LIMITED ATONEMENT: Did Jesus Die For Everyone? (Calvinism Series: Part 4) | ask Theocast 

Atonement isn't limited. The atonement of Christ is valid for all (1John2:21). But it's effective only for those who believe (John3:15-16). Eg: If I send out an invitation to my party to ALL the people in my town, it's valid for all, but it's effective only for those who use the invitation & come to the party.

The Gospel: Plain and Simple “But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.” - 2 Corithians 11:3 Ask someone today if they are saved and you will most likely hear responses like these: “I have accepted Jesus into my heart.” Or “I have made him Lord of my life.” “I’ve been baptized.” “I said a prayer.” Sounds all good and churchy don’t it; but it is difficult to de- termine whether or not a person actually knows the gospel that saves them. These use￾less phrases don’t describe a thing about what the gospel is and has left a devastating effect of people not knowing what it is that they are saved from nor how they are saved; which leaves a more serious effect of people ques￾tioning their salvation. Let’s not muddy the simplicity of salva￾tion that is in Christ with vague church sounding phrases that do not communicate anything. But rather present God’s word with clarity and assuredness. So here is the gospel: plain and simple. Sin was passed upon all men by one man Adam, and death is a consequence of this sin (Rom 5:12). Mankind has an eternal destiny of condemnation and wrath - Hell - because of this sin (Rom 6:23). No matter what good works one might do we are still found sinners in the sight of our Creator God. And all un￾righteousness and those who follow get in￾dignation and wrath. We cannot be found righteous for by God’s law we are found sin￾ners (Rom 3:19-20). If we have broken even one law we are found guilty. It is for this reason of not being able to create our own righteousness and being born in a sinful flesh that we need a savior (Titus 3:5). Christ is that Savior, God manifested in the flesh, sinless, died in our place on a cross 2000 years ago. Taking upon him the wrath and judgement that was intended for us sin￾ners. And it is through his bloodshed, burial, and resurrection on our behalf that we are able to have peace with God and forgiveness of our sins (1 Cor 15:1-4, Col 3:14). This good news is unto all but only those that believe in it are made righteous in Christ (Romans 3:22). It is then after we have heard this good news of Christ’s righteousness available to us freely, that we are sealed with the Holy Spirit and we are now part of Christ’s body the church (Eph 1:13) There is nothing that we need to do, no good works that are required, and no bad works that can separate us from our new po￾sition in Christ (Romans 8:35-39). Faith and belief in this information from God’s word is the gospel. The gospel is not accepting Jesus into your heart. The gospel is not making him lord of your life, it is not saying a prayer and it is not being baptized with water. So next time someone asks you if you are saved. Give them the clear assured answer “Yes! And let me tell you why!” Find more free resources at: www.graceambassadors.com

Christ's death is sufficient to save the whole world but is only efficacious for the elect. I believe this is the understanding Jeffrey Johnson has on limited atonement which he argues for in his book entitled "He Died for Me". This particular view gives great confidence and provides us with a clear conscience when we go and proclaim the gospel to the world. I say that it gives us a clear conscience because we know that our call to all mankind to trust Christ and if they do they are garenteed forgiveness, is not insincere or uncertain, but factual. Since Christ died for the whole world, you can be assured that if you come to Him you are saved and are among the elect. The atonement is only limited in it's efficacy, not its sufficiency. His death is sufficient to save ANYONE who comes to Him. I like how Charles Spurgeon puts it, he says something along these lines: "Christ died for sinners. I am a sinner, therefore Christ died for me and I am saved."

Wow my worldview of the bible completely changed. Am just lost of words. The Bible is so deep wow. Thank you for this. My understanding has increased and my assurance of salvation has been sealed indeed.

The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.

