Is "limited atonement" real?

Well, what does the Bible say?

Remember how the Lord Jesus explained this to His disciples and the people hearing Him on shore?


So, God is not the "bad guy" after all.



It's always best to believe what the Lord Jesus has to say, for He alone knows and understands what God is talking about.

Regardless if you believe enemy blinded them or not, God saved some and chose not to save others with the exact same potential.

Okay, first of all, “limited atonement” has nothing to do with Google definitions, Yahoo forum boards or Wikipedia opinions.

Second, while my peers were learning the A, B, C and counting by two’s, Yours Truly was learning about “limited atonement” directly from the pews and practiced at home. LOL.

In a nutshell, “limited atonement” is basically the Bible doctrine that although Jesus Christ DID die to save ALL sinners, only those responding to the call to be saved are their sins atone for; they are redeemed.

In other words, everybody is invited to the party, but only those who actually show up for the party get cake. That’s where the “limited atonement” is applied: to those redeemed is salvation applied, but to those refusing to be redeemed salvation is NOT applied although salvation is still available to them.

BTW, I'm not a Calvinist; I'm only a sinner saved by God's grace.

That's actually the opposite position: unlimited atonement. Limited atonement is that he died only for the elect.

Yeah, I noticed that too. but where she writes
"In other words, everybody is invited to the party, but only those who actually show up for the party get cake."
You could argue is limited atonement.
