If Christ Is Going To Save Everyone
Mike,
If everyone is going to heaven or be saved anyhow, then why did Christ have to die?
Thanks,

Hello D____,
Christ had to die so that everyone could be saved. If a fireman has to go into a burning building to save one person, and then finds there are ten in there, don’t you think he should go back and get them all? Are you suggesting that he just save the first one that he takes down the ladder? The fireman has to ‘ go into the building‘ to save them all. Christ had to come into this burning, decaying world to save His elect first. It was Christ through whom God “created all things.” That is how we all ended up “in Adam.” We did not ‘freely choose’ to be “in Adam.” So Christ did not come to save only those who are “special’ to Him. He will “also” save ” all… in Adam.” Even those who have rejected Him.
1Co 15:22 For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.
Do you see what it says there? “ All in Adam… die.” That exact same “all… shall be made alive… in Christ.”
That is why Christ had to die. So that “all in Adam” could be “made alive… in Christ.”
1Ti 4:10 For therefore we both labour and suffer reproach, because we trust in the living God, who is the Saviour of all men, specially [ not exclusively] of those that believe.
1Jn 2:2 And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world.
As clear as this all is, the carnal mind in its pride and in the darkness of the lies of orthodox Christian teaching, clings to an eternal hell in which men are tormented forever with no end in sight. And the purpose for that torment is for the torment’s sake only. It has no other purpose. It is not to chasten or to reprove or to save. It is solely for the purpose of inflicting excruciating pain for all eternity! This demonic, depraved doctrine is easier for the carnal, orthodox Christian mind to comprehend than to admit that Christ would naturally go back into that burning, decaying building and save all who are in need of His saving power. In effect they all ask the same insane question, ‘If Christ is going to save everyone in the burning building, why did he have to go into the burning building?’ The answer is always the same…
1Jn 2:2 He is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world.
Mike
