the more we read that bible the more we see THE WHY it was not given them .I think we agree the Atonement is Limited the way Jesus thinks it's Limited. He was asked why he speaks in Parables. He said it was given to the Disciples to Understand, but it wasn't given to Others to Understand; so he spoke in Parables because the Others were not permitted to Understand. Why? Because he said it was given to Peter by God to know earler. God removed the Tree of Life from the Garden lest they live forever. The Gospel is a Tree of Life; Jesus removed it by speaking in Parables. As Omniscient God, he knew they would not Believe, so they weren't Atoned for as non Believers...
We're Permitted to Preach to All, but Jesus Did not commit himself to them because he knew what was in the Others. I think we agree that 'at least that day', he didn't want them to Understand the Gospel...
Right?
IN part you were right . THEY were NOT in the KINGDOM , they had hard hearts
JESUS KNEW . read it . FOR they have hardned their hearts .
THE SHEEP KNew , though , didnt they . Even a few gentiles knew . EVEN though JESUS
had not yet come to THEM but to the JEWS FIRST .
IN the end the one responsible for their damnation IS MAN
the only one a person has to thank if they end up in the lake of fire is their own selves .
AND THE ONLY ONE a person can thank IN THE HEAVENLY KINGDOM , IS JESUS THE CHRIST
cause HE was the ONLY WAY THEY GOT THERE . I say TO HE WE OWE ALL . as i am sure you do agree on that my friend .
Much time has been wasted on denominatal doctrines of men .
WHEN we should have simply focused on GRACE , focused on learning JESUS for ourselves in the bible
sound doctrine and preaching that name to all .
