MACARTHUR ON JOHN 3:16 Members Public

The following post is taken from this site: Does God So Love the World? – Grace to You with John. All emphasis will be mine. John MacArthur Love is the best known but least understood of all God’s attributes. Almost everyone who believes in God these days sees Him as

JOHN’S PROLOGUE VS. LIMITED ATONEMENT Members Public

In this post I will demonstrate from what is typically called by scholars the prologue of John, i.e., 1:1-18, the falsity of limited atonement, which is an unbiblical tradition held on to by some (not) all Calvinists. The reason for doing so is that both reformed and non-reformed
