Subject: Is Limited Atonement Bibical? |
Bible Note: Dear Tim, If, as Dabney claims and Easton's Bible Dictionary confirms, that atonement is the same word as reconciliation then atonement would necessarily have to be limited. The alternative to Limited Atonement, as set forth, is Universal Atonement! All mankind would be reconciled to God by Christ's death and we know that thats not true. Why anyone should have a problem with this doctrine is beyond me. I really believe people who have a problem with limited atonement just do not understand the meaning of the word. It's either that, or they rather put up a strawman that can easily be knocked down. Of course, I don't place you, Tim, in the latter category. I have been extremely gratified and delighted with our exchanges, but golly gee it seems mighty plain and biblical to me! Looking forward to your reply, Bro. John |
