Featured How 2 Cor 5:19 teaches limited atonement !

Its no secret most Christians appeal to 2 Cor 5:19 as a proof text that the scripture teaches that Christ died for all men without exception, for it reads:

To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation.

Many see the word world here assumes that it means everyone without exception. However the word world here is defined in a limited sense in that it does means:

kósmos (literally, "something ordered") – properly, an "ordered system" (like the universe, creation); the world.

an apt and harmonious arrangement or constitution, or der.

any aggregate or general collection of particulars of any sort

Any divinely ordered collection of particulars in the divine scheme of things is a World !

The word particulars is defined:

of or relating to a single or specific person, thing,group, class, occasion, etc., rather than to others or all; special rather than general:

Now with this in mind, the world of 2 Cor 5:19 is particular in that none of its citizens have their sins imputed to them, which is plainly stated of them here:

"God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them"


Which Act of God constitutes this World as a forgiven world, because we read in another place the consequence of non imputation of sin by God is this:

Rom 4:7-8

7 Saying, Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are covered.

8 Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin.

That world of particular individuals in 2 Cor 5:19 is a forgiven world whose sins are covered, and God will not charge them with their sins, not ever !


Now we know this cant apply to all without exception because there are individuals God will remember their sins against them, so they are still being charged with them, here Rev 18:4-5

And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.5 For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities.

Now these who shall have their sins remembered by God, cannot be of the World of 2 Cor 5:19, which means and confirms that the World in that scripture supports limited atonement, the reconciled world is limited to certain particulars !

 

Those in the world of 2 Cor 5:19 dont have sin charged to them, so they are totally Justified from sin. Now does that apply to all without exception ? Of course not. Those in Rev 18:4-5 have their sins charged to them and God remembers their sins ! 2

 

The world of 2 Cor 5:19 is free from sin. That lets us know its not the same world here thats condemned 1 Cor 11:32

32 But when we are judged, we are chastened of the Lord, that we should not be condemned with the world.

 

Doesnt matter if its different letters, its the same recipients.

1 Cor 1:2

2 Unto the church of God which is at Corinth, to them that are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be saints, with all that in every place call upon the name of Jesus Christ our Lord, both their's and our's:

2 Cor 1:1

Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, and Timothy our brother, unto the church of God which is at Corinth, with all the saints which are in all Achaia:

 

I disagree with you. Its Two different worlds, the one is 1 Cor 11:32 is condemned and distinguished from the elect

The world in 2 Cor 5:19 no sin sin is charged to it. Its Forgiven and Justified

 

How Jn 1:29 teaches limited atonement !

The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.

The world here is limited, its a particular world. Again the word world means:

any aggregate or general collection of particulars of any sort .

The world here in Jn 1:29 is limited to all them that have had their sins taken away ! 3

 

The world in 2 Cor 5:19 doesnt have the sin of unbelief charged to it, or its disobedience, because if it did, it couldn't be reconciled to God.

 

I dont see how Im wrong. One world is condemned 1 Cor 11:32 and one world is reconciled with no sin charged to it 2 Cor 5:19

 

No they were never condemned, yes they were enemies, but it was not imputed to them. God doesnt condemned sin people He doesnt charge with sin. Not that they are not sinners, but God doesnt impute it to them 2 Cor 5:19

19 To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation.

Thats a Gospel Truth by the way !

 

The world of Jn 1:29 its sin was taken away, so its unbelief was taken away. If one dies in unbelief and in their sins, they were not part of that world of Jn 1:29, impossible
