Doesn;t the truth Of a Covenant relationship assume definite atonement?

    For if the Old and new Covenants were to be based upon sinners being reconciled back to a Covenant relationship with God, wouldn't that infer that God would be choosing Jesus as a definite atoner towards his covenant peoples?

    Just seems so obvious in the scriptures, that God always called out and kept a covenant people for Him underthe Old Covenat, how much more so under the New one?

    Why invent a gospel based on "extreme inference"??

    The Bible says of Christ's atoning sacrifice "he is the atoning sacrifice for our sins and not for our sins only but for the sins of the WHOLE World' 1John 2:2.

    Thus God did not argue for "limited atoning sacrifice" as Calvinists do - but rather "unlimited atoning sacrifice' as Arminians do.

    So while it is true that there must be a limited atonement - since all are not saved in the end -- it is not true that there must also be a limited Atoning Sacrifice.

    A lot of Calvinists miss that detail.

    in Christ,

    Bob
