The Giving Part 2: Judas the Betrayer, a Balanced View of the Sovereignty of God

Was God’s Wrath Satisfied in Christ or Paid in Hell?
Was God’s wrath satisfied in Christ? If so then how can sinners suffer God’s wrath in hell? This question is one that is often asked by Calvinists to those who do not hold to the teaching of Calvinism.
What did the death of Jesus do for the world?
The death of Jesus for the world is a delicate question for Calvinists according to John Piper. Piper answers a question from one of his listeners in a post called “ In What Sense Did Jesus Die for the Non-Elect? ” In the audio transcript of an interview Piper says:
Was the death of Jesus evil? Calvinism and ordained evil
This question is often asked of those of us who do not believe that God initiates evil. If God predestined the death of Jesus, does this mean that God commanded or ordained the evil acts of men? A Calvinist website describes God’s ordaining of evil this way:

John Piper’s article “ For Whom did Jesus Taste Death? ” focuses on Piper’s premise that disallows Jesus from being a ransom sacrifice for all people. There are many parts of Piper’s article that I would like to address, but I will deal with them one at a time in individual posts.
No man left behind: Jesus died for all

For whom did Jesus die? 13 Biblical witnesses on Christ’s death
For whom did Jesus die? here are two questions of great importance for both Calvinists and non-Calvinists alike. After the two questions and answers, I would like to give a challenge to Calvinists.

Truthseeker, I spent years in a Calvary Chapel environment, and it sounds like you are well aware that they are strict fundamentalists. Fundamentalism actually began as a good thing in the early 19...
I feel the need to share my experience with Matt Slick since I have found him to be one of the biggest hypocrites in the professing church today. My history with Matt has gone on for over 10 years and...
Heidi, I am also working on a DVD project that refutes Limited Atonement specifically from John 6. <https://mmoutreach.org/tg/>. When I was dealing with Slick years ago, he tried to push me on this i...
And Jn 3:16 refutes limited atonement completely, as does 1 Jn 2:2, 1 Tim. 4:9-10, 2 Co. 5:14-15, 1 Jn 4:14, Jn 1:29. The premise behind limited atonement is that if Jesus died for everyone then every...

CLC, I pretty much agree with what you say in your comment regarding the limited application of the “shepherd” metaphor to elders (47). They are indeed to be mature mentors and guides. And as for my i...
Mark, You said: > 4. Finally I would just like to point out how you understand the seed of the woman in Gen 3. you said “It was God who said that the seed of the woman would defeat the serpent.” Now...

Mark, You said: > I don’t think you should doubt Jesus. But I don’t think taking universal language the way you do is correct. After all [Romans 5](logos4:///Bible/Ro 5) says that Jesus justified ‘...
Cheryl, i haven’t got time right now to respond to your last 2 posts, but i am eager too. Food for thought in the meantime. What is the atonement? Is it not Jesus taking the ‘punishment’ we deserve ...

Cheryl, First of all i never called you a semi-pelagian. I asked you to show me how your view is not semi-pelagian, there is a difference. From what you have written it seems that we somewhat are cl...
