They can't defend it because there is no scripture to support it. Please show me one scripture that says Jesus only atoned for the sins of some, but not all. There is nothing, but there are plenty of scriptures that say that he has atoned for all of the sins of the whole world and that he is the savior of the whole world. Here are just some.
"And he is a propitation for our sins; and not ours only, but for the sins of the WHOLE WORLD" 1 John 2:2.
"And we have seen and do testify that the Father sent the Son to be the savior of the WHOLE WORLD" 1 John 4:14.
"God was in Christ reconciling the WORLD unto himself" 2 Corinthians 5:19.
"For I came not to judge the world but to save the WORLD" John 12:47.
"For God so loved the WORLD that he gave his only begotten Son" John 3:16.
And then there are other scriptures like Hebrews 2:9 and 1 Timothy 4:10.
"That he by the grace of God should taste for EVERYONE"
"Because we trust in the living God who is the savior of ALL MEN"
I counted that there are about 75 scriptures that say Jesus is the savior of the world, all men, whosoever. I cannot find one scripture that says that he has only atoned for some sins but not all sins.
I mean if you are going to stake your eternal soul on a religion or a doctrine then you should be able to defend it. And I mean defend it without butchering the Bible or the word "World". So here is your chance Mr. and Mrs. Calvinist.