Regeneration is only found in two verse of the scriptures, and neither are used as in the man centric theology of Calvinism. Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost; {Titus 3:5} And Jesus said unto them, "Verily I say unto you, That ye which have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of man shall sit in the throne of his glory, ye also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.” {Matthew 19:28}

Brother, just wanted to say, I love this teaching!! Thanks very much for taking the time to put this together - clearly explained and BIBLICAL. And to everyone in the comments complaining about this teaching that offends them, consider this: “What then shall we say? Is God unjust? Not at all! For he says to Moses, ‘I will have mercy on whom I have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion.’ It does not, therefore, depend on human desire or effort, but on God’s mercy. For Scripture says to Pharaoh: ‘I raised you up for this very purpose, that I might display my power in you and that my name might be proclaimed in all the earth.’ Therefore God has mercy on whom he wants to have mercy, and he hardens whom he wants to harden. One of you will say to me: ‘Then why does God still blame us? For who is able to resist his will?’ But who are you, a human being, to talk back to God? ‘Shall what is formed say to the one who formed it, “Why did you make me like this?” ’ Does not the potter have the right to make out of the same lump of clay some pottery for special purposes and some for common use? What if God, although choosing to show his wrath and make his power known, bore with great patience the objects of his wrath - prepared for destruction? What if he did this to make the riches of his glory known to the objects of his mercy, whom he prepared in advance for glory - even us, whom he also called, not only from the Jews but also from the Gentiles? As he says in Hosea: ‘I will call them “my people” who are not my people; and I will call her “my loved one” who is not my loved one,’ and, ‘In the very place where it was said to them, “You are not my people,” there they will be called “children of the living God.” ’” ‭‭Romans‬ ‭9‬:‭14‬-‭26‬ ‭NIVUK‬‬ bible.com/bible/113/rom.9.16-26.NIVUK

For God so loved the world……Stop limiting the spirit.

I think this man is wrong about Jesus’ effectual atonement. He says Jesus only died for the elect but no I would say he certainly died for everyone but not everyone will be saved.

We have to choose to believe in our Lord and savior 🙏 and yes we belong to him!

First Timothy 4:10 " For therefore we both labour and suffer reproach, because we trust in the living God, WHO IS THE SAVIOR OF ALL MEN, specially (particularly or especially) of those that believe." Salvation is available to anyone who is willing to trust Christ as their Savior, but salvation is only completed particularly for those who believe. Christ right now is willing to save ANYONE, ANYWHERE, and at ANY TIME if they are willing to believe in the sacrifice of the Son of God on Calvary or simply believe the gospel which the power of God unto salvation to him that believes. To teach anything else is a serious heresy. Btw, the above verse in no way, shape, or form teaches a limited atonement.

I really like this channel & appreciate your content; Thank you for your hard work to convince weary saints to rest in Christ. As for the topic of limited atonement, I have to respectfully disagree. One passage that I was hoping would be mentioned in this video is 2 Peter 2:1. How would you reconcile this verse with the doctrine of particular atonement? Thanks again

Jesus died for ungodly sinners who's excluded there's no debate the question is do you believe God

‘Particular Atonement’ - Love that take!!

I’m confused… are you saying that even if you accept Jesus into your life as your Lord and saviour, you may not be one of His “chosen ones” which he intends to save, therefore you may not be saved? Honest question, just trying to understand you correctly.

Very well and completely explained.

Amen from the Philippines Talisay City Cebu

it seems to boil down to the question, 'Is faith a gift or a matter of the will?'

i love this page, but i would have to unfollow if its trying to pushing calvinism into people, please keep doing what you always do that is to comfot troubled consciences

I don't understand why it's so hard for people to accept the fact that men can and do resist the Holy Ghost. They've been doing it since Genesis. Christ can still sacrifice his life for all men and those same men refuse to believe it because they don't feel they need it or want it. Stubbornness and pride are the only things that keep a man from being saved. Calvinism is not the only way to have eternal security. Whosoever believeth in him shall not be ashamed.

As a Barthian I would follow his lead and imply redemption to all through the redemptive act of Christ Crucified being both the elect and the reprobate. It is in my view the best synthesis of the Armenian / Calvinist position and makes Roman’s election passages make sense.

Don't tell your children Jesus loves them because they might not be chosen

Amen..!

As with much of TULIP, this goes back to whether we as humans have free will to choose Christ. If we have free will then Christ paid the price for all, but only some will "choose" him. (for example, hypothetically if there were 100 people in the world and the ransom for each was $1 then he paid $100, even if only 60 people choose to believe), conversely, if there is no free will then the only logical conclusion is limited atonement because it goes hand in hand with election.

