A friend who attends one of your churches made a comment the other day that Jesus \u201cdidn\u2019t die for everyone.\u201d I was curious as to his doctrine. <\/strong><\/p>\n

It sounds as though your friend may be something of Calvinist \u2014 one who accepts the teaching of Protestant reformer John Calvin regarding predestination. Calvinists understand the Bible to teach that, before the Creation, God knew every individual who would ever live and chose precise\u00adly which of these would be saved. It is only for the chosen, the \u201celect,\u201d that Jesus came to die, because \u201cif Jesus died for the whole world, then the whole world would be saved.\u201d<\/p>\n

Although not common among us, this view of \u201climited atonement\u201d \u2014 that Christ died only for the elect \u2014 may be held by a few members. It faces the difficulty of contradicting a plain Scripture that says Jesus \u201cis the propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only but also for the whole world\u201d (1 John 2:2; see also John 3:16; Romans 5:18; 1 Timothy 2:4-6; Hebrews 2:9).<\/p>\n
