00:00:00.000 In less than a year, our podcast has gone from an average of 10,000 downloads a month

00:00:04.300 to 50,000 downloads. What made the difference? You leaving us a five-star review. The more

00:00:10.260 positive reviews, the more the algorithm picks us up, and more people are confronted by the law

00:00:16.360 and gospel of Jesus Christ. Help us press forward the crown rights of King Jesus by leaving us a

00:00:23.480 five-star review on your favorite podcast platform thanks if jesus died for everyone

00:00:30.040 each and every individual world meaning universal and he died for everyone and everyone's sin

00:00:38.720 each person and every sin of each person then why do people go to hell

00:00:45.880 the immediate counter of course is well jesus may have died for each person and for each of their

00:00:54.100 sins providing payment for their sin but that's a gift the gift of christ's blood the gift of his

00:01:02.360 atonement the gift of his forgiveness and his payment it's a gift that's given and people

00:01:07.480 still have to choose to receive that gift and if people choose not to receive that gift but rather

00:01:15.260 to scorn it and to toss it aside well then even though jesus paid for all their sins all of their

00:01:24.120 sins they didn't receive that payment and therefore they go to hell that's the common counter here's

00:01:30.400 my counter to the counter you're saying that jesus paid for each person's sin all the sins of all

00:01:38.320 people but they have to receive that payment and some people reject his payment is that a sin

00:01:47.460 is a person's rejection of christ's sacrifice and atonement a sin

00:01:52.940 because you just admitted that jesus paid for everyone's sin and not just some but all the

00:02:00.720 sins of each person? Is rejection of Jesus a sin? If so, and it is, did he pay for that one?

00:02:11.380 And if not, this is what you have to do logically to reject limited atonement as a biblical doctrine,

00:02:17.940 and it is. What you have to do logically is this. You have to say, okay, well then,

00:02:22.100 I see where you're going. Jesus paid for everyone's sin and every sin of every individual

00:02:30.580 person except the sin of rejecting him so then logically you would have to say that those people

00:02:38.840 who go to hell because we're not universalists we don't believe everyone goes to heaven the bible

00:02:43.740 clearly teaches against that so you have to say that those who are in hell jesus paid for all

00:02:48.300 their sin they're not in hell for adultery they're not in hell for murder they're not in hell for

00:02:53.020 blasphemy they're not in hell for lying and bearing false witness they're not in hell for coveting

00:02:57.540 they're not in hell for idolatry they're not no jesus paid for all their sin that's your argument

00:03:02.460 so you have to say the only sin that jesus didn't pay for is a rejection of jesus payment so then

00:03:08.800 you would have to say that anyone who goes to hell is only in hell being punished for that one sin

00:03:15.280 the rejection of christ's payment and once you've arrived at this step of the argument then it's

00:03:21.160 easy to dispel because the bible clearly teaches that people will be eternally punished in hell

00:03:27.240 for a variety of sins, not only the sin of rejecting Christ's sacrificial work. People will

00:03:34.940 be punished in hell for murder. People will be punished in hell for sexual immorality. People 1.00

00:03:42.140 will be punished in hell for lying and for theft. This is expressed in the book of Romans. This is

00:03:48.620 expressed in the book of Revelation. And people ultimately will be the object of God's judgment.

00:03:57.240 it is not the ethereal spirit of murder that will be punished for eternity in hell

00:04:04.160 it is murderers murder won't be punished in hell forever murderers will

00:04:10.920 adultery will not be punished forever in hell adulterers will lies will not be punished 0.95

00:04:19.300 forever in hell liars will this is what the bible teaches 0.97

00:04:26.080 the bible teaches that some will go to hell that they will not be recipients of god's saving grace 0.94

00:04:34.900 through faith in jesus christ that they will suffer under the just righteous wrath of god

00:04:41.760 for eternity and his wrath will be poured out not merely for the singular sin of choosing to reject

00:04:48.620 christ and his sacrifice but a variety of sins rejecting christ at the foremost but also adultery

00:04:55.640 and lying and murder and blasphemy

00:04:57.920 and breaking the Sabbath and coveting 0.51

00:05:00.440 and the whole nine yards,

00:05:02.000 or in this case, 10 yards. 0.86

00:05:07.380 So people will go to hell

00:05:09.100 and they will be punished for their sin.

00:05:11.760 And God is just.

00:05:15.360 He does not exact double payment

00:05:18.200 for a singular crime.

00:05:20.420 If some people go to hell

00:05:22.620 and are punished for some sins,

00:05:24.560 it is precisely because those sins were not paid for by Jesus on the cross

00:05:30.680 if we think about it any other way then we have to ultimately conclude that God punished Jesus

00:05:37.860 fully the sufficiency of his sacrifice he punished Jesus for one group of people that are going to

00:05:46.140 go to hell and he punished him fully and then he said you know what even though I've exacted

00:05:51.920 the fair payment for these sins. I'm going to go ahead and penalize these sins a second time.

00:05:58.380 Punish Jesus once, and then punish those individuals in hell a second time. Jesus on the

00:06:04.880 cross, one punishment. These people in hell, the second punishment. Two punishments, one infraction.

00:06:13.280 That's the simplest way to break it down. That is injustice. God is just.

00:06:21.920 We'll be right back.
