My cousin's friend is awaiting a liver transplant. What are the chances?

That's interesting. Since we know that God is fully capable of performing unlimited miracles and so could heal her liver, then it could be properly said that God's miraculous healing of diseased livers is sufficent for all, effective only for those He actually does heal. So, would the potential miracle healing be of any effect?

So it is with the notion of unlimited or universal atonement. Unless that atonement gets you into heaven, then, practically speaking, Christ does not exist for you. If He atoned for your sins, you will go to heaven. If you go to hell, He couldn't have atoned for your sins.

A possible miracle is no miracle at all if you die from a diseased liver. A possible atonement is no atonement at all when you face an eternity in the lake of fire.

You've spent many words to accuse us of having a philosophical system. In fact, it is you who has a philophical system which has a primary purpose:

It exonerates God from being considered "unfair" to mankind by using free will to indict each individual man (instead of embracing orthodox teaching that we are born under the curse of Adam as taught in scripture).

God does not need your theological exoneration because His justice is perfect.

Potter. Clay.
Any questions?

Too personal, GW....it's a dying friend/relative of mine. If your post is supposed to be humorous, it isn't. If it's supposed to be awesome debate technique, it's inappropriate.
