Hello<br><br>The problem i see with Christ dying for all men without exception is the fact that as a result all men would be be saved and none go to Hell. Criley, I would look into how scripture defines Atonement in the Old and New testaments(sp?) I would also look at the doctrine of the Substitutionary death of Christ. Paul I believe goes through this in the book of Romans. Romans 5 would be a good place too start. I believe the Scriptures teach that "propitiation" and "Atonement" are very definite acts and therefore are not subjective in any way. Jeremiah 31:31-34 and Ezekiel 36:24-27 are good places too start. Oh....and some good Reformed /Calvinistic authors wouldnt hurt either [img]http://www.the-highway.com/w3timages/icons/grin.gif" alt="grin" title="grin[/img]<br><br>PS: If I put my response in the wrong order let me know [img]http://www.the-highway.com/w3timages/icons/smile.gif" alt="smile" title="smile[/img]<br><br>
