Bible Question (short): Is limited atonement needed in Calvinism |
Question (full): Is the doctrine of limited atonement necessary for Calvinism? Does the doctrine of limited atonement treat the scriptures fairly? I am thinking of verses such as John 3:16 and 1 John 2:2 where it seems pretty clear (judging by his use of the word throughout the whole book) that John means world as in all of humanity and not just the elect. 1) How do limited atonement proponents explain verses such as John 3:16 and 1 John 2:2? 2) Is the doctrine of limited atonement necessary for Calvinism? Could it not be the case that Christ died for all and God just elects those whom he will save? These do not seem to be logically contradictory. |
