    I believe in a general redemption. I also understand redemption is particular when it comes to being saved. Now the Puritan John Owen in his book, The Death of Death in the Death of Christ, makes a near exhaustive case against the notion of general redemption. But they are not concise but long arguments. This work needs nevertheless to be understood, it is that important. I am not done studying this work.

    There are some serious problems with that article.

    "How can one dead in trespasses and sins answer of the Call of God?"

    The word of God is living, Hebrews 4:12. And it's hearing gives faith, Romans 10:17.

    How did Lazarus, who was physically dead, answer the call of God?

    Is anything too hard for God?

    Before faith.
    Hebrews 12:2
    Looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God.

    Romans 1:16 says nothing about faith coming first. In fact it confirms God first, faith second.

    For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek.

    Saving faith is a gift from God. Men do not have it.

    General Redemption....could you define that?

    Is it actual redemption?

    Does it Redeem?

    Or only potential?

    Who are the objects?

    These verses do not address the issue in question. They are not saying what you think they are.

    "37818,

    This is a definite work of God. It saves a multitude of sinners who the Father has given to the Son.
    37 All that the Father giveth me shall come to me;
    and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out.

    Can you explain your view of this"general atonement, in light of jn 6:37?

    That is an interpertation. That is no where so stated in the word of God.

    General Redemption....could you define that?John Owen's term.

    Is it actual redemption? Yes per 1 John 2:2, which John Owen denies has that meaning.

    Does it Redeem? Does Christ redeem?

    Or only potential? Was for only those who never accept Christ.

    Who are the objects? The whole world per 1 John 2:2.
