2 Peter 2:1 poll.

[37818]

Who is the Lord the false teachers deny who had bought them?

2 Peter 2:1, ". . . But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction. . . ."

 

[Van]

The effort to deny that Christ bought those to be saved and those never to be saved in order to defend "Limited Atonement" is why some claim the "Lord" does not refer to Christ's death on the cross.

If we listed all the verses that must be nullified by those pushing "Limited Atonement" it would be quite a list.
1) God does not desire all people to be saved.
2) Christ did not lay down His life as a ransom for all.
3) Christ did not die for the unjust.
4) Christ did not die for the ungodly
5) Christ did not die for all
6) Christ did not taste death for everyone
7) Christ did not lay down His life for the sheep
8) Christ did not die once for all.

Rewriting the inspired text to poor false doctrine into scripture 101

God desires all people to be saved who were chosen before creation.
God did lay down His life as a ransom for all who were chosen before creation.
God did die for some of the unjust
God did die for some of the ungodly.
God did die for all who were chosen before creation
Christ tasted death for everyone who was previously chosen before creation.
Christ did lay down His life for the sheep who were previously chosen before creation.
Christ did die once for all those previously chosen before creation.
