What does universal atonement teach?

Answered in 1 source

Universal atonement teaches that Christ died for all humans, but this is contrary to the gospel according to scripture.

Universal atonement posits that Christ's death was meant for every person, regardless of their eventual fate, implying that all individuals have been given the potential for salvation. However, this teaching contradicts the clear biblical assertions regarding the specific and effectual nature of Christ's atonement for the elect. Such a view undermines the power of Christ's sacrifice, suggesting that it was ineffective for those who ultimately perish in hell. The doctrines of grace articulate that God's plan of salvation is intentional and specific, not a general offer lacking efficacy.
Scripture References: Isaiah 53:8, Hebrews 10
