[h=2]How 2 Cor 5:19 teaches limited atonement !2[/h]
2 Cor 5:17-19
[FONT="][SIZE=4][FONT=Arial][B]17[/B][/FONT][B]Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature:[/B] old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.[/SIZE][/FONT][/COLOR]
[COLOR=#000000][FONT="]18 And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation;[/FONT]
[FONT="]19 To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation.
Now the World in 2 Cor 5:19 cant possibly be all without exception because those of this World are new creatures in Christ Vs 17. All men Christ died for Vs 14-15 are new creatures, their sins have been put away, and they are new creatures by Justification and reconciliation ! Now this cannot be said of the world that shall be condemned 1 Cor 11:32
32 But when we are judged, we are chastened of the Lord, that we should not be condemned with the world.
Now is the reconciled world in 2 Cor 5:19 the same as the condemned world in 1 Cor 11:32 ? The answer is NO ![/FONT]
Amen. They are opposite worlds.
The reconciled world Jesus prays for, are
those given Him of the Father in Election Eph. 1:4, His Sheep.
John 10:27-29
27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: 28 And
I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. 29
My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand.
But the condemned world consists of the reprobates; the world of those which Jesus does not pray for.
John 17:9
I pray for them [Sheep]:
I pray not for the world [goats], but for
them which thou hast given me; for
they are thine.
The world of the reprobates / goats has the devil for their father John 8:44; Mat. 13:38b: "the tares are the children of the wicked one;"
Christ's Atonement was Limited exclusively to His Seed, His Sheep, Chosen in Him to have forgiveness of sins Eph. 1:4-7.
Is. 53:6
All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way;
and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.
Is. 53:10-11
10 Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise him; he hath put him to grief: when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin,
he shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of the LORD shall prosper in his hand. 11 He shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied: by his knowledge shall my righteous servant
justify many;
for he shall bear their iniquities.
