As is typical of all Arminians and those who hold to a universal atonement, which btw is no atonement at all for it is insufficient to actually save, you are pitting those passages which speak in universal terms against those which speak in specific terms. Christ only came to redeem "His own", His sheep:


John 10:11 (ASV) "I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd layeth down his life for the sheep."



For a detailed exegesis of 1Tim 2:4, see here: An Exegetical Study of 1Timothy 4:10

Your reply, btw, didn't address the problems which I pointed out that exist in your view. Will you address them? as well as averagefellar's question, which although he's asked of you on several occasions, you have chosen to avoid?

In His Grace,