Thank you for this video. This video shows that Calvin's followers know that they are in a difficult position to defend their beliefs. They need to put up the straw man of universalism to try to bolster their position. They wrongly conclude that draw means to force. If you believe that then you will be forced to conclude that God really doesn't mean what he says in John12:32 and 1 John 2:2. God really didn't mean what he wrote in his word.

You must be born again. Any belief that you have in Jesus Christ is null and void. The difference in believing in an unsaved person and salvation in a saved one, is the Holy Spirit taking up residence in one's soul. Your belief becomes faith at this point. Faith is something that becomes part of you, because the Holy Spirit, becomes part of you. It's a very humbling experience, because you experience EXACTLY, how Holy God is...

Sounds like universalism is the way to go. Thanks!🙂

Jesus actually accomplished salvation for His People , at the cross.Jesus didn't die for a mere possibility that spiritually dead men would choose Him, since none ever would because all their deeds are wicked. God the Father chose us, the Son died for us and the Holy Spirit births us so we will believe.

It's even a further limited scope. It was for the old covenant world. They were the sheep. Some were scattered and assimilated into other nations, making them gentiles. The promise was to gather the elect out from the 4 corners of the land, and with that, all Israel would be saved. No one else received salvation. The end of the age came when the temple was destroyed, and the saints were raised, and those who were alive were changed. The 144k from all the tribes of Israel who spoke different languages and lived in different countries were saved. The end came and the mission is over.

Is it not possible for God to 'waste' some atonement? Like if he pays for all's sins but they still need to accept him?

Every single Christian believes in limited atonement. Either limiting it to a certain group, the elect or sheep or for every human but he was not able to save them.

If I wanted to create doubt in the minds of people that their sins are forgiven, this would be a good article to introduce. I've yet to see anyone who holds to limited atonement show how he knows Christ died for him. And then they wonder why Arminianism arose from their ranks? The speaker begins by suggesting that he will answer how a person can know his sins are forgiven based on this 'doctrine.' And so, he summarizes, "Once I conclude with faith that I believe that I can be assured that if Christ was the one who purchased me, I can't be unpurchased." Yes, that convoluted sentence is the one from which he draws his strength, and supposedly answers for you how to know your sins are forgiven. He has to conclude with faith that he believes that he can be assured that if Christ was the one... That's a lot of ifs and conclusions. Why not just be honest and say that on the basis of this supposed 'doctrine' one cannot be certain Christ died for one's sins, but one hopes it is true? Shortly thereafter he suggests that in proclaiming the gospel he doesn't know for which of his hearers Christ died. "I do not know for whom Christ died." If you don't know whether Christ died for you, and you don't know if He died for me, why should I want to hear you? The reason we go to church is to hear that our sins are forgiven through Christ. The job of the pastor is to say things like, "I forgive you," based on "Whosesoever sins you remit, they are remitted,." and "Whoever hears you, hears me." The fact is that the speaker believed Jesus died for him because he heard the gospel that proclaims Christ died and rose for him. He did not first believe in Christ and then ascertain from that faith that the atonement was for him. That is circular backwards reasoning which would leave one ever in doubt. Faith in faith is not faith in Christ. Faith comes from hearing and hearing by the word of Christ.

Here is an interesting question. Let us assume that the content of this video regarding salvation is true (and I'm not saying ot isn't, I simply don't know), does that mean the saved person was always saved since birth? Since the atonement was effectual at the cross, then the blood was applied then and I come out of the womb covered in the blood? Wasn't John the Baptist filled with the Holy Spirit in the womb? That would indicate salvation without a choice, right? Just sincere questions.

I was hoping for some arguments against universalism but it sounded like it was an option 😬

"Many means all" is the same. It said in the other verse all man died because of Adams sin. Now here says many died. The whole world is dead because of sin. Roman 5:15 . 15 But the free gift is not like the [e]offense. For if by the one man’s offense many died

I'd like to talk to you, perhaps in a private email: I have something I'd like to share with you that I'd like you to consider. I just don't want to do it publicly.

