Tim B

This goes along the lines of the thread I started a while back about Christ being the savior of the world (as opposed to just some of the world). It's a pretty self explanatory paragraph. Enjoy!

"Christ, we know from the Bible, is the Savior of the world. He is, therefore, on the popular view, the Savior of those whom in fact He does not save. This evidently follows. But this principle once admitted, it is wholly immaterial, as a matter of reasoning, what the percentage of the lost may be. Although out of the countless myriads of our race but a few hundreds were saved, God would still save every man. Indeed, though not even one solitary soul were saved, God would still, on the principle popularly held, save every man. For that principle is this, that to offer salvation, though the offer come to nothing, is to save. Hence it undoubtedly follows that God might be the Savior of the whole race of men, though not one soul were in fact saved. All might be saved on this principle, though all were in fact damned!"
