Peter. That is the part that I reject. He died for all, but not all receive His gift. Concerning John 17, read the statements Jesus makes about those for whom He is praying. He was with them, taught them, and protected them. He even alludes to Judas in v. 12. Then, in verse 20, He refers to those who will believe through their message. I still think the disciples are in view here. However, even if this is not the case, the passage does not say that His atonement is limited in extent! :-) If you read my post on the "world" in John, I listed every single occurance. You will find that there isn't any variation in meaning. You Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
