You go with your traditions.I'll go with the logical interpretation over your twisted one.
What makes you think I have any traditions? No one just read the bible and decides that "world" means "church". They have to be taught that by some person, not by the Word.You go with your traditions.
You go with your traditions.
so you have nothing to show where I was wrong in my comment.See OP
1 Tim. 2:3-4,
"For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour;
Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth."
How can God desire "all men to be saved" and offer an atonement for sin that is limited to just some?
The all men there will be saved and come to the knowledge of the Truth. Its the Sheep.1 Tim. 2:3-4,
"For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour;
Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth."

Christ stated He died for His Sheep, that's specific limited language.I agree that the atonement only benefits those who accept it! But the offer of that atonement is not limited, it stands for all mankind.
God wants all to accept that atonement, the only way is to make the offer to all.
But we know that not all of mankind will accept it, but that in no way limits God's offer to man.
The atonement isnt offered, thats tradition. Christs blood was offered to Gods Law and Justice for the sins of His People, and God accepted His Offering, and that Justified the people He died for.I agree that the atonement only benefits those who accept it!

Lol, so now " all" doesn't mean "all" and " men" means sheep.The all men there will be saved and come to the knowledge of the Truth. Its the Sheep.
Arent your comments against the OP ?so you have nothing to show where I was wrong in my comment.
duly noted.

Yeah all means all, all the elect. All the Father gave to Christ Jn 6:37Lol, so now " all" doesn't mean "all" and " men" means sheep.
We raise sheep, BTW. I never call them " all men" because they would get very confused. :)
Yeah all means all, all the elect. All the Father gave to Christ Jn 6:37
All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out.
The Sheep Jn 10Here again you deny 1 John 2:2, you deny John 3:16, you deny several other scriptures you have been shown.
There's no way out of this for you, you have been proven wrong in false doctrine and deny it has happened.
You deceived, nothing about a offer there friend !Read John 3:16 and deny that is an offer to man! I'm telling you there is no way out of this!
Thats the Sheep Jn 10Yea, and there you go again denying "He is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not only for ours but also for the sins of the whole world." 1John 2:2, which couldn't be clearer.
He is not only the atoning sacrifice for the sins of us who are saved, but also for the whole world.
You are straight out in denial of God's Word, period!
Oh I'm quite familiar with John 10. Did it ever occur to you that the reason Jesus was saying these Metaphorical Statements was too Encourage people to become sheep?Yeah all means all, all the elect. All the Father gave to Christ Jn 6:37
All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out.
Thats the Sheep Jn 10
Its Jesus stating who He specifically died for You would be wise to believe it.Oh I'm quite familiar with John 10. Did it ever occur to you that the reason Jesus was saying these Metaphorical Statements was too Encourage people to become sheep?
Otherwise, why bother? He was being Evangelistic.