Beware of those who argue that the Bible does not mean what it says. They are human reason and understanding above the inspiration and authority of scripture. Trust that God actually said what He meant to say. The assumption here is also made that the atonement is what saves. Nowhere does the scripture say this. It is not the death of Christ, but rather His resurrection from the dead that saves us! For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life. Romans 5:10 And if Christ be not raised, your faith is vain; ye are yet in your sins. 1 Corinthians 15:17

It’s simple. You have no gospel to announce to those for whom no atonement exists, one of the many problems with Limited Atonement being another gospel.

Did it ever bother you that John says , one who is coming after me will not baptize with WAter but with the spirit and fire? Dont you see that even water was a foreshadowing as a physical representation of a later spiritual reality described in colosians 2-10-13 and few other places where Paul explains the spiritual baptism of the insertion of a believer into the body through the spirit!! Doesn't it bother you to look into historically what baptism water ment? John uses it as to proclaim who is the messayah!! Doesn't it bother you that Jesus says Emerse them in the name of the father son spirit, then Peter has no clue what Jesus said and keeps baptizing with water in the name of Jesus alone..... doesnt it bother you when Peter at cornilii house Remembers what the Lord said years ago that " you will be baptized by the spirit" not water...... Doesnt it bother that the confusion kept going on because people did not understand understood Jesus correctly, but kept the water instead of seeing the Regeneration as the spiritual act of Sircumsision where tbe body of flesh is left dead a d we are resurected already today!! Paul says too that was not sent to baptise, as it was a Jewish reality to show the Jews that they are as unclean as all other gentiles!!!!

Specific redemption

Here is some more from Calvin on the extent of the Death of Jesus Christ John 3:16 “That whosoever believeth on him may not perish. It is a remarkable commendation of faith, that it frees us from everlasting destruction. For he intended expressly to state that, though we appear to have been born to death, undoubted deliverance is offered to us by the faith of Christ; and, therefore, that we ought not to fear death, which otherwise hangs over us. And he has employed the universal term whosoever, both to invite all indiscriminately to partake of life, and to cut off every excuse from unbelievers. Such is also the import of the term World, which he formerly used; for though nothing will be found in the world that is worthy of the favor of God, yet he shows himself to be reconciled to the whole world, when he invites all men without exception to the faith of Christ, which is nothing else than an entrance into life” John 1:29 “Who taketh away the sin of the world. He uses the word sin in the singular number, for any kind of iniquity; as if he had said, that every kind of unrighteousness which alienates men from God is taken away by Christ. And when he says, the sin Of The World, he extends this favor indiscriminately to the whole human race; that the Jews might not think that he had been sent to them alone. But hence we infer that the whole world is involved in the same condemnation; and that as all men without exception are guilty of unrighteousness before God, they need to be reconciled to him. John the Baptist, therefore, by speaking generally of the sin of the world, intended to impress upon us the conviction of our own misery, and to exhort us to seek the remedy. Now our duty is, to embrace the benefit which is offered to all, that each of us may be convinced that there is nothing to hinder him from obtaining reconciliation in Christ, provided that he comes to him by the guidance of faith.” Romans 5:18 “He makes this favor common to all, because it is propounded to all, and not because it is in reality extended to all; for though Christ suffered for the sins of the whole world, and is offered through God's benignity indiscriminately to all, yet all do not receive him” VERY CLEAR that John Calvin believed that Jesus Christ Died for ALL MEN WITHOUT EXCEPTION, which is the ENTIRE HUMAN RACE!

