No, I'm asking for just ONE verse that says in very plain unambiguous words that Christ either DIDN'T die for everyone, or that He ONLY died for some.
Is that too difficult to find?
I've already given you a number of verses that make clear that He DID die for everyone. And you didn't even try to refute any of them.
From that website:
All whom God has elected and for whom Christ died will be saved (
Matthew 1:21;
John 10:11;
17:9;
Acts 20:28;
Romans 8:32;
Ephesians 5:25).
I asked for just ONE unambiguous verse that says that Christ either "didn't die for everyone" or that His death was "only for some".
And...NONE of the verses on that Calvinist website provided ANY unambiguous verses that support limited atonement.
Calvinists wade into false doctrine when they take "total depravity" too far and claim that man cannot respond to the gospel.
TD ONLY means that man is unable to save himself. Responding to the gospel is NOT "saving oneself".
1 Cor 1:21 says "God is pleased...to save those who believe". So those who believe are saved by God, not themselves.
More Calvinist error. Election isn't even about salvation. So I challenge you to find ANY verse that shows that salvation is by election.
While you're at it, consider 1 Cor 1:27,28
27But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise; God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong.
28 God chose the lowly things of this world and the despised things—and the things that are not—to nullify the things that are,
In EVERY verse that gives a purpose for election, it is ALWAYS service. Never salvation.
Already refuted.
None of these verses teach IG. In fact, John 6:44 is explained in the next verse, 45. it is those who have "listened and learned" who will come to Christ. Again, response is free. Those who pay attention come to faith.
The biblical doctrine is PRESERVATION of the saints (OSAS) not perseverance. The Bible makes very clear that believers may turn away from the faith. The parable of the soils showed that in soils 2 and 3.
