"It kinda cheapens what Christ did on the cross when one claims that He didn't die for everyone. That his grace is not sufficient for everyone. That he only died for a select few. That his grace can only apply to a select few. That attonment is limited by God and the limited sacrafice of Christ."

"It kinda cheapens" what Christ did on the cross to say that His death might have saved everybody, but didn't actually save anybody. That is the non-Calvinist "construct".

God is a Being of infinite worth.

When man trangresses against God, he is committing a transgression of infinite magnitude. He has fallen short of the glory of God.

The just condemnation of such a man is of infinite separation.

When a Being of infinite worth suffers on behalf of a man whose transgression is of infinite magnitude then He has made a Propitiation of infinite value.

Any man to whom such a Propitiation is imputed is perfectly and eternally restored.

And because by one man all men became transgressors of infinite magnituded, so the Propitiation of a Being of infinite worth perfectly restores all to whom such a Propitiation is imputed.


A lack of belief of such a Being or a lack of belief of such a Propitiation is a slap in the face and is a transgression of infinite magnitude against the Being of infinite worth.
