<blockquote><font size=1>In reply to:</font><hr>[color:"blue"]If He only intended to redeem a single group out of world why would He have let these other people be born if it is only to destroy them in Hell?</font><hr></blockquote><p><br><br>Uh, that's the point of Rom. 9:15--21. God has the right to decide whom He will save and whom He will not. It is not for us to question, but we are to trust that it all works to God's glory and the good of His children.<br><br><blockquote><font size=1>In reply to:</font><hr>[color:"blue"]Why did Christ die for the sins of the unredeemed? It should not be so very hard to understand. If they were never eligible for salvation in the first place, God could not condemn them for being sinners. How could say that they are guilty of rebellion, if repentance was never within their grasp?</font><hr></blockquote><p><br><br>Adam, as the head of mankind, has his sin imputed to us. Thus we all fall under the condemnation of Adam. Adam also passes his curse, original sin, on to us. Thus we are all born with sinful natures. In the same way, Christ, as the head of His Church, has His righteousness imputed to us. Thus we all fall under the justification of Christ, the Second Adam. Christ also passes His blessing, the Holy Spirit, on to us. Thus we are born again with new natures. If Christ actually did die for the sins of all men, then all are redeemed, all have His righteousness imputed to them, all are born again with new natures.
