33 NT Passages Against Limited Atonement and in Favor of Universal Atonement “Turretinfan” is a prolific Calvinist apologist. He wrote an article, “The Intent of the Cross” (6-6-24), which was intended to be a biblical  argument for the limited atonement (Christ died only for the elect, not all men).

In it, a number of false claims about what the Bible teaches or supposedly never teaches are made. I will prove that the statements are false at the end by producing five scriptural examples that many... Read more

Matthew 19:29; 25:34-46; Mark 16:16; Luke 6:35; Acts 10:34-35 On 10-8-24, I published my article, Bible vs. “Faith Alone”: 100 Proofs (100 Bible Passages On Catholic Justification, Sanctification, and Faith + Works [from 22 out of 27 NT Books]: All Disproving Protestant “Faith Alone” Soteriology). Later, I got the idea of inquiring as to how John Calvin (1509-1564), one of the two the most influential founders of Protestantism, along with Martin Luther, would react to these passages in his Commentaries (and then offering... Read more

He expressed this in his article, Did Martin Luther Miscite Saint Augustine? (Boors All, 11-12-24), and issued the following challenge: Rome’s defenders, past and present, . . .  are assuming Augustine’s infallible authority structure... Read more
