The Issue of Limited Atonement

[JLB]

I showed it to you and you still can't see it

God loves the unsaved people of the world.

For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.

God loves the world. So far you or anyone else has yet to provide any scriptures that says God hates the world.

For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.
John 3:16-17

God desires that the world through His Son would be saved.

• who desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.

For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior, who desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth. 1 Timothy 2:3-4


So far you have not provided any scriptures that says God doesn’t want all men to be saved.

It seems to me that when men obey what man says ( John Calvin, ect. ) rather than what God says, there is grave error!
It also seems to me as though some think they know more or better than what God's plan is.

We may NOT have the complete letter but please let us have the Right SPIRIT. The letter will do little for a soul without the Spirit !
2 Corinthians 2:3-6 .....Who also hath made us able ministers of the new testament; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life.”

That’s John 3:17.

For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved. John 3:17

• but that the world through Him might be saved.

Thats the elect, and He saved that world.

God loves the unsaved people of the world.

Not so if they not elect, for instance The unsaved workers of iniquity God didnt love, but hated. Read Ps 5:5

 

[Obadiah]

Thats the elect, and He saved that world.

It's a name for the people of Israel, whom God chose as His special instruments. As a holy people set apart to worship God, they were to make His name known throughout the earth (Ex. 19:4–6…

Has nothing to do with nationality, the saved world of Jn 3:17 is multi racial

@Obadiah is right, of course.

The people of Israel are called the elect of God....because He chose them from whom to reveal Himself.
We are also the elect of God....
BUT BASED ON HIS CONDITIONS:
BELIEVE IN JESUS
OBEY

A God that would pick and choose who would be saved based on NO CONDITIONS AT ALL...
would be an UNJUST God....

And since we know that God is a JUST GOD....
Calvinist theology must necessarily be wrong.
