Without offering an offense, Stuart, I think you missed the point of my last question, so I'll ask it again a different way. You and I agree on the meaning of the word "atonement" or "atone" in reference to what Christ did on the cross: the debt of sin was paid in full by Christ in his sacrifice. The question is only the extent of the atonement.
So I ask you: if the effect of the cross is universal atonement for sin, how can God in justice punish anyone for their sins -- even the unbelievers to whom you say "your sins are forgiven" even though they have not repented? Does God punish people for sin even though their sins are atoned for in Christ?

This is centuri0n, aka Frank Turk, who has been an internet apologist for about 10 years and has never really gained anything for himself through it but a handful of friends and a lot of ill-will. Most people, honestly, do not like to argue with him because he doesn't know how to let it go. He's a blogger of some minor note, and he's a "calvinist".
