Let me first direct you to the excellent thread by mazaje: "There is no freewill in the Bible so enough of the lies"

I am presenting Bible truths below that atonement is limited, that freewill does not exist in the Bible and that the number of men who will receive salvation are many but those who will get to heaven are even fewer (the remnant of the seed of the woman). The final great truth is that anybody not ordained to life is cursed to hell and there is nothing they can do about it:


Eph 5:25
25 Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her[color=#990000][/color]
Who did Christ die for? the church and the church only! The church members are saved whether they like it or not. Does not the Bible call Christ the husband of the church or bride cant remember exactly.

Eph 5:23
For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church, his body, of which he is the Savior.
OF WHICH HE IS SAVIOR - it is limited. Only such as should be saved are saved!

Eph 5:23
For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church, his body, of which he is the Savior.
OF WHICH HE IS SAVIOR - it is limited. Only such as should be saved are saved!

John 3: 16 For God so loved the world that he gave his only son....

How do we reconcile these two verses? The answer is in LIMITED ATONEMENT. Yes Christ died for the whole world but the death is effectual to the elect (the remnant of the seed of the woman). This means that the preordained unsaved will go to hell and some Christians also who are not the remnant of the seed of the woman will likewise go to hell(the parable of the sower) and:

"And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ." (Rev. 12:17)

So yes Christ died for all mankind but that death is only effectual for the elect (remnant of the seed of the woman). The rest are cursed to everlasting punishment and they cant do anything about it for it was ordained!
