[BibChr]

Don't rush past sheltonmac's question; it really is the death of your position, if Scripture's what drives you. Was Christ's intent on the Cross to save sinners, as Scripture says (1 Timothy 1:15, etc.)? Or to save nobody in particular, but make it possible for everyone (including the already-dead damned?) to save himself?

How many sins did Christ pay for? If for all, why would anyone go to Hell? For what sin would be be being punished? For unbelief? Is that not a sin? Is that the sin Christ didn't die for?

Think it through.

How many sins did Christ pay for? If for all, why would anyone go to Hell? For what sin would be be being punished? For unbelief? Is that not a sin? Is that the sin Christ didn't die for?...Think it through.

"Think it through." Amen.

By the grace of God, I thought it through until I was forced by the logic of Scripture to finally understand -- Christ died for the sheep whom the Father had given Him to gather and protect from before the foundation of the world.

All who possess Trinitarian faith in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior are among His flock. But they believe by the grace of God alone, whether they know it or not.
