I simply need to know if we should take the atonement as a universal attempt(1Joh 2:2) to salvage all mankind, or an accomplished sacrifice(Matt 1:21) for a specific peoples.

Your question is evolving and changing. First, it was just about a couple of verses. After I explained the verses and showed that you weren't supporting one side of the argument with this particular verse, you left that argument from the verse and started asking the general questions that you're asking now.

Since you do not have a tenable argument from Matthew 1:21, I think you can answer your own question. Can't you?

I'm here to discuss alleged Bible errors. If you can't find one or don't know one, then that is perfectly fine. So far, you haven't illustrated that these verses contradict each other. On the other hand, I have shown how they do not contradict each other.

Sincerely,
Jason
