Subject: Is Limited Atonement a "scandalous" Doc |
Bible Note: Dear Searcher, I apologize for neglecting to include a scripture verse supporting my arguement for Limited Atonement. I'm still learning how to use this wonderfull forum that God has provided. I'll try to be more carefull in the future. Matthew 25:41 "Then He will also say to those on the left hand, Depart from Me, you cursed, into the everlasting fire prepared for the devil and his angels". Matt 25:41 supports my contention that all are not saved. If all of mankind are saved (Thru having their sins atoned for), then to whom is Jesus referring in this verse, "depart from me, you cursed"? Limited Atonement is really a doctrine that puts the lie to Universal Salvation, the idea that all mankind shall be saved, and that no one will suffer eternal damnation. I have been trying my best to explain that the term Atonement means RECONCILIATION! Sorry, but I feel that if I do not shout it, some folks just won't hear me. Now we know if all were reconciled to God then all would have peace, but all are not reconciled, therefore the number of those saved is LIMITED. Agree? Disagree? Your Brother John Reformed, G.E.D. Don't rely on my poor scholorship (although I do posess a High School G.E.D. diploma), check your favorite bible dictionary and I'm confident it will confirm the definition I set forth. |