Sorry, but I disagree with anyone who in any way teaches that the blood atonement of the Lamb of God was not for the sins of the WHOLE WORLD meaning every single person that ever has lived or ever will live, not just particular chosen ones. God's blood atonement is unlimited in its scope, meaning it is for everyone. Man does NOT limit His atoning work. His atonement is available to all who will only believe that it was personally for their sins. The word of God is clear that ANYONE can believe and salvation is freely offered to all who will believe. Only a Calvinist is confused about this because of really bad theology. There does not exist a single word or verse in the entire Bible that contradicts the clear teaching of Jesus Christ in John 3:14-18. The one and only way to be saved is by faith in the uplifted Christ on the cross who shed His sinless blood for our sins. When we look to Him in faith we are instantly and permanently forgiven all our sins past, present, and future. It is simply by believing and the message is clearly given to the WORLD and to WHOSOEVER. How people get messed up on this is mind-boggling. John 3:16 is so clear even a small child should understand it. People who have been indoctrinated into the terrible heresies of Calvinism or some other false teachings are the ones who don't understand it. WHOSOEVER may be saved by faith in the Son of God who fully paid our sin debt and I mean for every single person who has ever lived or ever will live. Limited Atonement no matter how you spin it is the worst of all the heresies of Calvinism and is a blatant false doctrine. bible.timelesstruths.org/John%203:14-18

YES. JESUS DIED FOR ALL MEN (i.e. all of mankind.)

Read this Verses slowly. God died for the ungodly (Roman's 5:6) Are all man ungodly or just the elect? The world is under sin. Through Adam condemnation came to all men. Then it it says: through one man the free gift came to all men. Romans 5:18 18 Therefore, as through one man’s offense judgment came to all men, resulting in condemnation, even so through one Man’s righteous act the free gift came to all men, resulting in justification of life All man are in condemnation. All man are no Justified just the ones that believe. The free gift came to all, now you have to believe to be justified.

If Jesus died for everyone, then everyone would believe because the sacrifice of Christ accomplished salvation for all it was made for.Even non-reformed people believe that God knew Exactly who would and wouldn't be saved before He created them, so the number was fixed in both cases and cannot be changed.

"I do not pray for the world".

"I came for the lost sheep of the house of Israel" Jesus called the febrile woman a dog. Explain this.

Was Abraham regenerate? He was righteous through faith…

Calvanism and Wesleyanism are like Trump and Biden. why are they the only 2 options?

