Limited Atonement: "Is that Biblical?" (James White)

He shall see the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied: by his knowledge shall my righteous servant JUSTIFY MANY; for he shall bear their iniquities.
(Isa 53:11)

Here is one of the best works in print about the concept of limited atonement. It has been said that one who wishes to refute limited atonement must refute the contents of this book to have a valid argument. It's called "The Death of Death in the Death of Christ". It's by the puritan John Owen:

Another good one from James White.

Arminianism really doesn't make any sense, either Biblically or logically.

[ChristianZionist]

# "just as it is written, 'God gave them a spirit of stupor, eyes to see not and ears to hear not, down to this very day,'" (Rom. 11:8).

# "And He was saying to them, "To you has been given the mystery of the kingdom of God; but those who are outside get everything in parables, 12in order that while seeing, they may see and not perceive; and while hearing, they may hear and not understand lest they return and be forgiven,"

(Mark 4:11-12)

[polopowers1]

believers remember the death of Christ is first primarily to reveal the extolling Nature of God. To forgive sins to explain how God would produce eternal one fellowship is not the platform. It is God's Nature revealed. God is satisfied with Christ He cannot become unsatisfied. Christ died for the elect if He died for all His death unto God is not primary but secondary to saving. God did with exaltation unequaled He met Himself in Virtue to save. His Son by Nature meets exactly His Nature,

To ARMINIANS -Romans 11:32 "for God has shut up all to unbelief, that he might have mercy on all".

To CALVINISTS -1 Timothy 4:10"for for this we both labour and are reproached, because we hope on the living God, who is Saviour of ALL MEN ESPECIALLY y of those believing."

DOUBTERS I Cor. 15:23-28"But every man in his own order:..For He must reign until He has put all enemies under His feet..last enemy...destroyed is DEATH... Son also Himself be subject unto Him..that God may be ALL IN ALL"

[Jesse859]

@ATLpirate I agree, but neither does Calvinism. There will be no more "ism's" in heaven, whether it be Calvinism, Arminianism, Morminism or whatever. It is obvious that every one of them simply causes pride in it's followers.

And how anyone can think that this is logical or biblical is mind boggeling. 1 John 2:2 clearly destroys limited atonement in spite of how some "ism" tries to explain away the plain meaning of it (a trait which is common among the followers of ALL the "ism's").

If we look at the symbolism of blood and water on the day of atonement ceremony then we realise it represents the Spirit (eternal life) which Christ came to give. Jn 7:39

[Icannottolerateit]

We need preachers who go beyond mere study and mental worship to true and deep belief. The kind that does not prepare sermons but who are walking sermons. The kind of church that is not formal and structured but comparatively spontaneous because it follows the urgings of the spirit. The kind of church that meets not a few times a week but hours everyday with no intention of returning to "normal life".

God help the church.....especially in America where it is most deluded.

[polopowers1]

Christ cannot become un satisfactory to God once He has become satisfactory.Christ satisfied God no ta potential for man to believe .

[fenysy]

Thank you so much for this sermon! It helped me so much to understand, and to reason for a perfect Savior. May God help you in your ministry.

How many orphans adopt their parents?

How do you figure that if Christ died for all people then all would go to heaven? What Christ did makes it possible for anyone to go to heaven if it's what they wish. Gotta read more than Ephesians, Corinthians, Galatians, Romans, Hebrews...you get it I hope. The 13 Letters written by Paul are important, but don't disregard the rest. What did Jesus say to Nicodemus in John

[rpavich]

You missed this one:

John 1:10

He was in the world, and the world was created by him, but the world did not recognize him.

Are you going to say that here the world means "everyone who ever lived?"

How about here:

John 18:20

Jesus replied, I have spoken publicly to the world...

Does "the world" here mean "everyone who ever lived"?

No...of course not...in the first case it means "the world of the unbelievers" and in the second case it means "publicly without hiding"
