The Atonement misnomer- sufficient for all, efficient for some

[Jesus is YHWH]

Very sketching explanation of atonement. You spend more time on one of the purposes of atonement, namely the forgiveness of sin through faith.

The atonement consists of two parts. The primary aspect of atonement was overcoming death Man did not have an eternal existence as a mortal. He was condemned to death Gen 3:9. So, Heb 2:9, or Rom 5:12, II Tim 1:10. Heb 2:14-16 and the summation of the fall and correction of that fall I Cor 15:21-22.. All of mankind will be raised in the last day I Cor 15:52-53. This is universal, all men and this aspect is also imposed on us because of Christ's Incarnation whereby He took on our human nature and raised it from the dead, Paul spends a lot of time on this aspect I Cor 15 is called the resurrection chapter,.

Now the second aspect of atonement is the sacrifice of blood for sin. One drop is all that is necessary to cover all and every sin of every human being that will ever live. I John 2:2. This aspect is received only by faith. It was sufficient for all men, but all men will not believe in order to receive forgiveness of sins.
Now the Holy Spirit is in this world calling all men to repentance and whosoever believes shall inherit eternal life.

The OP is just a small part of a thesis paper I'm working on with the Trinity and the atonement. If you were to read it in its context you would have a better understanding of my position. I have given it to several pastors from different denominations to review and a couple scholars I know who have all encouraged me and see my position as acceptable within Christendom.

I don't have access to your paper. So, in the meantime, why not respond to my statements if they actually fit your thesis.
