The Issue of Limited Atonement

[brightfame52]

Do you have any idea how crazy this sounds.

The Gospel is known to sound foolish to some.

Now you say that
The incarnation of Christ was to target not all mankind but a particular segment, the adopted children of God Per Heb 2:14

Yes in Vs 16 they are called the seed of Abraham, again a particular people in the world Heb 2:16

16 For verily he took not on him the nature of angels; but he took on him the seed of Abraham.
For indeed He does not give aid to angels, but He does give aid to the seed of Abraham.

The book of Hebrews was written to Jewish Christians

But not to them only, its also to the Church all who have partaken of the heavenly calling

Heb 3

Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our profession, Christ Jesus;

The Gentile church is also holy brethren 1 Thess 5 27

I charge you by the Lord that this epistle be read unto all the holy brethren.

And all brethren go through persecution and trails and suffering for their faith,

So this post confirms limited atonement, the atonement of Christ is for a specific people the seed of Abraham, a Spiritual Seed

Jesus says in a quite matter of fact way, He came specifically to lay down His Life for the Sheep that Father has given Him Jn 10:15,29

15 As the Father knoweth me, even so know I the Father: and I lay down my life for the sheep.

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.

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.

And when I chose to believe and grow my faith because of what I learned , I became one of those sheep.

Talking about yourself. Boasting

When Jesus came to save sinners, He was made like unto them specifically, His Brethren Heb 2:17

17 Wherefore in all things it behoved him to be made like unto his brethren, that he might be a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God, to make reconciliation for the sins of the people

He didn't come to make reconciliation for the sins for all mankind, but for the sins of His brethren/ the people
The people has the definite article,

ὅθεν ὤφειλεν κατὰ πάντα τοῖς ἀδελφοῖς ὁμοιωθῆναι ἵνα ἐλεήμων γένηται καὶ πιστὸς ἀρχιερεὺς τὰ πρὸς τὸν θεόν εἰς τὸ ἱλάσκεσθαι τὰς ἁμαρτίας τοῦ λαοῦ

And the brethren in Vs 17 qre not ethnic jews from the nation of israel per se, but for the them His brethren in the purpose of God to be conformed to His image Rom 8 29

29 For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.

His atonement was and is particularly for them.
