The Highway Forums General Discussion Theology Discussion Forum For Whom Did Christ Die?

Pilgrim, I believe that your vs freewill limits the grace of God. The Son's sacrifice provided the perfect means of reconciliation for "all" men. Just because all men do not have the blood applied to the "doorposts" of their hearts doesn't mean it isn't available. It isn't a vs situation. Sufficient grace has been provided, the issue comes down to upon whom does the Spirit apply it. I personally disagree with how Owen looks at the atonement, my view is that it is available to everyone even though it is only the who become beneficiaries of it. Don't limit the grace of God, that isn't who He is. If it were possible for the lost to show faith in Christ without the Spirit, (which they can't) they would be saved.
