If Christ Died For All; What Then?

The doctrine of universal atonement is blasphemous because:

1. The teaching that Christ died to save all men makes man his own savior.

2. Teaching a universal atonement reduces the love of God to nothing.

3. Teaching a universal atonement reduces the wisdom of God to foolishness.

4. Teaching a universal atonement is a denial of the justice of God.

5. Teaching a universal atonement reduces the omnipotence of almighty God to impotence weaker than the will of man!

6. Teaching a universal atonement asserts that the immutable God is, after all, fickle, mutable, and changeable.

7. Teaching a universal atonement robs God of his glory in salvation.

8. Teaching a universal atonement denies the satisfaction of Christ.

9. Teaching a universal atonement affirms that there are multitudes in hell for whom the Lord Jesus Christ died in vain!

10. Teaching a universal atonement separates the priestly office and work of Christ, declaring that Christ sacrificed himself for and died in the place of a people for whom he refused to pray (John 17:9, 20).

11. Teaching a universal atonement makes the cross of Christ a miscarriage and asserts that he shall never see of the travail of his soul and be satisfied (Isaiah 53:10-11).

12. Teaching a universal atonement gives sinners no reason to look to, trust, and hope in Christ.

13. Teaching a universal atonement offers believers no reason to love, obey, and glorify Christ.

14. Above all else, teaching a universal atonement declares that Jesus Christ is a failure, a weak, frustrated, defeated failure, rather than the sovereign, effectual Savior of his people!