1 John 2:1-2 settles it! BOTH! When we get to Heaven we will ask Jesus Christ how that all works! "My little children, I am writing these things to you so that you may not sin. But if anyone does sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous. He is the propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only but also for the sins of the whole world." FACT! HOW? One must seek that salvation. For ALL have sinned and come short of the glory of God. HIS BLOOD IS THERE! ASK! That means according to SCRIPTURES. We are forward heading right to Heavens gate with Jesus Christ leading us home to His Fathers house! Christ's coming for His bride has always been IMMINENT! YES! Since the Pentecost event, the beginning of our family, bride of Christ in waiting. They looked for His coming to call them UP! Why? When the Bride was complete. They were told to go out into the world and share the Gospel. Who knew when the last Christian would be saved? None but Almighty God. But all knew when that time arrived the bride would be called up to meet Jesus Christ in the air and GO HOME!. (*see below) * AT THE RAPTURE; that is the instant removal of the bride of Christ to meet our Lord above earth when we will receive an imperishable sinless body like that of Jesus Christ.1 Cor. 15:51-57. First church believers who died whose soul/spirit are waiting with the Lord (2 Cor.5:8) and then those alive following them up (1 Thessalonians 4:13-18). The Lord calls us from above Earth. I believe the Holy Spirit in us HEARS and actually removes us to Christ's side! Our sin nature, Romans 3:23, is supernaturally removed and our sanctification (being holy) is completed as is our salvation so we can go to Heaven. Philippians 1:6 " Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ:" We are NOT appointed to God's wrath! 1 Thessalonians 1:10; 5:9; Romans 5:8-9. The bride of Christ will not go through "Tribulation" when God judges the lost world left behind. No longer will evil be restrained as one of the ministries of the Holy Spirit. The bride is complete & home. That opens the door for the appearance of anti-Christ; Satan in human form! TIMING OF RAPTURE? See John 14:3; Titus chapter 2:verses 11-14; Revelation 3:10 It is "IMMINENT"! "Maranatha" ("He comes") was the greeting to one another in the just formed church. 1 Cor.16:22. They looked for Jesus to come in their time! WE TOO! Only God knows the time the last Christian is saved! Romans 11:25. Blood coming from all over his body and NAKED hanging on that cross like torture weapon! What a Lord and God and Savior! He had to do it. HE is God the Son and only His body and blood could pay the sins price of ALL ever! 1 John 2:1-2. SUBSCRIBED. This channel is a blessing known to God before the world was made. Ephesians 1:1-14. Oh Lord bless this channel. I will pray for you and those gathered here.There is a Crown in Heaven awaiting all who faithfully share the Gospel of Jesus Christ and a soul is saved. ( "JESUS SAVES" below) 1 Thessalonians 2:19-20; Philippians 4:1. " For what is our hope, or joy, or crown of rejoicing? Are not even you in the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ at his coming? 20 For you are our glory and joy." The Apostle Paul further testified; Romans 1:16 "For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believes; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek". 2 Samuel chapter 22:verse 50 "Therefore I will praise you, O Lord, out of the countries, and I will praise your name." JESUS SAVES Mark 16: verse 15: "And He said unto them, Go into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature." How can anyone hear the "good" news? Romans 10:17 "Then faith comes from hearing and hearing by the word of God." The Birth Of Jesus Christ Isaiah 7:14: "Therefore the LORD shall give you a sign; behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and call His name Immanuel." Hebrew: עִמָּנוּאֵל, "God with us" in human flesh but without sin. The Savior of the world was born to die for our sins! He did so 33 years later. His terrible ordeal, the body was mutilated, the blood was poured out, but the bones were not broken, buried in a Tomb and risen on the 3rd day. Isaiah 53: "5 But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed. 6 All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the Lord hath laid on him the iniquity of us all." John 3:16 "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. "For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God." Romans 3:23 "For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Jesus Christ our Lord." Romans 6:23 "I am the way, the truth and the life: no one comes to the Father except through me." John 14.6 1 Corinthians 15: "1 Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; 2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. 3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; 4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:" "In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace;." Ephesians 1:7 “For he (God) hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.” 2 Corinthians 5: 21. Ephesians 2:8 " For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:" Jesus died to pay the penalty for our sins and rescue us from eternal death. Because of Jesus' death on our behalf, all we have to do is believe in Him, trusting in His death and in the shedding of His blood as payment for our sins, as well as in His burial and resurrection from the dead the third day, and we will be saved! John 20:24-31; See 1 Corinthians 15: 1-4. Romans 10: "9 If you confess the Lord Jesus with your mouth and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For with the heart man believes in righteousness; And a confession by mouth is given to salvation. 13 For the one who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved." Salvation and forgiveness of sins is a blessing of all who believe in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. We receive the baptism of the Holy Spirit immediately which seals us in Christ Ephesians 1:13-14. Those who reject salvation, "perish"(John 3:16) which means their sins are judged and suffer separation from God forever called the second death. Rev.21:8

if a person would think of how a sleeper agent that is sent to a far land ,doesnt know who they are or what their mission is, until one day a certain phrase wakes them out of blocked memories they become active and start fulfilling their mission .this is what the foolishness of preaching does the gospel message calls men to life ,his sheep know his voice

Man you are so wrong

Genesis 4 adam bore children in His spiritually dead image!! God has to deal with two issues the Nature of spiritual Death and the Law of Sin and death that He gave in the Garden!! Jesus solved both issues!! He obeyed the law on His behalf and on our behalf He died as the demands of the law was Full obedience or death! Death of Jesus solved the issue of debt! He took the handwritings and crucified to the cross! He did it without you wanting it, accepting it, He did it when we were His enemies..... He forgives the World to make posssible the restoration of the Life of God in us! The life that departed after Adam sinned and invoked the law of sin and death which rained..... Now because all have been reconciled People believe accept the finished work of Jesus and You reconcile with the father by believing in the Son who has loved Us and proven to Us that it is not Us who love Him but Him loving us first is the manifestation of Grace and mercy!!! You believe and your a new creation ! You enter the chapter 11 of Hebrews the hall of fame, where the only reason these people are saints is because they Believed Their God!! Believe God!!!! and enter the New covenent which Jesus made with God him self and He is the obedient spotless lamb, not you or i!! The priest only concern ever was How spotless is YOUR lamb, not how sinful you are!! The entire narrative is of How Jesus is the perfect Lamb not you or me!! The blood of Jesus was enough not only to redeem forgive but He also gave us an Inheritance out of which we live out of!! Live freely! Enjoy your relationship where you can now know your God personally!! There is no more barriers, no more religion, no traditions, no laws, no sin counciousness as He has made our concousness clean once by His Sacrefice! You are already permanently sanctified by the Spirit who dwells in us for ever! There is no pursuit to please God, as the Lamb was more than satisfactory to the Nostrils of the Father as the aroma pleasing to Him!! Rest.... you already have everything for life And godliness.... there is no more God can reveal or give than what He has already given you which is Christ Him self!! There is no more search for blessings, because you have the One who is the biggest blessing dwelling in you!! Live from the abundance of what you already been given, and not striving to obtain something some day.....,, You have full forgiveness ... you have full love..... you have full acceptance where He is not ashamed of Us in any stAte we are in!! Freedom....... rest..realize how much He wants to fulfill your needs as He came to Serve you and not wise versa!!

