Subject: Is Limited Atonement Bibical? |
Bible Note: Greetings Benjamite! Do you mind if I jump in? The problem I see with this construction is that you have Christ dying for people that He never intended to save. I don't agree with Calvinism, but it is logically consistent if, and only if, you hold to all five points. In Calvinism's scheme, Christ only dies for those He elected to salvation. Arminianism is also logically consistent. The unlimited atonement makes salvation possible for all, in harmany with the universal offers of salvation and expressions of God's desire that all be saved, but only those who receive the gift of salvation are actually saved. In your construction, Christ dies for all, but He never had any intention of saving all - only those whom He choose before hand. What do you think? Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
