So say you.

But the New Covenant of the Gospel of the Grace of Christ says otherwise in 1 John 2:2, 2 Cor 5:19, the Book of Romans, the Book of Galatians, and pretty much the whole New Testament.

God is the justifier of the ungodly (Romans 4:5).

If you want to bring back the condemnation of the law, your doctrine is totally unscriptural under the Gospel of the Grace of Christ and carries with it a double curse (Gal. 1:8-9).

Scripture calls the ministry of the condemnation of the law, the ministry of death (2 Cor 3:7). We are not to be ministers of the condemnation and death of the law but ministers of reconciliation.

And all things are of God, who has reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and has given to us the ministry of reconciliation; 19 that is, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and has committed unto us the word of reconciliation. 20 Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ's stead, be ye reconciled to God. 21 For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.
2 Corinthians 5:18-21.

No, so says God’s Word. There’s not a born-again, Bible-believing pastor or group of elders or church now or at any time that would agree with what you say here. What church or group of believers or theology is closest to your beliefs?

“And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world.” 1 John 2:2

And again, the Bible clearly teaches that Jesus’ sacrificial death paid for all the sins of mankind, and that reassures anyone and everyone who comes to believe in and put their trust in Christ that He died for their sins too, but the Bible just as clearly teaches that if people reject Christ, they’re rejecting His sacrifice on their behalf.

That is equally clear in 2 Corinthians 3, which says God reconciled the world to Himself through Jesus’ death AND THEN SAYS, “Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech (request earnestly, beg) you by us: we pray you in Christ’s stead, be ye reconciled to God.”

So right there in 2 Corinthians 5:20: People STILL have to choose to be reconciled to God. Or do you have some other explanation for 2 Corinthians 5:20?

God made the Way for us in His Son, but we still have to choose to walk it.
