Limited Atonement from the Teaching of The Good Shepherd

John 10: 11-15 cross/ref John 10:26= LIMITED ATONEMENT
Simple, to the point, and irrefutable... and in light of the fact that these are the very words of Christ himself, an Arminian would be wise to seek for a proper interpretation of the verses that he has to Ginsu to fit his poor theology...

John 10:11 "I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep."

John 10:15 "As the Father knoweth me, even so know I the Father: and I lay down my life for the sheep."

John 10:26 "But ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep, as I said unto you."

The Folly of Free Will in Salvation

Ever have a problem, when discussing God's Sovereign Grace, of people quoting Bible verses that show the action of "Believing or Seeking," to support their Belief in Free will? Or perhaps they point to a Bible character who excercises faith, and exclaim that he came to Christ of his own volition. Any Good "Calvinist" has run into this, and The "Free Willie" has usually deluded himself into thinking the case is closed..

However, far from being correct the Arminian (FREE WILLIE) has to deal with one problem...

None of the verses they quote show a free will decision... they are simply imposing free will on the text . That is why you have biblical contradictions such as:


Jeremiah 29:13-And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart. (A favorite Free will verse)

and

Rom 3:11 There is none that understandeth, there is NONE THAT SEEKETH after God.


NOW IF HERE IS NONE THAT SEEKETH GOD, how can a man make a free will decision to seek and find God..


>=== HE CAN NOT ==<

But due to spiritual blindness, or lack of biblical understanding, or downright rebellion against the sovereignty of God...Arminians are willing to forgo the obvious contradictions, and impose free will on every text that says "seek" or "believe." There is no text that CLEARLY supports free will decisions... only the Theological presupposition of those who can't see the truth. Verse after verse has been shown concerning the total inability to come to Christ. yet THEY show not one verse that clearly states man can make a free will decision. NONE. The Bible is clear : ANYONE AND EVERYONE who exercises saving faith in the bible, WHETHER SEEKING OR FINDING OR BELIEVING does so because they are are chosen by God, and regenerated by the Holy Spirit. They WILL come to Christ, and He WILL save and Preserve them.. and They will, when glorified, Conform to the image to Jesus Christ, as predestined before the foundation of the world

Isaiah 64:7 "There is no one who calls upon your name, who rouses himself to take hold of you, for you have hidden your face from us and have made us melt in the hand of our iniquities
