The Extent of the Atonement with David Allen 

Man, I'm so glad you interviewed Dr David Allen

Love the analogy of the restaurant. I think what needs to be said is this, while God in Christ was reconciling the world to Himself (the false profits that He bought) we shall be save by His life. There seems to be a distinction between His death for the world and reconciling new life at belief in Christ.

This was awesome keep up the great work!

ive been studying the issue of the extent of the atonement for YEARS. and i am utterly convinced that limited atonement is absolute Bible truth, and that unlimited atonement is false and very un-biblical.

At 12:12 Dr. Allen says the extent of the atonement in salvation is defined as : "If they will meet Gods condition of repentence of sin and faith "in" Jesus Christ." This summarized explanation of his 800+ page book is, in his own words, broken down to this simple explaination. Where in the Holy Writ does it say an unregenerate is capable of "repenting" of sin prior to being "in" Christ? Where in fact, does it say in the Holy Writ thst man can earn Gods grace by their unregenerate work of repenting from sin? Verse references please. Dr. Allen puts regeneration after the unregenerate repents from sin. Why did Christ come again? If an unregenerate can repent from sin prior to being "in" Christ, where is the power of Gods grace in Christ Jesus needed?

Limited atonement also compromises and confuses the glory of God by at least suggesting God receives glory by sending to hell those He did not atone for.

Here's just one, of a vast majority, verses clearly depicting limited atonement. John 10:25-29 😢 Jesus answered them, I told you, and ye believed not: the works that I do in my Father's name, they bear witness of me. [26]👉 But ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep👈, as I said unto you. [27] My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: [28] And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. [29] My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand.

But is someone rejects Christ then their sins aren’t atoned for. So wouldn’t that be limited atonement because it’s only applies to those who believe? Allen is then saying that people still have their sins atoned for even if they reject Christ. So I guess there’s wasted atonement on the part of Christ sacrifice? Explain?

This is the issue not 1 person is saved by the atonement so if not 1 person is saved by the atonement be applied after belief it's already happened 2000 years ago. Past present and futur
