Exclusively Christian TheologyThis forum is exclusively for those who consider themselves Christian and consider the Bible to be the inspired word of God.
Jesus did not die for everyone that ever lived but only for the church or the "elect". In problem text they teach "all men" only refers to: "all the elect men" or just "some men". When they say judgment came upon all men by the offense of one (Adam) __what does that mean? Did judgment only come upon the elect men? Upon just some men? Obviously, it came upon everyone that has ever lived "for in Adam all die". For all have sinned and have come short of the glory of God". None can save themselves regardless of any right standing with God that He might bless it. Understanding the OT satisfies that issue. When compared to what is required for man's salvation, that which God can find favor with in man for blessing him, is as filthy rags when considering his salvation. So how does the word "all" change meanings from "everyone that has ever lived" to "every elect man" in the same sentence?

Easy. Calvinism teaches Adam represented all (not just some) of the human race, while Christ is the representative for all (not just some) of the elect.

Thats True, to teach otherwise is a False Gospel, a Lie !
Rom 2:28-29
28 For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly; neither is that circumcision, which is outward in the flesh:
29 But he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God.

And thats error, for Adam only Represented the Seed of Abraham !
