The Issue of Limited Atonement

[jeremiah1five]

He reconciled the world that does not have sin charged to it

He reconcile the "world" of Hebrews.

1 I say the truth in Christ, I lie not, my conscience also bearing me witness in the Holy Ghost,
2 That I have great heaviness and continual sorrow in my heart.
3 For I could wish that myself were accursed from Christ for my brethren, my kinsmen according to the flesh:
4 Who are Israelites; to whom pertaineth the adoption, and the glory, and the covenants, and the giving of the law, and the service of God, and the promises;
5 Whose are the fathers, and of whom as concerning the flesh Christ came, who is over all, God blessed for ever. Amen.
Romans 9:1–5.

4 But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law,
5 To redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons.
Galatians 4:4–5.

Genesis to Revelation is a story and history of God and His covenant people the children of Israel (Isaac, and Abraham.) God made no covenant with Gentiles. If He did we would know what this Gentile's name is.

He reconciled the world that does not have sin charged to it. Notice about the world inn 2 Cor 5:19

19 To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation.

This is the Gospel , the word of reconciliation the Apostles preached, so you better be in line with it friend. And stop worrying about ethnicity.

Verse 19 clearly speaks of the world

2 Corinthians 5:19 (NASB95) — 19 namely, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not counting their trespasses against them, and He has committed to us the word of reconciliation.

World never means the elect

Lastly, by the word world, in the Scripture in hand, is not meant the elect, nor any thing equivalent hereunto, is evident also from the context in the verse and words immediately following, where our Saviour goeth forward in his doctrine, thus: “For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through him might be…

iii. The World
1. But what about election? There is nothing in this text about it. God so loved the world—not a portion of the world—not the elect. The elect are only a part of the world and chosen out of it…
The Great Texts of the Bible: St. John I–XII, Jn 3:16, p 191

The Work of Christ in John’s Gospel, Epistles, and Revelation
Most interpreters acknowledge that John’s statements indicate that God loves and Jesus died for the entire human race.20 John’s use of the word “world” in his writings precludes equating “world” with the elect or believers only…
The Work of Christ, p 83

A theology of limited atonement is contrary to scripture

1 John 2:2 (LEB) — 2 and he is the propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world.

Were there truth in a theology of limited atonement then

1 John 2:2 would read, “He is the propitiation for our [elect] sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of those who comprise the world of elect people.”

Verse 19 clearly speaks of the world

Correct, yet its a distinct world from the rest of the world, this world of people dont have sin charged to them. Read the verse carefully 2 Cor 5:19

19 To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation.

So its limited, for many in the world have their sins against them
