What that idea would mean is that Christ did not save anyone on the cross , it was simply a potential salvation." It " is still not finished.

And then:

It was the atonement ...now if it was complete as you interpret complete , then we have no need for missionaries or preaching the Gospel because all mankind is saved.

So is "it" finished or not? You contradict yourself.

If you can accept that salvation was won on the Cross but we still need "missionaries and preaching..." then you intelelctually understand that while the Crucifixion is over, the effects are still being played out and that they require our participation.

So why you act mystified when we say the same thing, that the Crucifixion is over, but it still need to be played out by having each individual accept it, is beyond me.

The simplest questioning shatters the myth of Calvinism being a coherent system.

If God foreknew all that would be saved, then Jesus would have have known for whom He died, He would know when it was finished.

So, you are saying, basically, that the only people whose sins are not responsible for Jesus being Crucified are those who go to hell?

It was finished for those that would repent and believe .. there was no sacrifice for the sin of those that did not repent and believe.

I am consistent if you read with understanding. If the atonement was for all man kind ..there would be no need for the gospel to be preached . no need for a church ...All would be saved
