Can you explain limited atonement?

Q: My question is about the L in TULIP - limited Atonement. I have had trouble wrapping my mind around this and reconciling it with some of scripture. RC Sproul's term definite atonement has helped me and I think it is probably a more accurate term. But would like to hear what Dr. E has to say about this doctrine and scripture to support it. Head to our show notes for all of the resources mentioned in Dr. E's answer. Do you have a biblical or theological question for Dr. E?   Call or text us your question at 615-281-9694 or email at [email protected].
