No, its not too difficult to explain.
Its too difficult for you to understand.
Why don't we just get over this snarky kind of attitude. It doesn't benefit your argument in the least.
I was being nice with my wording.
Well, aren't you just spiffy.
Christ did not die for everyone. Christ died for the elect.
Really? OK, prove that the following verses CANNOT mean everyone, from context.
John 1:7 He (John the Baptist) came for a witness, that he might bear witness of the Light (Christ), that
all (pas) might believe through him.
John 1:29 Behold the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the
world.
John 3:16, 17 For God so loved the
world, that He gave His uniquely born Son, that
whosoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have everlasting life. (17) …not to judge the world, but that the
world should be saved through Him.
John 4:42 This One is indeed the
Savior of the world.
John 17:21 that they may all be one, even as thou, Father, art in Me, and I in thee, that they also may be in Us:
that the world may believe that Thou didst send Me.
Luke 9:55-56
55 But He turned and rebuked them, and said, "You do not know what manner of spirit you are of. 56 For the Son of Man
did not come to destroy men's lives but to save them." And they went to another village. No mention of the "elect".
Acts 17:27 God did this (created mankind) so
that men would seek Him and perhaps
reach out for Him and find Him, though He is not far from each one of us. (see also Heb 11:6 regarding mankind having the ability to look for God, in contrast to point 1 of Calvinism)
Acts 17:30 In the past God overlooked such ignorance, but now He commands
all (pas) people everywhere to repent. See also 2 Pet 3:9
Rom 5:6 In due time, when we were without strength, Christ died for the ungodly. (that’s every human), not just the “elect” per point 3 of Calvinism. Consider Rom 3:23 ‘for ALL have sinned, and come short’
Rom 11:32 For God has bound
all (pas) men over to disobedience, so that He may have mercy on
them all (pas). Cf: Rom 3:23, 6:23, Rom 5:6,8 All humans are sinful and Christ died for all of them.
Luke 19:10 "For the Son of Man has come to seek and to save
that which was lost." In 5 point Calvinism, elect aren’t really “lost” since they were elected, so just what does this verse mean?
Obviously, the entire human race is lost and is in need of a Savior. So the Son of Man came to seek and save the entire human race.
2 Cor 5:14,15 For Christ’s love compels us, because we are convinced that one died for
all, and therefore
all died. And He
died for all (pas), that those who live should no longer live for themselves but for Him who died for them and was raised again.
2 Cor 5:19 that God was
reconciling the world to Himself in Christ, not counting men’s sins against them. And He has committed to us the message of reconciliation.
Heb 2:9 But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels, now crowned with glory and honor because he suffered death, so that by the grace of God He might
taste death for everyone (pas).
Titus 2:11 For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to
all (pas) men. Everyone
1 Tim 1:15 Here is a trustworthy saying that deserves full acceptance:
Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners-of whom I am the worst. See Rom 3:23, 6:23 All of humanity are sinners!
1 Tim 2:3,4 This is good and pleases God our Savior, who
wants all (pas) men to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth (Christ-Jn 14:6, Jn 8:32, 12:32) Note the potential: Christ wants all men to be saved. The concept of limited atonement just doesn’t fly in light of this verse.
1 Tim 2:6 Who gave Himself as a ransom for
all (pas) men, the testimony given in its proper time.
1 Tim 4:10 (and for this we labor and strive), that we have put our hope in the living God, who is the
Savior of all (pas) men, and
especially (malista) of those who believe.
Malista: chiefly, most of all, specially
2 Peter 3:9 The Lord is not slow in keeping His promise, as some understand slowness. He is patient with you,
not wanting anyone to perish, (has not predetermined that) but
everyone (pas) to come to repentance.
1 John 2:2 He is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not only for ours but also for the sins of the
whole (holos) world. Holos: all, all together, every whit, throughout, whole
Rev 22:17
Whosoever wishes, (let him) take the water of life freely. [eternal life is a free gift] and it is potential; in other words, man has free will to believe or reject God’s promise of eternal life through Christ.
1 John 4:14 And we have seen and testify that the Father has sent His Son to be the
Savior of the world.
Christ certainly did die for everyone. All these verses make that clear.
