Objection 3 answered: intercession is available to all who draw near, not limited to a fixed elect group
Mike addresses the intercession objection using Hebrews 7:25.
Hebrews 7:25: "he is able to save to the uttermost those who draw near to God through him." The "them" he intercedes for are those who draw near — a whoever category. Mike argues intercession is available to all who come but is only actualized for those who do come in faith. This parallels his extent/application distinction for the atonement. The intercession argument only forces a false dilemma if you already assume limited atonement.
