Mark,
Do you believe that the atonement on the cross fully forgives all of your sins or did the application of the atonement happen later? In other words were you already forgiven before you were born or did the application need to be a separate even from the actual atonement?

Why do you believe that Jesus would say that He was giving the truth that he gives Himself for the life of the world when He really only meant for a few people? Why is the established meaning of “World” not mean elect in the lexicons? And why did the Samaritans believe that the Savior would be “of the world” not of the “elect”? Why did they qualify to have Jesus be their Savior? Were they wrong believing that Jesus was the Savior for the whole world?