As with all Calvinists, your conclusions of "for whom Christ died" are built somewhat on scripture, somewhat on the writings of men and mostly on preconceived ideas taught by men. You approach the scripture with a predetermined belief and read your beliefs into select, questionable verses. To say the belief that "Christ died for all men" makes you a universalist is a linguistic tactic, asinine, and makes for a convenient way to nuteralize your opponent. We are commanded to rightly divide God's word. When the Bible says Christ died for "many" (Matt. 20:28) it is quoted from the GOSPELS (O.T. economy) or the beginning of the book of Acts when the Kingdom of HEAVEN was still being offered to ISRAEL. When Paul says "ALL" (1Tim. 2:6) he was the apostle to the GENTILE WORLD and speaking in the age of grace in which we still live. The KINGDOM HEAVEN was first offered to the JEWS (MANY; Israel, NOT ALL PEOPLE). Because Gentiles were EXCLUDED from the kingdom because they worshipped pagan gods (Matt.10:5). After the JEWISH rejection of Christ and his resurrection, as prophecied, it became the SPIRITUAL KINGDOM of GOD. Jesus called Paul to preach the new gospel of grace ( That's why Paul called it "my gospel" Rom.3:16;16:25) and it is now offered to ANYONE (ALL) that will believe it. Calvinists can't rightly divide the word and twist scripture to fit their perverted, man-made theology. It must be remembered that the Gospels are technically in the O.T. economy until the death of Christ. (You can't apply Paul's gospel of grace salvation into the O.T. economy of following the law.) Observe...Jesus says; (Luke 19:9) "Jesus said unto him, This day is salvation come to this house, forsomuch as he also is a SON OF ABRAHAM." - JEWISH. In (John 4:22 KJV) "Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the JEWS." - JEWISH. In (Acts 2:36 " Therefore let ALL THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL know assuredly, that God hath made that same Jesus, whom ye have crucified, both Lord and Christ."- JEWISH. In the O.T. ONLY Israel, AS A NATION, is referred to as God's sheep ; his 'elect' AS A NATION, NOT AS INDIVIDUALS. 1 Chron.17:7; Ez.34:6,11,12- 2 Sam.7:8 ; David is taken from Gods sheepcote to be a leader. BUT not every Jew was made part of Christ's Kingdom of HEAVEN sheepcote, only those that received him. Today, not everyone is made part of Christ's bride and the spiritual KINGDOM OF GOD, only those that receive him. Calvinism makes a liar out of God in scripture, brainwashes it's followers and is satanic. It is pagan philosophy mixed with Augustine's form of Constantine's Christianity. Augustine is the father Catholicism. Calvin was a worshipper of Augustine and his writings. God makes it VERY CLEAR who is offered salvation. He makes it clear enough that even a Calvinist can understand it if they would only believe it ; (Revelation 22:17 KJV) "And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And WHOSOEVER WILL, let him take the water of life freely." - FREE WILL! - What more does God have to say to make you understand that man has free will and that salvation is offered to ALL? God also warns about messing with his book; (Revelation 22:18 KJV) "For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall ADD unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book: (Revelation 22:19 KJV) "And if any man shall TAKE AWAY from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book." - Calvinism is guilty of doing both.

