I suspect that if most of us were asked about how many times we thought the NT mentioned the word atonement that we could have had figures upwards of a dozen or so, but:BTW, I found 38 references to atonement for sin in my NKJV; 0 for atonement for healing, and all in the OT. In other versions of the Bible the word atonement does not appear and is usually translated reconciliation. In fact, except for Romans 5.11, and only in the KJV, the word reconciliation does not even appear in the Bible. Elsewhere, in other translations, the word καταλλαγή is reconciliation. Ergo, it looks like we have made a complicated doctrine out of a mistranslated word. If that is the case, then to say healing is in the atonement would be like saying that to be physically healed is to be eternally reconciled with God.
