And I can relate with those that think that this is a "hard saying".NPEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05876228480961585856noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14603359.post-1125033183464769412005-08-25T22:13:00.000-07:002005-08-25T22:13:00.000-07:00Very good post, though I've got to admit I spent a...Very good post, though I've got to admit I spent about a minute staring at the title trying to make sense of it.<BR/><BR/>I think part of the problem some have with limited atonement is that they worry about making God look snobbish. It is, of course, completely unfair for any to complain about whom God elects to salvation, since we all deserve Hell. And rather than sneer at unbelievers who seem headed that way, we ought both to pray for their salvation and thank God that He by His grace saved us. There's a lot to be said for the phrase "there but for the grace of God go I".Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06229664869019275181noreply@blogger.com
