Can this apply to a gentile who had not the Law and was therefore not under the curse of the law (the curse being: anyman that does not do ALL the Law must die)? Gentiles were neither under the Law nor the curse - the Law was to the Jews only as Peter affirms in Acts 15! So did Christ take our physical punishment on the cross? IF we are Jewish he did.(Gal 3:13) Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree:
Here Christ Atoned not only for Jews by removing their curse, but for Gentiles by offering himself for sin. He shed his blood as a sacrifice, and bought the church with it. He washes us by it coninually if we are truly Christians and walking in the light.(Heb 10:12) But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God;
Not really. Calvinism does think that Christ's atonement is effective for a particular group of people, not because Christ's blood is "used up" after it is applied to that group, but because the atonement was made on behalf of that particular group.Calvinism thinks of Christ's blood as deminishing when used.
