About this Episode

In the third installment of Sooner's 2023 Fall Gospel Meeting, Timothy Fleming addresses John Calvin's third pillar of doctrine (represented by the acronym TULIP), known as "Limited Atonement." Calvinism posits that Jesus' sacrifice wasn't made for the whole world, but exclusively for those whom God had elected to be saved before time began. Therefore, Christ only served as a substitutionary sacrifice for a limited number of people whom God had ordained to be saved - not the whole world.

However, this is the complete opposite of what the Bible teaches about the nature of atonement for sins. Follow along as we gain a clearer picture of who God had in mind when His ultimate plan for mankind was fulfilled through Christ's death on the cross.

[Heb 2:9 KJV] 9 But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man.