It is an anti-gospel.

Romans 5:6-10 describes Jesus dying for sinners.... He reconciled the world forgiving the sins but that is not the salvation , because salvation is the Restoration of the holly spirit back into the person! Salvation became possible as the fact becausw God does not hold the sins against the world, everyone is forgiven reconciled, whole world , but only through faith one accepts the Holly spirit as the Life of Jesus!!! Forgiveness of sins is not salvation!!!!! 5:10 The death of Jesus reconciled All enemies without their desire, but only through the Resurrection of Jesus the Act of resurrection allows the salvation to take place, salvation is Being born of the spirit!

Calvinism makes the mistake of misunderstanding the essence of the Calvary sacrifice. They see the sacrifice as being quantitative, whereas it is not quantitative but qualitative, that is it was a perfect sacrifice, wherefore He is able to save to the uttermost all who come unto God by Him. The scriptures tell us that God is not willing for any to perish but that all should come to repentance. Yet some do perish which indicates that man has a free will to chose for or against the will of God. The perfect sacrifice on Calvary avails for all men without limit!

Adams fall is not more powerful than Christ's atonement . Christ reconciled all on the cross. All will eventually be with God

God knows who will turn to Him, Christ does His work on the cross for ALL who will choose Him; those who will choose Him, He already knows. I don't see an issue.

did Jesus die for everyone , Yes, according to scripture, He did . according to a man who wasnt saved , no

Set aside theology ! Take a bible as you have never read it!! Read it! The lamb bearing the Sin of the world! Means the sin of the world! If you look at the levitical seremonies and sacrefices you will see that Jesus reconciled the entire 70 families back with him self , yes they are all forgiven but they remain spiritually dead!! In the garden there were two issues that came up, the Sin and Spiritual Death of humanity!! Jesus needed to solve two problems, the issue with The law of sin and death! The payment for sin is spiritual death! Second issue was the spiritual death of humanity !! People do not go to heaven not because there is sin, but because they are Dead Dead zombies who need to be Born again!! The death of Christ for the whole worlds sin solved the issue of " the law of sin and death" romans 8:1-2 But one must believe in the Grace that came for all! One must accept the fact by believing in the fact and then He is Saved regenerated Born again!!! And the life inside is an everlasting life because There is no more sin that can be held accountable , there is no more law that can kill a spiritually alive Child!! The whole world is reconciled but they are stil dead, but because the forgiveness came for the world now that made it possible to be alive eternally!! Romans 5:5;10 clearly shows a dual stage or dual process, forgiveness of sins reconcilation is Made possible by the death of Jesus, but the life of Jesus what makes possible to be Saved Born Again To have the Life of God the Spirit of God the Holly spirit the breath of God restores saves , stamps you, seals you, sanctifies you forever once forever justifies and carries , leads you into every truth!!

The Calvinisn and the Reformed Theology! - both look absurd from all the verses you quoted in this post. "God predestined FEW elected few, - from their point of view " God's sovereignty "- again absurd- This is in everybody's point of view- is absolute PARTIALITY. You may try to defend it - who cares. We all know God is not PARTIAL - NOT RESPECTOR OF PERSONS. Under God's Sovereignty- DON'T MAKE GOD PARTIAL- THIS IS AGAINST GOD'S CHARACTERS. So "what's PREDESTINATION? the Bible and Paul are talking about? Adam was not created yet! God knew Adam was going to fall? So according to God's sovereignty " God has predestined Adam's fall! Doesn't it look absurd? Again, I WARN YOU DON'T CALL THAT AS GOD'S SOVEREIGNTY! If you are going to call this as God's sovereignty? IS HE GOD? OR HE IS JUST PLAYING WITH MANKIND? FOR ALL MY QUESTIONS THE BIBLE HAS ANSWERS! You THEOLOGIANS are just messing it up. You guys are interpreting the Bible- each one as they like with their own logical approach. The WORD of GOD should NEVER be interpreted LOGICALLY. Then it is not THE WORD OF GOD.
