P-Marlowe, I think you are just being argumentative for argumentativeness sake. I gave you my verse. You clearly don't believe in effectual atonement, and I do. I don't do bumper stickers. That was your phrase. The Bible doesn't contradict itself. Jesus died for the sheep. His blood doesn't pay for the sins of those who don't believe. His blood reaches its intended target.

Of course I do. I also accept the fact that Christ went to the cross to die, not for our sins only, but for the sins of the whole world. God knew who would be saved, so the effect of the atonement is limited to those who believe, but the target of the atonement was the sins of the whole world. There are dozens of verses that point out that fact.

"He paid a debt He did not owe, because we owed a debt we could not pay".

Pretty good bumper sticker, eh?
